Making changes permanent/restorable...

I'm probably being dense, but once I get customization done, what is the best way to make it "restore-able"?
ie copy /etc from -aufs to -generic? Or am I going about this all wrong?

Perfect! I had tarred up /etc and then booted the generic kernel and untarred (I mistakenly went with my gut instinct on this). It was not happy about mounting /dev/sd1... Will knock this out this morning.

Try pressing Ctrl-Alt-F7 when it finishes booting. That's where the root terminal will be, when you boot in single mode.

I get a root prompt... The problem is that keystrokes do not echo to the screen. Wondering if I have no keymap set. Typing blind is not a huge deal but something is not right...
