No need, there's lots of distros like that already. There's LNX-BBC, tomsrtbt, the Slackware installation floppy...
Can anyone make knoppix linux remaster that would include only
knoppix 2 option - text mode console. That one would be really easy to download.
Also it would be nice to create text only or some small remaster that would
be used for backup restore windows.
something with like ghost.
Or create something like fdisk menu or even ddruid text menu (in RedHat).
Commands could be simple as:
<select type>
backup/restore
backup:
<select source partition>
mount /dev/hda1
<select source dirs>
(maybe something offerd by default?)
Documents\ and\ Settings/*
Program\ Files/*
winnt/*
(also somehow files from c:\ (sys bat com) should be added to c:\root and added to zip or somehow else.)
<select destination partition >
/dev/hda1
<select destination file>
/backup/backupwin.zip
mount paritions if not already mounted
executing
zip -9 -r /mnt/hda1/winnt /mnt/hda1/winnt /mnt/hda1/Documents\ and\ Settings /mnt/hda1/
unmount partitions
restore:
<select source parition>
mnt /dev/hda1
<select source file(for restore)>
/backup/backupwin.zip
<select destination partition >
/dev/hda1
<select target dir>
/
Delete previos Program files , Documents winnt ant c:\ root files or move to some other dir.
mount paritions if not already mounted
executing
unzip /mnt/hda1/backup/backup.zip -d /mnt/hda1/
unmount partitions
There is small thing of writing on ntfs partitions.
Also profiles could be offered or some *simple* config files for backup/restore.
I do not know how to do this so do not say: "Great. Why don't you do that".
