.TH BOOTCD 1 "Wed Feb 23 00:00:00 EET 2000" "" "bootcd utils"
.SH NAME
bootcdwrite \- build a bootcd image from a running system
.SH SYNOPSIS
.\" The general command line
.B bootcdwrite [-s] [-c <config_directory>] [-only_floppy]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B bootcdwrite
is used to write a standard Linux Installation to cd. The Installation
must fit on one CD. It is possible to copy a system mounted per
NFS to a local CD writer. It is also possible to only create an image
of the CD for later use.
It is important that the kernel can access the cdrom on the system, where
you want to boot from the CD, without having to load any modules. (Because to
load modules from CD, the kernel must have access to CD before). If this
is not the case you have first to create a new kernel with CD-support
built in.
If something goes wrong with bootcdwrite, the user will be given the chance
to correct the problem. bootcdwrite starts many commands. If a command exits
with an exit code != 0, or if a command produces unknown output on stdout or
stderr, the command and the output will be shown to the user.
He gets the option to exit, retry the failed command, or to ignore the failed
command.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B \-s
means silent and canbe used to to disable interactive questions and to try to ignore errors.
.TP
.B \-c config_directory
change the default path of the directory including the configuration (/etc/bootcd).
.TP
.B \-only_floppy
only a bootfloppy (to boot an existing bootcd) has to be created.
.TP
Currently no other options can be specified on command line. All configuration
has to be done in the config files.
.SH FILES
.TP
.I /etc/bootcd/bootcdwrite.conf
Configuration for bootcdwrite.
.TP
.I /var/spool/bootcd/
Here the image of the CD which will be created will be stored temporarily
by bootcdwrite. WARNING - You need a lot of disk-space here. You can change
this location with variable VAR in bootcdwrite.conf.
