odd stuff
- data backups
- This item has been moved to the bash page. The backup-manager
script is updated recently to use optional exclude list
files (rsync --exclude-from=... option) so that frequent
backups are not cluttered with automagically generated
content.
- service partition
- For those boxen without a CDROM, a service partition is
a far faster alternative to a three or four floppy boot
sequence for OS maintenance.
- alternate slack-12.1 install boot method
- For troublesome hardware or just plain old machines, Kees
Theunissen wrote this post fairly recently. It is probably
easier than the service partition
method described above.
- The document also touches on another method, using sbootmgr
floppy disk from the slackware install CDROM.
