Hello, fellow managers....
I am getting very very brave these days.
I am in the process of building a new OSF kernel on a large hard drive
which will then be dump|restored to a very small (.5G) optical disk. Here
is what I am planning to do, please let me know if there are things that
will bite me later.
1) dump|restore the current kernel (actually both / and /usr) to the hard
drive
2) install more of the optional subsets (realtime kernel and programming
subsets)
3) generate the new kernel
4) de-install the following OSF subsets
OSFBIN200, standard kernel objects
OSFBINCOM200, kernel header and common files
OSFHWBIN200, hardware kernel objects
OSFRTBIN200 &
OSFRTHWBIN200, newly installed realtime kernel objects
5) dump|restore the new kernle to the optical drive
I realize that any future kernel builds would require these subsets, but I am
planning on have the hard drive as a permenant 'master' of the o/s.
Have I missed anything and will this shoot me in the head later? (foot's been
blasted off long ago!) Has anyone had any experiences with this type of
environment/administration nightmare that I should be aware of?
As usual, I thank you in advance for any inputs.
Have a good day )
