I wonder if the device containing this disk image could be dumped (dd) to a working device like /dev/ram0, wherein you could mount that with whatever file system it is and poke in there with your prefered kernel. I know some people have built speakup-enabled parted disks before. -----Original Message----- From: Nick Gawronski [mailto:nick6@xxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, October 11, 2001 2:06 PM To: speakup at braille.uwo.ca Subject: rescue and partitioning root disks Hi, Let me tell you what I am wanting to do. I would like to re size my linux partition so I can make another partition to use as a backup partition. My problem is that I can't find a disk with the utilitys gnu parted and basic rescue disk tools because all of the boot disk images have the kernel at the start of the image and it does not allow me to mount it and the kernel does not have speakup in it. I need just a root disk with no kernel so I can use my own speakup kernel to re partition my disk. Thanks in advance. bye -- http://users2.ev1.net/~nick6 Home of Chihuahua Radio, the internet radio station that I run. _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup at braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
