Anyone know of an easy to make and restore disk images
on peasea hardware?
I've got a few on-topic boxes that I want to use for projects, but I also
don't want to blow away the existing software as some of it is interesting
and hard-to-replace. Bonus points if the image is browsable after moving
but it must be able to restore to an identical state from basically the bare
metal. What I'm thinking of is a NetBSD boot disk with enough software in
the ramdisk to dd an image onto and off of an NFS mount, but before I start
in on it I was wondering if anyone else had a solution.
Hard drives are cheap. Go down to your local thrift store and buy an old
PC that is still relatively new (i.e. has a decent-sized IDE hard drive)
for $10-$20 and strip the hard drive from it.
