Title: Question About Install.zaurus (snapshot)
Post by: Sequethin on September 07, 2005, 02:09:59 pm
In the following section:

cat rc.rofilesys | sed -e '/^LINUXFMT=ext3$/s/^/#/' \
         -e '/^#LINUXFMT=ext2$/s/^#//' > ext2
      diff -u rc.rofilesys ext2      # to double check
      cp rc.rofilesys rc.rofilesys.ext2
      cp ext2 rc.rofilesys

Wouldn't it make more sense to cp rc.rofilesys rc.rofilesys.ext3 since that's the version which is meant for the ext3 fs, where the "cp ext2 rc.rofilesys" replaces the ext3 version with the ext2 version?

Also shouldn't this piece:

"Linux will not be able to boot, and you will need to use the
   processes above to get to the point where Linux will mount them as
   ext2fs partitions:"

read "and you will need to use the processes below" as opposed to "above"?


I apologize if I'm misreading, but if I'm right then these could be helpful suggestions.
