Tue Dec 4 11:00:00 2001 Bruno Cornec 1.31-1 - Updated to 1.31 - turned on \'-Wall\' to find cruft; found lots of it; cleaned it up - exclude each device\'s lost+found directory - mountlist editor now permits advanced editing of RAID devices - fixed a silly bug that was causing freeze-up on <1 percent of systems; if biggielist was empty then sometimes mondo-archive would freeze when backing up big files (cos there weren\'t any *g *) - partition and set type in 2-stage process (was 1-stage) - cleaned up Compare Mode\'s logging a bit, to make it more legible - don\'t report changed archives as \'errors\' but as \'differences\' - exclude ext3\'s .journal files from backup (yes, this time I really do) - \'--my-kernel SUCKS\' has been replaced with \'--my-kernel FAILSAFE\' - softlink mondo-restore to /usr/bin/ before calling Mindi, so that Mindi can pick up mondo-restore and its depdendencies easily - copy mondo-restore to Mondo\'s temp dir before calling Mindi - don\'t try to compress MP3\'s, MPG\'s, WMV\'s or RA\'s - cleaned up mondo-newt.c; alphabetized the subroutines; moved some tools from there to mondo-tools.c - mondo-tarme and mondo-restore are now compiled as dynamic executables; I have amended install.sh and mondo-1.31.spec accordingly - now make boot/data floppies at end of backup, not beginning - backup in alphabetical order now, not reverse-alpha - if Compare Mode reports changed files /var/ * and /etc/mtab only then tell the user their archives are good despite the differneces - cut back on excessively verbose logging at backup-time - when vacuum-packing a partition, describe it as \"(max size)\", not \"(0 MB)\" - if swap is already mounted, don\'t abort: just say, \'swap already mounted\' - when unmounting all devices, don\'t try to unmount something if it\'s not even mounted; if it\'s not mounted, say so but don\'t try to unmount it: you\'ll just end up looking very silly :)
Wed Nov 28 11:00:00 2001 Bruno Cornec 1.30-1 - Updated to 1.30 - I have reorganized the C code, sorted the subroutines alphabetically, and re-jigged Mondo\'s installation routines (inc. the RPM spec file) to reflect the changes - check for mondo-restore\'s presence; if absent then abort & ask user to check to see if Mondo was installed properly - always exclude /var/log/pacct from backup - optimal set size is now 24MB - install.sh will abort w/error if compilation of mondo- * fails - after creating the mountlist, put a copy in Mondo\'s tmp directory - each ext3 filesystem has a .journal file in its base directory; Mondo will now exclude each of these journal files automatically - use the archived copy of LILO, not the copy from the restore-time ramdisk, to configure the MBR - size_of_file() now returns long long, not long - find mondo-archive and set MONDO_PATH accordingly - scratchdir is /home/mondo.scratch by default - at backup-time, run mondo-restore in test mode to make sure that the executable is sane & will run OK at restore-time
Wed Nov 14 11:00:00 2001 Bruno Cornec 1.19-1 - Updated to 1.19 - tested on Linux-Mandrake 8.0 and Red Hat 7.2; backup,wipe,restore went OK - fixed a bug in is_this_device_mounted() - at restore-time, always check for presence of decompressor; abort if notfound - run \'chmod -r 1777 /mnt/RESTORING/tmp\' after restoring - fixed bugs in Compare Mode:- - missing else{} - erroneous \'cannot add archive\' error; res+=retval should have read retval+=res (Tony Kim) - use \'umount /mnt/cdrom\' instead of \'umount /dev/cdrom\', to make it compatible with busybox\'s umount command - fixed bug in mondo-archive which stopped Mondo from pausing to retry if the CD/ISO fails the verification phase - modified compare_all_tarballs() in mondo-restore.c - if running interactively then offer to modify fstab and lilo.conf if user says s/he has modified the mountlist - if mondo-tarme segfaults (as it does, on a _very_ few systems) then Mondo picks up on the fact & reports it - when restoring, create /mnt/RESTORING/tmp before _and_ after restoring data, just in case it is necessary; also set permissions okay - C code is now compiled \'O0\' (without optimizations) - each CD\'s slices were being listed to screen; now, piped to /dev/null
Sun Oct 28 11:00:00 2001 Bruno Cornec 1.18-1 - Updated to 1.18 - changed minor error in documentation (mondo-archive\'s --help output) - improved Mondo\'s compare phase for tape users
Sat Oct 20 12:00:00 2001 Bruno Cornec 1.17-1 - Updated to 1.17 - the deprecated scripts now work with LZO - if mondo-restore cannot mount all devices, it will _unmount_ whatever it did mount, before it returns an error - works with Red Hat 6.2 and 2.2.19 kernel - cosmetic change to output (no more \'burning first/last CD\' msgs) - abort if user uses \'--use-lzo\' but doesn\'t install LZO(P) first - changed --differential\'s \\( and \\) to ( and ) <-- thanks, Michael Moellney) - added Marcus Oberhumer\'s LZO to Mindi and Mondo; use \'--use-lzo\' switch to activate this groovy new compression algorithm; it is not as efficient as bzip2 but it is can take up to 50 percent less time than bzip2 to compress data - incorporated Bruno Cornec\'s \"--cd-recovery\" patch - at restore-time, set biggiefiles to +x - set optimal fileset size to 16MB (was 8MB) - don\'t report non-existent differences/errors between archives and filesystem - fixed bug in --differential switch (Michael Moellney) - scripts will no longer function unless gawk and printf are included in Mindi\'s deplist.txt; add them if you want to use the scripts
Wed Oct 10 12:00:00 2001 Bruno Cornec 1.16-1 - Updated to 1.16 - default scratchdir is `pwd`/mondo.scratch.$$ (was mondo.scratch) - when asking user to send me a log file, warn them that the log file may contain information which they do not want me to see but point out that I cannot help much unless I have a copy of their log file - when comparing to or restoring from tape, only update the progree form if/when I\'ve just restored files; otherwise, I would screw up the time est.s - increase afio\'s block count from 256 to 1024 when restoring from tape - plays nicely with devfs-enabled kernels and distros - when restoring or comparing, track progress by the archive# (N out of M), not by the file#; the former is more reliable and useful than the latter - has been tested successfully with the following distros - Linux-Mandrake 8.1 and its 2.4.8, devfs-enabled stock kernel --- tape / CDR - Red Hat 7.1 and its 2.4.2 stock kernel --- tape / CDR - tape streamers are now supported; use the \'--write-tapes \' switch, e.g. --write-tapes /dev/st0 4096 - LVM support is stabilizing - when mounting/unmounting partitions to be restored, don\'t forget to mount/unmount the swap partitions - when zeroing a drive, use plain old C fopen/fputc/fclose, not \'dd\' - after restoring data and running LILO, unmount (as usual) and then run label-partitions-as-necessary, to set the ext2fs LABELs if it is appropriate - fixed bugs in selective restoration scripts and executable - fixed silly bug in hack-lilo; bug was triggered when I moved to Mandrake 8.1; bug caused \'/dev/fd0\' entry in lilo.conf to become corrupted - if user tries to make a bootable rescue CD with the \'--no-bkpath\' switch then politely direct them to Mindi :-)
Fri Sep 28 12:00:00 2001 Bruno Cornec 1.15-1 - Updated to 1.15 - serialized the call to mondo-filelistchop.c; helps to improve visual feedback (yeah, sounds weird but it\'s true) - the switches --differential and --exclude-paths should play nicely now - improved the logging a bit, esp. when ejecting or unmounting CD\'s - improved the visual feedback (specifically, the bar and percentage figures indicating time spent & remaining) - experimental LVM support - fixed \'cannot eject CD\' bug, which was caused by busybox\'s sync & umount - fixed mount-me to allow for mountlists with >1 spaces between columns - fixed documentation; param is --my-kernel , not kernel-path - fail if user runs mondo-archive _from CD_; this is for the user\'s protection - fixed silly bug in mount-me (a crucial line was disabled) - working on stablilo-me, hack-lilo and hack-fstab to make sure they work with the new, busybox-based Mindi v0.41 - Mindi v0.41 is very different from v0.40, internally anyway; so, I had to do a lot of testing to make sure Mondo would play nicely with the new Mindi
Tue Sep 18 12:00:00 2001 Bruno Cornec 1.14-1 - Updated to 1.14 - if verify is enabled then verify each CD/ISO after writing it - fixed a quasi-bug in mondo/mount-me; this script used \'sort +1\' which is not supported by busybox; I\'ve changed it to just plain old \'sort\' - Mondo now tells Mindi whether or not to use its stock kernel - fixed bug in \'biggify-me\' script; now, checksums will be verified - fixed bug in checksum comparison code (mondo-restore.c) - reimplemented \'--verify\' switch; now, user can verify ISO\'s or CD\'s against the live filesystem, just for \'belt and braces\' emotional security - improved the error-reporting at restore-time (if tarball cannot be accessed) - if user does not specify CD-R(W) drive\'s speed or device then Mondo will try to locate the drive and will assume 4x speed - user may now type \'edit-mountlist\' after booting, if they want to edit the mountlist without risking accidentally wiping their hard disks - fixed a few silly typos in the error messages in mondo-tarme - updated the FAQ - added code to verify ISO images - used \'blank=fast\' instead of \'-blank fast\' for backward-compatibility with older versions of cdrecord - if nonzero value returned by Mondo, then Mondo creates a mondo.err.$$.tgz tarball containing log files & stuff, which it tells the user to e-mail me - when debugging, don\'t pause before running mondo-tarme; just run it - automatically exclude any file including \'/vmmhiber.w9x\' in its pathname - added Minix support (although I doubt anyone needs it) - ported mondo-tarme to C - prettier interface at run-time (backup), giving better feedback - obviates a mysterious, intermittent bug in bash itself - shows \' percent done\' when burning CD - afio now has a 12MB FIFO buffer (was 16MB) - cdrecord now has a 20MB FIFO buffer (was 24MB) - wipe [CD]/usr/share/mondo, as well as floppy images, if CD #2 or later - up to 19 CD\'s may be created now - fixed the \'stderr.txt not found\' loop error in mondo-tarme.c - fixed the weird \'segfault on finish() after archiving\' bug - modularized the install.sh and mondo-1.14-x.i386.rpm compilation sections
Sat Sep 1 12:00:00 2001 Bruno Cornec 1.13-1 - Updated to 1.13 - fixed some compiler warnings in mondo-newt.c; rearranged some code - mondo-tarme now uses -M 16m -t 4k in its call to afio, to improve performance - fixed mondo-restore.c\'s mkreiserfs call; ditto, prep-me\'s mkreiserfs call - fixed mondo-restore.c\'s compare_a_biggiefile() subroutine, which would generate erroneous error messages - fixed mondo-archive.c\'s restore_a_biggiefile() and restore_all_biggiefiles() subroutines; I can\'t get them to break but others can, so I\'ve streamlined the code to make them easier to debug and in theory more stable too - fixed \'hack-fstab\' to make sure that non-LABELed partitions are correctly moved/changed, etc. - fixed the \'space in big filename\' bug (I think) - make Interactive Mode sort the mountlist (by partition size) before creating the dirs and mounting the partitions to them - fixed a slew of bugs related to Red Hat\'s LABEL= extensions - cleaned up mondo-restore.c and mondo-newt.c; replaced lots of arbitrary limits and lengths with a small number of #define\'s - added some sample RAID0/1/5 raidtab (config) files to restore-scripts.tgz, which will be restored to the ramdisk\'s /etc dir when the user boots from the CD; this will only take up an extra 50K or so & will help any user who is moving from non-RAID to RAID - changed FIFO size to 20MB - only use the VFAT kludge on /dev/hda1 or /dev/sda1; otherwise, even if the partition type is VFAT, do a regular mkfs.vfat - if mkfs.vfat doesn\'t exist, use mkfs.dos - only try to add \'LABEL=\' to ext2 and ext3 partitions - moved a bunch of scripts from Mindi\'s rootfs.tgz to our restore-scripts.tgz - fixed bugs in mondo-restore.c, which would sometimes just sit there when trying to compare or restore big files that were spread across CD\'s - Interactive Mode goes straight to \'mondo-restore --interactive\' now, i.e. the user doesn\'t have to choose Interactive once at boot and once within mondo-restore - better post-run clean-up - improved mondo-restore.c\'s error-reporting a little bit - stablilo-me (the script) now supports Red Hat\'s \"LABEL=\" extensions to /etc/fstab, via the script, \'label-partitions-as-necessary\' - added a user-friendly mountlist editor to mondo-restore.c - added lots of sanity-checking to mountlist editor

Sun Aug 12 12:00:00 2001 Bruno Cornec 1.10-1 - Updated to 1.10 - changed cdrecord\'s FIFO size back to 4MB - added -pad -sort to the call to mkisofs - stop saying, \"N files differ so far\" after comparing each tarball - updated the FAQ, to remind users that they can boot from floppy images if their kernel does not have the right support of CD-ROM\'s, filesystems, etc. - erroneous error-reporting by /mondo/biggify-me; fixed (David Granz) - don\'t estimate the time remaining unless >20 sets processed already - default set size (uncompressed) is now 8MB (was 12MB); when 8MB, seems to run more smoothly & a little quicker, too, at restore-time - chmod 1777 /mnt/RESTORING/tmp after restoring/creating /tmp - dropped mondo-askme.c; using regular \'read\' instead - mondo-restore.c uses newt instead of ncurses; much prettier that way - cdrecord now uses a 16MB FIFO buffer (was 8MB) - fixed floating point error in mondo-restore (when showing progress) - when mondo-restore is called without params (e.g. by Interactive Mode), it lets the user choose between nuke, interactive or compare (or abort) - updated the FAQ - working on Cuckoo Mode...
Thu Aug 2 12:00:00 2001 Bruno Cornec 1.09-1 - Updated to 1.09 - default compression level is now 3 (was 2) - retry/fail/abort loop bug fixed - calls mindi with \"--custom $TMP $scratchdir/images\" to force mindi to use my temp dir and to put the images in my \'images\' folder
Sat Jul 28 12:00:00 2001 Bruno Cornec 1.08-1 - Updated to 1.08 - offer to Retry/Fail/Abort if an error occurs when Mondo tries to burn a CD-R - warn if kernel is 2.4.[0-5] (could have buggy loopfs code) - tested with RAID-5 --- works fine :-)
Sun Jul 22 12:00:00 2001 Bruno Cornec 1.07-1 - Updated to 1.07 - fixed cosmetic mistake in an error msg in mondo-tarme (\'continue\'-related) - hack-fstab now uses \"defaults 0 0\" instead of \"default 1 3\" when making a new entry in /etc/fstab - /mondo/restore-me always makes /mnt/RESTORING/tmp; so does mondo-restore.c - cosmetic changes to mondo-restore.c\'s screen output - RAID-related enhancements to mondo-restore.c - RAID bkp/restore appears to be stable - it is possible to move from non-RAID to RAID by backing up, wiping, creating /etc/raidtab, modifying /tmp/mountlist.txt and then restoring - mondo-restore.c works well - the only weakness is that the kernel\'s messages are written to the current console, not to a separate console... HELP? :-) - updated README (esp. FAQ) and TODO - tested with Linux 2.4.7; works fine - mondo-1.07.spec and install.sh compile every C program with -lncurses, just in case some programs (besides mondo-restore.c) need the NCURSES library - mondo-restore.c is now compiled statically
Thu Jul 19 12:00:00 2001 Bruno Cornec 1.06-1 - Updated to 1.06 - now software-RAID compatible - install.sh only compiles mondo-restore.c once now - if scratchdir or isodir contain more than one path (each), abort - mondo-restore.c creates dummy partitions if the user starts the official etc/fstab table at /dev/hda7 or something; so, partitioning should work, even if the mountlist has some gaps - for each /dev/md * device in the mountlist, run raidstop before mkraid
Mon Jul 16 12:00:00 2001 Bruno Cornec 1.05-1 - Updated to 1.05 - patch from DoJ to make install.sh compile with -O2, not -O - cosmetic changes to the biggiefile-slicing code - fixed install.sh

Sat Jul 14 12:00:00 2001 Bruno Cornec 1.03-1 - Updated to 1.03 - looks for /etc/lilo.conf; aborts if it cannot locate it - abort if burning CD\'s & verify level>=2 (must be 1 or 0 if burning CD\'s) - catch errors in MakeIsoFS, if any - added \'mondo-restore.c\' - C program, to replace the old restore scripts - Mindi will incorporate it in the data disks, if it can find Mondo - Mindi will also incorporate the old restore scripts (from Mondo) just in case the new C program doesn\'t work - calls the script, \'stablilo-me\' to run LILO if desired - added \'restore-scripts.tgz\', which contains the /mondo scripts that used to live in Mindi; now, Mindi grabs them from here if necessary - cleared up Mode-related scripts & the executable to replace them - if mkisofs fails, ABORT, don\'t just warn - added \'--differential\' option, to backup the files changed during the last N days (N specified by user)
Sat Jul 7 12:00:00 2001 Bruno Cornec 1.02-1 - Updated to 1.02 - retract the CD tray after asking user to enter \'continue\' (PauseAndAskForCDR) - uses C program instead of bash loop for PauseAndAskForCDR; some bash versions go into an infinite loop for no reason; hopefully, outsourcing to C will help - when slicing, indicate progress (\"N slices...\") - when told to \'--burn-cds\', Mondo pipes mkisofs\'s output to cdrecord, instead of saving the ISO file to disk first; this change will save time and space (not in the Star Trek sense, however *smile *) - default set size (native) is now 12MB - copy /usr/share/mondo to correct directory within CD - all calls to gawk have been replaced with calls to awk - RPM and SRPM published - delete $TMP at end; don\'t just delete $TMP/ * - can accept multiple parameters in the \'--bkpath\' switch
Wed Jul 4 12:00:00 2001 Bruno Cornec 1.00-1 - Updated to 1.00 - thanks to recent changes to Mindi, Mondo is now compatible with the filesystem formats JFS, ext3, ReiserFS, XFS and ext2 (if your own kernel is) - CDs [2-N] do not have boot floppy images on them; only CD#1 does (although CDs [2-N] do have the El Torito boot image, just in case...) - modified the --burn-cds switch; now it takes 3rd param, \'cdrw\' (optional) to let you wipe and rewrite CDRWs instead of wasting CDRs ;-) - removed that PID thing; doesn\'t work; please don\'t run Mondo twice at once :) - removed that \"filenames contain \'|\'\" error & associated problems - got rid of \'UNSAFE\' warning/shortcut - removed --xerox-dev, --include-tarball, --skip-tildes, --ide-opt, --use-bzip2 - mondo-archive doesn\'t make/hack/edit mountlist anymore; that\'s Mindi\'s job - uses Mindi Linux to make boot disks & data disks based on your distro - boot&data stuff goes in $scratchdir/images now - bzip2 is used by default to compress archives - don\'t make MD5 checksums if verify_level==0 - when archiving, make N.tar.bz2 and cklist.txt (tarball+checksums) in parallel - at end of mondo-archive, remove scratchdir and TMP completely IF they were created by Mondo (e.g. /home/mondo.scratch or /home/tmp.mondo.12345) - fill CD/image up to 1MB less than its max size; was being filled up to about 8MB less than its max size, which wasted 8-10MB of storage space per disk
Thu Mar 15 11:00:00 2001 Bruno Cornec 0.99-1 - Updated to 0.99 - /proc and /tmp removed --- i.e. added to exclude list :) - Mondo now uses 2.4-series kernel and modules (Bruno Cornec) - minor typos fixed (Bruno Cornec) - older, restore-related fixes merged w/Bruce\'s work (Maciej Kulasa) - better RPM spec file (Bruno Cornec) - incorporated Mondo v0.977\'s restore scripts\' bugfixes (Maciej Kulasa)

Fri Sep 1 12:00:00 2000 Bruno Cornec 0.976-1 - Updated to 0.976 - technical changes - 12MB ramdisk - repackaged: now, Mondo comes in big tarball/RPM with all overhead-files - each Mondo CD has a 15MB administrative overhead; used to be 50-60MB - definitely 386-compatible now (RH 6.2 binaries) - Linux-Mandrake 7.1 (2.2.16) kernel w/ReiserFS & Supermount - modules.conf / conf.modules support (whichever you\'ve got) - user may include their own copies of modules, if Mondo doesn\'t come with the requisite modules already - extra facilities - ReiserFS support - \'--load-modules ...\' will allow you to force Mondo to load key modules at boot-time, e.g. aic7xxx for SCSI-only users - bugfixes - path-exclusion code (mondo-backup) - bogus \'flaws=1\' message has been eradicated - CDRW-finding code is now much better at finding the CDRW correctly - dummy burn mode is working again - fixed security hole (thanks, Matija); now, user will be warned if Mondo is configured to execute /tmp/mondo-tarme - changed lots of \'grep \" $string \"\' to \'grep -w \"$string\"\' (thanks, Matija)
Mon Jul 3 12:00:00 2000 Bruno Cornec 0.975-1 - Updated to 0.975 - made mondo-tarme use \'ask-me-a-question\' to pause for new, blank CD-Rs - don\'t deeply search isodir for ISO files to wipe: maxdepth should be 1 - 386-compatible kernel and modules (should be, anyway...) - applied Doug Nordwall\'s calc-disk-size patch to fix SCSI hdd size calc\'n bug - applied Michael Ralph Pape\'s SCSI (2nd floppy) patch - removed devdump from overhead-list - mkisofs no longer called with \'-quiet\' switch - changed \'--burn-cds\' format: now it\'s --burn-cds () - added \'-L\' to LILO\'s call, so that >8GB hard disks overcome 1024-blk limit - mondo-compare runs check-mountlist-sanity before mounting partitions - ramdisk is now 14MB
Fri Jun 16 12:00:00 2000 Bruno Cornec 0.972-1 - Updated to 0.972 - auto-archive, mondo-archive and mondo-tarme updated to make them more friendly towards mult-disk sets - if multiple CDRW drives, user is asked which mondo-archive should use

Sat Jun 3 12:00:00 2000 Bruno Cornec 0.965-1 - Updated to 0.965 - 2MB of space left empty at end of every CD (e.g. 650MB is only 648MB full) - Suzhe & Lonius\'s SmartBootManager (sbminst) is used instead of Win98\'s MBR - Mondo may now resize Windows-only backups when restoring - silly bugs in prep-me... fixed
Fri Jun 2 12:00:00 2000 Bruno Cornec 0.964-1 - Updated to 0.964 - VFAT partitions >8GB handled OK now - 2nd floppy (optionally) created for SCSI users <--- not working yet - better calc-disk-size algorithm (thanks, Doug Nordwall) - Mondo can now backup and restore Windows-only PCs! :-) - silly prep-me and format-and-kludge-vfat bugs fixed - \'resize hack\' retitled as \'vacuum-pack\'
Wed May 31 12:00:00 2000 Bruno Cornec 0.963-1 - Updated to 0.963 - ISO images are no longer padded - all currently-loaded modules are backed up to custom hboot.img & installed at restore-time before CD is accessed - \'--burn-cd \' switch added - \'--no-opt\' switch added; use it in the call to mondo-archive if you don\'t want IDE optimization when restoring - lots of work done on auto-archive - mondo-extras-1.5 created; excludes mondo-zfile but includes hlib.tar.bz2 - boot floppy image now includes kernel w/lots of SCSI stuff - slice * deleted (WipeArchives); was \'slices *\' (bug!) - restore scripts all use \'lastbit-me\' to find the \'X\' part of \'/dev/X\' device; this will make it easier to port Mondo to kernel 2.4.x - I cannot make SCSI-based CDROMs boot from Mondo CDs properly... but SCSI hard drives and ZIP drives should be handled ok from now on - with a little coaxing, Mondo will backup Windows-only PCs (as well as Lin/Win and Linux-only PCs)
Thu May 25 12:00:00 2000 Bruno Cornec 0.962-1 - Updated to 0.962 - silly bug in mondo-checksum fixed - stale tmp dirs are now definitely deleted (bug fixed) - \"Job is percent d complete. hh:ss to go.\" --- much better \'progress\' string - \'buffer\' is gone again :) thank goodness - only 1st ISO is padded; the rest aren\'t. - working on implementing an easy \'cdrecord\' shortcut-call-thingy - mondo-archive doesn\'t try to delete loopfs unless it exists - mondo-restore\'s \"hack-softlinks\" - silly bug ($1/ missing) fixed - boot floppy image now includes mkdir and rmdir - user may specify temp directory using \'--tempdir \' - mondo-archive now includes a copy of \'buffer\' for future use - Mondo will now archive and restore Linux AND LinWin systems ok. W00H00! :-)
Tue May 23 12:00:00 2000 Bruno Cornec 0.961-1 - Updated to 0.961 - mondo-checksum ignores files <2k in length - default compression level is 4 - default verify level is 2 - files <3k in size aren\'t compressed - filelist no longer includes bashbug, dosfsck or dir - bs-me is disabled in mondo-restore - fixed bug in \'hack-fstab\' which stopped processing fstab if blank line found
Mon May 22 12:00:00 2000 Bruno Cornec 0.960-1 - Updated to 0.960 - mondo-vfat-1.0 package released, to provide kludging for VFAT bootables - logfile now saved at /var/log/mondo-archive.log (not `pwd`/mondo-archive.log) - pid registered/checked _after_ command line processed... so you can do --help without being shouted at ;) - restore-me broken into 2 scripts: untar-me and biggify-me - restore-subroutine-me now renamed untar-subroutine-me - bzip2 decompression should work again ;) ... a missing \'-Z\' was added to the afio call, and the usr/lib/libbz * libraries are now included on CD ISOs - fixed hack-lilo to ignore blank lines - really ugly boot kludge has been implemented, using embleer files to make newly-formatted VFAT partitions bootable
