download the uwoody filesystem from http://people.debian.org/~andersee/
onto my dev machine
root_fs.i386.bz2 15-Aug-2004 01:22 19.9M
then
bunzip2 root_fs.i386.bz2
The next step was to boot the laptop (Compaq aero) with tomsrbt and set up
a plip connection them
mount plipserver:/uwoody -tnfs /mnt
then
dd if=/mnt/root_fs.i386 of=/dev/hda3
6 hours latter this was finished
I then tried booting it and it actually made some progress, I was expecting
a kernel panic because I hadn't copied a kernel over and the old lilo was
still there.
I restarted toms, and the plip connection
I mounted the new uwoody partition
mount /dev/ha3 -text2 /uwoody
and copied over a kernel.
It now booted but had several errors
I corrected etc/fstab
created a lilo.conf and reran /sbin/lilo
and ran depmod
Can't run resize2fs on a mounted file system.
Booted from the Slackware boot disks and resized my partition.
I now have 67000 1k blocks free!
But eth0 and less are missing :(
Now to get the networking going and get the toolchain going
