Roger that. |

Here's an idea, since it's a minimal firewall, that I'm currently using, |
| 12 |
and scp works. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
dd over ssh everything onto a 8G Compact Flash card that is plugged |
| 15 |
into another system and then install the CF card into an ide-to-cf socket |
| 16 |
reboot and then emerge-sync? think this will work? |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
The partions are simple on the existing firewall: |
| 20 |
/dev/hda3 18G 2.1G 16G 12% / |
| 21 |
udev 125M 2.6M 123M 3% /dev |
| 22 |
shm 125M 0 125M 0% /dev/shm |
| 23 |
/dev/hda1 393M 46M 347M 12% /boot |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Next format the CF card similar to the above scheme. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |

Then install CF disk into similar arch machine (amd k6)and boot it |
| 31 |
up. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Since I have quite a few of these machine and several friends |
| 34 |
running on similar firewalls, it's time I start using CF drvies |
| 35 |
and develop a procedure to replicate the firewalls, without |
| 36 |
3 days of install, configuring and compiling. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Do you think this will work? |
| 39 |
Did I miss any steps? |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
I do not want to reboot until I get an second firewall working..... |
