In particular: - Getting the partition information and fstab stuff (trivial) - Creating the right MINI kernel and building the disaster disk - Whatever else seems useful One of the things I'd like to do is to see if I can automate the production of a MINI kernel config file, based on either the dmesg output or the original kernel config file. So what *does not* belong in a MINI kernel? I'll start sniffing around, but some feedback would be helpful.
