Making changes permanent/restorable...

pyperdown:
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?

urkomasse:
I was actually doing this yesterday. Here is the info:

pyperdown:
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.

pyperdown:
interestingly, there was no keyboard echo to the screen...But it appeared to work.  Will have to try out the restore and see

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