Procedure 13.1 Starting a Rescue System with AIDE
1
You need a second machine that provides an ftp server.
2
Copy the packages
aide
and
mhash
to the ftp server directory, in our case
/srv/ftp
:
cp DVD1/suse/<architecture>/aide<version_string>.<architecture>.rpm
/srv/ftp
cp DVD1/suse/<architecture>/mhash<version_string>.<architecture>.rpm
/srv/ftp
3
Create an info file
/srv/ftp/info.txt
that provides the needed boot param-
eters for the rescue system:
dud:ftp://<ftp_server>/aide<version_string>.<architecture>.rpm
dud:ftp://<ftp_server>/mhash<version_string>.<architecture>.rpm
Replace ftp_server, version_string and architecture with the values used on your
system.
4 Restart the server that should go through an AIDE check with the Rescue system
from your DVD. Add the following string to the boot parameters:
info=ftp://<ftp_server>/info.txt
This parameter tells linuxrc to also read in all information from the
info.txt
file.
After the rescue system has booted, the AIDE program is ready for usage.
