What is it?
===========

This is 'reinstall' - a simple hack for creating images of a windows
installation and restoring it fast and easily.


Setting up 'reinstall'
======================

Windows Install: sda1
Data partition: sda2

Image directory: sda2:system/sda1-image/
(must exist already)

..change the scripts for other partitions and/or image directory.


* Create the 'reinstall' user:

# useradd -c reinstall -m -u 0 -g 0 -s /home/reinstall/run.sh reinstall
# echo "reinstall:" | chpasswd -e

* Copy the files to /home/reinstall/ (or checkout the svn there)

# cp * /home/reinstall/

* Change the login screen on vc1 (optional)

change the getty entry for vc1 in /etc/inittab to something like:
1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -L -f /home/reinstall/issue.vc1 38400 vc/1 linux

* Create the /etc/fstab entries

/dev/sda1       /mnt/sda1       auto    noauto          0 0
/dev/sda2       /mnt/sda2       auto    defaults        0 0

* Compile 'statuscat'

# cd /home/reinstall/
# gcc -Os -Wall -o statuscat statuscat.c

* Create the image

# cd /home/reinstall/
# ./makeimage.sh

* Restore image

Just log in as 'reinstall' and type 'yes'.
