Title: Making changes permanent/restorable...
Post by: pyperdown on November 26, 2012, 02:48:17 PM

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.

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

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...
