This is the only problem with the KNOPPIX approach that really bothers me. But since my unlisted problem #0 with bacula-rescue was the lack of packaging for Debian/Ubuntu, I was preparing myself to become a maintainer of the bacula-rescue .deb. The alternative -- tracking KNOPPIX dev to (a) try and shoehorn in more-current bacula-fd or (b) build and distrib my own more-current static bacula-fd -- is much more attractive to me :-D > Bacula rescue has a lot over Knoppix for doing disaster recovery. > Read the Disaster Recovery chapter of the development manual -- it I've been living in that chapter the past two weeks, don't recall seeing anything explicit to that effect.

Let KNOPPIX, or MORPHIX or whateverix get me to a bash prompt and then I'll handle getting bacula-fd running. KNOPPIX will boot the majority of boxes out there, so I'll begin my Bacula work with the presumption that I can boot and go from there. > Yes, of course.
