I did exactly that -- when you emerge zfs, it gives you the create |
30 |
command, so you can tell by that the features it wants, but there |
31 |
seems to be no good reason to have a boot pool, I can afford the 1 or |
32 |
2 gig space. |
33 |
So back to my original question, I downloaded -- after a lot of |
34 |
trouble finding it -- the Ubuntu 21.04 live server as they call it, |
35 |
but I cannot find any documentation as to how to use it as a rescue |
36 |
disk -- seems to be just an install disk. Am I missing something |
37 |
here? |

Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is: |
41 |
How do |
42 |
you spend it? |
