Hey I just checked in the first part of "configuration on USB device". You can now store your etc.tar.bz2 + patches on the root of a FAT formatted USB device. NOTE: save-config doesn't support it yet, you have to do it by hand. cya Heiko |

The USB memory stick I ordered just arrived today! :-) > NOTE: save-config doesn't support it yet, you have to do it by hand. How is the script going to know if it should save to floppy or USB? - BS |

The USB memory stick I ordered just arrived today! :-) I don't know when I try to put a entire DL on a USB stick. With a bit luck I try it this weekend. >>NOTE: save-config doesn't support it yet, you have to do it by hand. > > > How is the script going to know if it should save to floppy or USB? I didn't decide this yet, so far I probably go this road: check for floppy, if not present check for USB memory device. if etc.tar.bz2 found, save otherwise offer to create new config, but list all available config storage devices and make user select one cya Heiko |

I'll be happy to just have the config on USB stick. But I bought one little stick for the config, and one big stick for the whole thing. I can do both. :-) > >>NOTE: save-config doesn't support it yet, you have to do it by hand. > > > > How is the script going to know if it should save to floppy or USB? > > I didn't decide this yet, so far I probably go this road: > check for floppy, if not present check for USB memory device. I would recommend checking for USB first. Most computers have a floppy drive, and it will waste too much time to grind the floppy before looking for the USB device. Also, you can probably test if a USB stick exists in /proc somehow. > if etc.tar.bz2 found, save > otherwise offer to create new config, but list all available config > storage devices and make user select one An optional parameter on save-config so we can specify, would be good. - BS |
