Yeah, I subscribed and attempted to email the list there. I think my timing
was bad. Ok, so one thing I'll try is to Install the base system, then
bacula-fd, restore the system, then attempt to reset the root passwd while
I'm SSH'd to the system before getting kicked out. Will see what that does.
But for the static-bacula-fd compiled with GZIP, I'd like to see if I can
fix that so I know bare-metal would be an option.
Thanks!
