[cobalt-users] Raq4 filesystem questions



Hello!

I'm having my RaQ4 restored to a factory fresh state today and I was
wondering if there is a way to generate an ISO image or images of the clean
install remotely via telnet so I can burn a copy of my machine here on my
dual-boot Win2000 Pro / RedHat 7.2 box?

Also, I figured out last night that the machine has 3 partitions, /, /var/,
and /home.  Is it good policy to install applications in the /home
partition?  I suppose that it doesn't matter, but I'm not sure.. so I'm
asking.

Where is the /dev/hda2/ partition on a RaQ4?  Root is hda1, /var is hda3 and
/home is hda4.  Perhaps hda2 is another 80 GB Cobalt isn't telling anyone
about? <j/k>

Is there a way to mirror the RaQ4 OS on my home machine?  I have plenty of
unused partition space.  What version of RedHat is it?  I thought I saw some
valinux do-dads splattered in there someplace.

Is there a program that can run the filesystem and save a visual display of
it, with perhaps permissions, and save it to a file?

Is it possible to run a linux utility like fips for DOS that will enlarge
the root partition on a Cobalt?  I don't need all the /home space as I use
the server for my own purposes.  I wouldn't mind stealing a little /home to
feed /.

Thanks!
