NAME¶
bootcd* - utils to run diskless systems from cd
DESCRIPTION¶
With bootcd you can copy your running Debian System on CD with the
command bootcdwrite. If your system has no CD-Writer you can build a bootcd
via NFS on a remote System with CD-Writer or you can only create an ISO image.
When you run your system from CD you do not need any disks. All changes will
be done in ram. To reuse this changes at next boot time you can save them on
FLOPPY with the command bootcdflopcp. If booting from your CD-drive is not
supported, booting from FLOPPY is possible. It is possible to install a new
system from the running CD with the command bootcd2disk. Bootcd2disk can also
find a target disk, format it and make it bootable automatically.
bootcd is now easier to install (only one package). The sandard
system runs on i386 or amd64. Like all Debian standard Kernels a initrd is
used by bootcd as default now.
