RE: [cobalt-users] [RaQ3i] OS Restore CD >> Catch-22?

["Shawn Crull" <shawn@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey Theo, here are the instructions from the ftp site for using the restore
cd... you can get them directly from ftp://ftp.nl.cobalt.com/pub/iso/  This
should help you.

<<start text>>

We use a separate ISO image per product.

The gzipped files (.gz) are the same ISO images that have been compressed
for faster downloads.

These ISO images fit on industry-standard 74 min (650 Mb) recordable cds.
The actual byte size of the file does not matter as it does not reflect the
proper capacity of the image.

To address a common misconception about these files (.iso), you have to
create
a CD from the image file. Making a cd that contains the file is not the same
as creating a Restore CD from it. Please refer to the manual of your
cd-burning software on "How to create a CD from an existing image file".

Other Notes
-----------

Item 1
------

ISO Images (only applicable to the following):
raq4i-feb2001.iso
raq4r-feb2001.iso

Description:
After the restore and going through the Setup Wizard, you may find that the
Virtual
Site Listing is unavailable. This is due to the fact that the postgresql
database
has not been started. All other functions of the GUI are still accessible.

Solution:
Either install the RaQ4_OSRCD_pgsql_fix.pkg (located in this same directory)
and reboot the system

OR

Telnet into your system as root, to perform the following:

cd /etc/rc.d/rc3.d
ln -s ../init.d/postgresql S85postgresql
../init.d/postgresql start
logout
