Copying system information to a floppy disk for our installation support desk is a typical application scenario for the rescue system. This proves specially useful in cases where the installation crashes from the beginning.
The 3 steps
will be explained by means of 2 examples:
hwinfo
and fdisk -l
mount /dev/fd0 /mnt hwinfo >/mnt/info1.txt fdisk -l >>/mnt/info1.txt umount /mnt
The output will not be displayed on the screen, but written to the file
info1.txt
on the floppy disk. The output of the second command
will be attached to that of the first.
/var/log/boot.msg
mount /dev/fd0 /mnt cat /var/log/boot.msg >/mnt/info2.txt umount /mnt
init 0
