10.2, second cd is not bootable rescue, hai from pat
earlier with 10.1 i had the same problem trying it to boot (second cd- but 10.0 was bootable) for rescue operations, i guessed it was because of much packages,
so i just wrote pat to make the 2nd of 10.2 a bootable one(there is no gnome), this is the mail and reply for those who r interested Date: Sat, 27 Aug 2005 17:17:30 -0700 (PDT) From: "Patrick J.

Take care, Pat -------------------------- ****still 2nd cd is full of stuff :), means pat included much more things hi so i expect something new from pat for 10.2 what magic will b in 10.2 :D??? it would have been nice if it was bootable rescue cd, if possible a live cd hi;) would somebody tell me how to use the original (1st slack cd) cd as a rescue cd for rescue operations like boot to machine, or for chroot |
I guess this is what Pat calls progress..........I cancelled my subscription when 10.1 came out and CD2 was not a bootable live disk............I guess being sick last year kinda scrambled Pats grey matter, I'm not gonna vote for slack as LQ's "05" distro of the year..............

- boot the cd and choose your keymap, login as root (da ! :)) - i suppose /dev/hda1 is / (root) , /dev/hda2 is swap and the filesystem is reiserfs Code:
mkdir root that should do the work ;) you might also need to mount /proc but it's not always needed |
You can still use disc 1 as a live cd...
But, kde keeps growing more and more with every release, and i would not be suprised if disc 2 had just kde on it.(and barely didn't have enough space for a live cd) |

rescue cd
Not too long ago, I used the rescue cd from 10 or or 9.1 or 8.1 to get into a 10.1 system here.
Does this not work for other people? |
thanks cb951303 and Charred
hi CB951303 in ur method we have to make directories.....# mkdir root mkdir boot does all the thing extract to RAM (as live cd does) Quote:
hi charred Quote:
can i use a kernel made (suppose 2.6... in the /boot) or can i use the vmlinuz original which lie in the /boot?? instead of bare.i :confused: Quote:
actually i tried once with 10.0 2nd cd, but was not aware how to use so failed, but it booted and i could get into machine :0) being a strange distro, slack must need this facility, it is really wanted, or the debian people will point this as a negative point comparing them :( our distro must be full in all sence :rolleyes: SlaX could do the job, but wht abt one who doesnt have tht |
Keep in mind that the growth of the binary packages (usually) also implies a growth of the sources. Things like TeTeX and KDE grow significantly, so it is not odd that much more space is needed for the sources.
rkrishna: not to be offensive in any way, but I think it will help getting longer and and more useful answers via e-mail if you use correct spelling. I'd discard e-mails that use "u r 2 lazy" spelling. |

tetex is going big, now it uses tetex 3 it was not updating till 10.1 hi even without gnome the cds r full then may b some nice stufs r there in 10.2 and pat will make it a rescue cd bootable and but not a live cd wht about the Q in previous post :rolleyes: about the kernel Q,(bare.i and keenel form /boot) |
There won't be much more than you see in the changelogs. But hey, CD 1 already is a rescue CD ;). You can chroot with it.
