Has this always been the case for root.lrp? I just made one change to
~/.profile and wanted to back that up. Is there another package I should
backup to do this?
Thanks,

Hi,

but the LRP package turned out to be 21 MB in size!
Here's the output:

Creating root.lrp Please wait: |

Enough freespace? (y/N)
-------------------
I took a look into root.list and find that this is specified as the list
of files:
"./"
I am running lrcfg from the ~ (/root/) directory. Is it trying to back
up the whole LEAF system?
Running from /root should not make a difference.
Indeed it tries to backup the whole system, except for everything that
should be backed up by other packages.
You would want to check how much space is used on the root filesystem
with 'df': if the size there is about equal or smaller than 20 MB then
there's probably something wrong with the backup script.
You could also start the backup again and at the question
"Enough freespace? (y/N)" press ctrl+c to abort the script. Now the
temporary created root package is in /tmp/root.lrp and you could for
example unpack it in /tmp/root by running:
mkdir /tmp/root
cd /tmp/root
tar xzf ../root.lrp
Then you can see for yourself what's being backed up.
