I wish to bounce my current 4.2 onto tape and then restore it onto a new
(larger) drive. Then, after I have a copy of it on two drives, I will
upgrade to 5.0.
Back in my time, I used to do this with dump/restor and a stand-alone unix
(i.e. booted from a floppy).
I booted from the redhat boot floppies and looked around. I only found
CPIO. I also found no reference to my hard drives nor scsi tape in /dev. I
assume that I will have to do some mknod's after I boot from the floppies...
If anyone has done this before with RedHat and would like to suggest a
workable method to do this bouncing, I'd appreciate the help (and
time/frustration saving :-). Specific incanatations of cpio would be
helpful.
thanx
