this is true but I would like to be able to do a restore with just a network connection and a dump file on a remote machine... I have compiled my MINI kernel with the options MFS and MFS_ROOT and the kernel is smaller than 1.4M but I am not sure what the next step is... How do I make the boot disk and the "virtual file system" (vconfig??) on the mfsroot??? sorry for the bother.. and thanks for the previous reply..
