| Keyword |
Explanation |
| RAMDISK_SIZE |
Size of the base ramdisk (default is 12 Mb, minimum is 8 Mb). |
| DEBUG |
If DEBUG=echo than no damage can be done at the system disks. Default
is empty string (or no debugging). |
| PATH |
The PATH will be used to search for executables to be included in the
RAM disks |
| ISOFS_DIR |
The temporary directory where all the necessary files will put aside
to burn on CDR. Default is /home/isofs |
| LINUX_KERNEL |
Location of the linux kernel (absolute path) which is usefull in case
you want to experiment with an alternative kernel instead of the running
kernel. By default the string is empty, which means mkCDrec will locate
and use the running kernel. |
| MKCDREC_DIR |
is the same as $basedir (do not change it) |
| CDREC_ISO_DIR |
The location where 'CDrec.iso' ISO9660 images will be made (default
is where you run make from). Default is "." |
| PROMPT_BOOT_FLOPPY |
To prompt to create also a boot 1.44 Mb floppy say "1" (no is "0").
Default is 0. |
| BOOT_FLOPPY_DENSITY |
High density (1.44 Mb) = HD. Extended density (2.88 Mb) = ED. For bigger
kernels such as Linux 2.4 it may be necessary to define ED. By defining
ED it will not be possible anymore to create a physical boot floppy (only
El Torito 2.88 Mb emulation on CD-ROM). Default is HD. |
| TAPE_DEV |
Fill in a no-rewinding tape device if
any (optional). Tape device can be one of the following formats:
/dev/nst0 (a local attachted SCSI tape drive)
remote_host:/dev/rmt/0mn (a remote tape drive)
remote_hosts:FILE (only useful if there is only 1 partition to backup)
|
| REMOTE_COMMAND |
Either rsh or ssh. Currently only used in combination with remote tape
handling. Default is rsh. |
| EXCLUDE_LIST |
List of directories which should be excluded during backup. Of course,
it also means they cannot be restored too. Default is /tmp. |
| SCSI_MODULES |
List of kernel modules which must be included on the ram disk. Be aware
that 'lsmod' is being used to build the list of modules, but this one is
rather for those which cannot be seen at make time, e.g. laptop with SCSI
card not in slot. |
| OTHER_MODULES |
Any other module which may be useful. May be empty. |
| MKDIR_LIST |
List of direcories which have to be made when ram disk is being filles
with files. Normally it should be OK to leave as it is. |
| ETC_FILES |
list of files which have to be copied to the ramdisks /etc directory |
| BINARIES |
list all executables of /bin, /usr/bin or /sbin which have to copied
to the ramdisk. Executables which are already included with BusyBox are
skipped. |
| LINKS |
list of symbolic links to be made on the ramdisk. |
| BURNCDR |
After making an ISO9660 image burn immediately a CDR (default is no). |
| CDRECORD |
cdrecord program to burn CDR |
| SCSIDEVICE |
SCSI address of CD-writer - use "cdrecord -scanbus" to fill in the
desired numbers. Default is "0,4,0" |
| WRITERSPEED |
The CD-writer speed (default 2). |
| MAXCDSIZE |
The capacity of the CDR (default 650000 Kb). |
| CMP_PROG |
The compress program used can be gzip or bzip2 (default is gzip). |
| CHECK_BAD_BLOCKS |
Should mkfs check for bad blocks before making the filesystems? The
"-c" option checks for bad blocks (default), emptry string doesn't. |
