Full Discussion: creating a boot CD (iso file) to debian5
Operating Systems Linux Debian creating a boot CD (iso file) to debian5 Post 302490786 by iga3725 on Tuesday 25th of January 2011 04:34:34 PM

Yes, but a simple question comes to mi mind, why debian doesn't have mkbotdisk similar command. I couldn't find mkbootdisk source (tar file) to try to compile it on debian. Also, I'm looking for why debian doesn't have a similar command? Debian has mkboot but it only support floppies, Nowadays there're not floppies devices on servers.
Don't know if you understand me. With a similar command as mkbootdisk you do nothing but insert your CD and boot your server. Everything runs as always. It simply saves your live.
Thanks.

DPATCH-CONVERT_DIFFGZ(1)				      General Commands Manual					  DPATCH-CONVERT_DIFFGZ(1)

NAME

       dpatch-convert-diffgz - Convert a debian .diff.gz to a dpatch file

SYNOPSIS

       dpatch-convert-diffgz patchno patchname
       dpatch-convert-diffgz patchno_patchname

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual page documents briefly the dpatch-convert-diffgz command which simply generates a dpatch file from an existing Debian .diff.gz
       file.

       It does so, by building the sources with dpkg-buildpackage, and operating on the resulting Debian .diff.gz.

WARNING

       dpatch is deprecated, please switch to the `3.0 (quilt)' Debian source package  format  instead.  See  http://wiki.debian.org/Projects/Deb-
       Src3.0#FAQ for a short guide on how to do it.

SEE ALSO

       dpatch(1), dpatch(7), dpatch.make(7), dpatch-edit-patch(1), dpatch-list-patch(1)
