bionic (1) bootcdflopcp.1.gz

NAME

       bootcdflopcp - copy changes made after booting from bootcd to floppy

SYNOPSIS

       bootcdflopcp [-v] [-d <device>]

DESCRIPTION

       bootcdflopcp will copy changes made in ram to the floppy disk.  bootcdflopcp will be available as soon as
       your system is running from cd.  The floppy has to have a filesystem already. (See  mke2fs  or  mformat).
       If  you  have to boot from floppy, because your cd-drive or bios does not support to boot from cd a msdos
       filesystem is used to run syslinux.  When bootcdflopcp is called it searches for differences between  RAM
       and  CD.   For  each  different  file, it checks if it is listed in the files ignore, remove or change on
       floppy. If it is listed in change it will be saved to change.tgz on floppy. If it is listed in remove the
       file  will be removed from ram next boot time. If it is listed in ignore it will be ignored. If it is not
       listed at all you will be interactively asked what to do.

OPTIONS

       -v  The option "-v" (verbose) adds messages on running.

       -d <device>
           Use another device instead of "/dev/fd0" to save changes.
