Description:
BootRoot 0.4 is boot software developed by Jonathan Rosenbaum.
BootRoot creates a boot disk with lilo, a kernel and an initrd image. The initrd script mounts another root disk with a compressed (gzip or bzip2) filesystem.
The root filesystem isn't made by this program, but there lots of compressed filesytems out there to use.
You can use a bzip2 compressed filesystem, this program is easy to use, and it provides a framework showing a simple initrd method which you can freely modify.
The four steps to making a Boot Root set.
1). Grab the Perl Script right here .. boot_root give it a name .. umm .. boot_root.
2). Make sure the bang line points to the right place:
$ which perl
/usr/bin/perl
$ grep "perl -w" boot_root
!/usr/bin/perl -w
3). Make it executable:
$ chmod 755 boot_root
4). Put it in one of your LIB PATHS:
$ echo $PATH /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:.:
$ mv boot_root /usr/bin
5). Run it, and have lots of fun! More directions can be found at the beginning of the script.
BootRoot 0.4 supports english interface languages and works with Linux.
Downloading BootRoot 0.4 will take several seconds if you use fast ADSL connection.
