While I've had considerable success this particular Dec 14th image,
I'm wondering if you are planning to make an update to a more recent
version of your rescue disk.
Also, I can't seem to recall if the config files that you used to
build it are available... within the image itself once it's up and
running?
I'll soon be playing around with more CDROM burning myself. With a
2.88Mb image to play around with, I'm tempted to attempt to use this
as a basis to make a CDROM boot image that includes the glibc6 runtime
loader and libraries (and perhaps even some of the modules and other
useful utilities).
BTW, on another point altogether... the history mechanism that is
being used with ash is quite good. Does it have any capabilities for
recalling specific commands, eg, recalling any command that
pattern-matches an entered sequence (like bash can do)? This would be
very useful for easily finding commands that have been typed far back
into the history.
On yet another point... any consideration of doing a two-disk set,
with the second disk image including a bunch of other utilities?
Cheers
Tony
