Title: Cacko: How To Install Altboot ?
Post by: ldrolez on August 31, 2006, 03:47:59 am

Hi !
I'd like to install 'altboot' in my cacko 1.23, to allow
booting from SD or CF, but I can't because /sbin is read
only...

Is there a trick to modify the files in /sbin ?
Cheers,
   Ludovic.

Yep, the trick is to remount / read-write.

Code: [Select]

mount -o remount,rw / will do the trick

Once you reboot it will go back to read-only

thanks for the hint !
Anyway it does not seem easy to install altboot in cacko:
1- wc, tr are in /usr instead of /bin, but /usr is not mounted :-(
2- altboot cannot find /etc/altboot-*.conf because /etc seems to be overwritten

For 1, I can copy the missing binaries, but how much space left is there
on / ?
And for 2, how can I access the original /etc, before it gets replaced
by a link to /home/etc ??
