Wanna bring up a linux clone 
Brett Lee
=============================================================================


1.  get the clone cd
2.  get the boot disk
3.  get the root disk

insert the boot disk and type "rescue" at the LILO: prompt

replace the boot disk with the root disk when prompted.

at the root prompt (#) you may remove the floppy and insert a utility floppy

then:

make a partition with `/bin/fdisk`
  create a swap partition of 128M on /dev/hda1
  create a primary partition of xxxG on /dev/hda2

make a filesystem with `/bin/mke2fs -c /dev/hda2`

make some stuff
  mkdir /new
  mkdir /cdrom

mount some stuff
  mount /dev/hd? /cdrom
  mount /dev/hda2 /new

get ready
  cd /new

get set
  ls /cdrom

go
  gzip -d < /cdrom/THE_IMAGE.TGZ | tar xvf -

work on the filesystem
  mkdir /new/proc
  mkdir /new/var
  mkdir /new/var/run
  mkdir /new/var/log
  mkdir /new/var/adm  (suse only)

edit the fstab with pico or elvis
  set the swap partition to /dev/hda1
  set the root partition to /dev/hda1

insert the appropriate boot floppy (suse or red hat)

type exit and power cycle this bad boy

at the LILO: prompt, type `linux root=/dev/hda2` (or whatever)

if you booted this far, you just need to install Lilo

edit /etc/lilo.conf and confirm the correct location of the root drive, etc.

run `lilo` or `lilo -b /etc/lilo_alt.conf`
