    Creating a recovery boot diskette

    Hello All, I had recently survived a minor creash of the Salck 10.1 box. But I would like to create a recovery boot diskette, hopefully with LILO and MBR on it. If anyone would be able to tell me what command would create a recovery boot diskette, I would really apreciate it.

    Thank you.

    Dmitry.

    Are you sure you need one?

    If I remember correctly, you can use the install CD to boot back right back into your Slack install with:

    Code:
    linux root=/dev/hdxx ro noinitrd
    (substituting your drive info for the xx, such as hda3)

    I find a copy of this useful sometimes too

    spit, its gentoo based, I'm forced to use gentoo at work argh, but its only 100MB, and the more tools the better I say.
