You might recall my trying to rescue an old system with 64 megs of RAM in early February. For those who might not recall, the problem here was that I couldn't find any modern rescue livecd that would boot on a pentium 133 MHz with 64 megs of RAM. I've finally gotten around to dealing with that machine, and have ended up deciding to get rid of that old machine. As for my doubletalk pc, I've moved to a more modern box with one ISA slot. I was initially hesitant to use this machine, since I suspected it of having CPU/RAM issues. However all my testing indicates no problems, and it's been running fine so far. I think I was simply asking too much of that box in its previous role. Going back to the old box with 64 megs of RAM though, the story doesn't end here. I wanted to see if I could backup that machine, and restore it onto the new box, without pulling out drives (I have a particular reason for not wanting to pull the hd from that old box). I tried booting systemrescuecd 0.2.19 on that system, and was able to get that version booted up. I then used partition image to backup that old system's drive, and that was that. I should in theory have been able to chroot using sysresccd 0.2.19 into the install on that hd, and fix my problems from there. Thanks again to those of you who provided suggestions while I was attempting to solve this problem.
