Hi,

Against Tom's general recommendations, we've decided to implement tomsrtbt 
on a hard drive (strictly as a rescue system rather than as a working 
system)  - it's an excellent tool that is very close to what we need and 
it seems like more work to hack down Gentoo or build a small LFS; I've 
been reading the mailing list archive to solve some of our customization 
needs.  I do have a few questions though that aren't really answered:

1 -> Moving to hard disk:  Tom has answered this a few times, but not 
recently (and I suspect there have been changes since then): Copy 
everything (except proc) from a booted floppy to disk, make changes to 
inittab, fstab, rc.S, rc.M, settings.s and rc.custom (what changes 
specifically to these files?).  Anything else?

2 -> Boot loader: We're already using Grub (for some important reasons we 
cannot switch to Lilo)  - any advice from anyone on how-to configure?

3 -> lib.so.6: Needed  - just a matter of copying one to /lib?

4 -> Bash: Needed (using rbash, no equivalent in ash) - Just a matter of 
changing /etc/passwd to root /bin/bash?


Thanks a bunch,

Jim
