[leaf-user] Backing up .lrp with Bering CD
Hi folks, I notice that I don't have an option to back up packages to a floppy disk from the main menu with my Bering CD. Do I need to modify my isolinux.cfg file and somehow add a /dev/fd0 entry to allow for this or is there something else I need to do? Below is my isolinux.cfg file entries. Thank you.

[leaf-user] Backing up .lrp with Bering CD
Hi folks, I tried backing up .lrp packages from the main lrcfg menu by selecting option "d", but unfortunately you get an "Unknown package!" error instead of being able to select your floppy drive. I then recreated another Bering CD with the package path statement in my isolinux.cfg file to look like- PKGPATH=/dev/cdrom:iso9660,/dev/fd0:msdos but that doesn't work either. Is there another way to enable your floppy drive as a backup destination option using a bootable CD??? Thank you...have a great week!

[leaf-user] Backing up .lrp with Bering CD
Hey Eric, That sounds great! I won't "hold you to it"...but when do you think that may be updated in Bering? Will you post to the group so we'll know? Thank you!

[leaf-user] Backing up .lrp with Bering CD
Hi Eric,
You'd probably spot this on your own, but I just wanted to let you know
that you have a typographical error in your script syntax...you have "if
the backup device $FS is not yet in the pkgpath disk than
insert it.", but it should be "if the backup device $FS is not yet in
the pkgpath disk then
insert it." ("then" instead of "than"). Have a great week! :-)
Craig

RE: [leaf-user] Backing up .lrp with Bering CD
I think you can still set the destination by using the d in the backup menu & then use the c for custom. If you don't add an entry for fd0 in your isolinux.cfg you probably won't be able to take advantage of the overriding capabilities of the lrpkg.cfg file. Check http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/jnilo/bubooting.html more specifically section 9.5 for more info on lrpkg.cfg Kim Oppalfens >-- Origineel Bericht -- >From: "Craig" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: "LEAF" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: [leaf-user] Backing up .lrp with Bering CD >Date: Sun, 18 Aug 2002 16:45:02 -0700 > > >Hi folks, >I notice that I don't have an option to back up packages to a floppy >disk from the main menu with my Bering CD.

Re: [leaf-user] Backing up .lrp with Bering CD
Hello Craig , in the backup menu the options provided directly are only the one you are booting or getting package from. It is however no problem to backup to another medium To backup for example package 3 to a floppy do the following in the backup menu d 3 Set Backup Destination 1) fd0u1680 msdos c) custom destination q) quit selection: c Device [fd0]: now you put in the device name without any /dev stuff before. to backup to a 1,44 floppy in drive 2 ( /dev/fd1u1440) Device [fd0]: fd1u1440 Filesystem : msdos now you will return to the backup menu wit fd1u1440 as backup device. Something to improve is take the new medium in the device to choose ( uptome ;) ) PS it could be interesting for you to do a partial backup, only write the configuration files to disk Good Luck Eric Wolzak member of the bering crew > Hi folks, > I notice that I don't have an option to back up packages to a floppy > disk from the main menu with my Bering CD.

No, I don't. _I_ enter "d etc" and then return, and it brings up a menu. > I then recreated > another Bering CD with the package path statement in my isolinux.cfg > file to look like- PKGPATH=/dev/cdrom:iso9660,/dev/fd0:msdos but that > doesn't work either.

RE: [leaf-user] Backing up .lrp with Bering CD
Hi Craig, Francois, Jeff and list
>
To change a destination you have to specify for what package you want
a different backup.
So d followed by the name or the number of the package.
To backup etc you have to put:
Selection d 3
then you will have the destination available.
I mentioned in my previous post that a custom destination is not saved
and so it doesn't show up the next time you want to change a
destination.
I have a fix for this that will be included in the next release
change
/usr/bin/lrcfg.back
in function SetDest()
line 132: change
qt mv $CONFF $CONFB
sed "${PKGn}s:=.*\$:=-t $FS /dev/$DEV:" $CONFB >$CONFF
qt rm $CONFB
---
to
qt mv $CONFF $CONFB
sed "${PKGn}s:=.*\$:=-t $FS /dev/$DEV:" $CONFB >$CONFF
if ! `grep -q "$DEV $FS" $LRPKG/pkgpath.disks`;then
echo "$DEV $FS" >>$LRPKG/pkgpath.disks
fi
qt rm $CONFB
in Text if the backup device $FS is not yet in the pkgpath disk than
insert it.
.
Backup root.lrp after this change.
Attention this is only necessary to keep the custom destination also for
the next package. Backing up does function allready
