root1440.bin is not included explicitly. [09:19:30 bf]$ tar ztf bf-common.tar.gz common/ common/base2_2.tgz common/drivers.tgz And the contents of common/base2_2.tgz is what seems to me a minimal debian system: there is all the root directory tree with with programs in it. After untaring it I got: [09:23:26 common]$ ls base2_2.tgz boot dev etc home lib proc sbin usr bin cdrom drivers.tgz floppy initrd mnt root tmp var [09:23:28 common]$ ls boot/ boot.b chain.b mbr.b os2_d.b.preserved boot.b.preserved chain.b.preserved os2_d.b [09:23:52 common]$ ls bin ae dd fgrep ls ping setserial true arch df grep mkdir ping6 sh umount bash dir gunzip mknod ps sleep uname cat dmesg gzip mktemp pwd stty uncompress chgrp dnsdomainname hostname more rbash su vdir chmod echo kill mount rm sync zcat chown egrep ln mv rmdir tar cp false loadkeys netstat run-parts tempfile date fdflush login pidof sed touch and so on. What is this bf-common.tar.gz anyway? Is it a file from which the boot disks are created by dividing it into the required size?
