Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist I want if for debian-installer, maybe boot-floppies, is it already included in something? My searching turned up nothing so far.

It doesn't require you to mount // the image file to copy files on it. It doesn't even require // you to be the superuser to make device nodes. // // Warning ! `genext2fs' has been designed for embedded // systems. As such, it will generate a filesystem for single-user // usage: all files/directories/etc... will belong to UID/GID 0 // // Example usage: // // # genext2fs -b 1440 -d srcdir /dev/fd0 // // All files in the srcdir directory will be written to /dev/fd0 as // a new ext2 filesystem image. You can then mount the floppy as // usual. // // # genext2fs -b 1024 -d builddir -f devices.txt flashdisk.img // // This one would build a filesystem from all the files in builddir, // then would read a devices list and make apropriate nodes. The // format for the device list is: // // drwx /dev // crw- 10,190 /dev/lcd // brw- 1,0 /dev/ram0 // // This device list builds the /dev directory, a character device // node /dev/lcd (major 10, minor 190) and a block device node // /dev/ram0 (major 1, minor 0) -David
