Yard Documentation
November, 1998
Yard is a suite of Perl programs for making customized rescue disks for
Linux. It exploits the compressed ramdisk feature of 1.3.48+ kernels.
With this feature you can get a standard kernel image plus about 2.4
meg of utilities on a single floppy. You specify the set of files you
want on the disk, and Yard does extensive checking of the files to
increase chances that the rescue disk will work. A 2-disk option is
available if one isn't enough. Yard can now be used either with or
without Lilo.
