can you try this against mondo-rescue 2.03?
i tried 2.02 from the tgz last night, it has all kinds of issues with missing pieces in mindi, bad arguments to umount, etc. i will try 2.03 to see it's any better.
mondo 2.03 fails, the error message in MA.log.gz is mkisofs: Uh oh, I cant find the boot image 'image/mindi-bootroot.2880.img'!
are you still running it as: mondoarchive -Oi -s650m -E "/tmp /usr/portage/distfiles" -F -o -k FAILSAFE Thanks, Jay
Basically yes. I'm using "-s4000m" in this case because I'm trying to make a bootable DVD. I put up an entry under "Installation/Setup Issues" on forum.mondorescue.org a few days ago, haven't gotten any responses yet.
mondo-rescue is masked and pending removal from the portage tree.
