Yard is a suite of Perl scripts for creating rescue disks (also called
bootdisks). A rescue disk is a self-contained Linux kernel and
filesystem on a floppy, usually used when you can't (or don't want to)
boot off your hard disk. A rescue disk usually contains utilities for
diagnosing and manipulating hard disks and filesystems.
Yard has the following features:
- Builds rescue disk from a list of file specifications.
- File specs allow absolute and relative filenames, symbolic links,
file replacements and full shell-style globbing.
- Automatically determines necessary libraries and loaders.
- Allows stripping of binaries and libraries during copying.
- Automatically regenerates ld.so.cache
- Checks for broken symlinks
- Checks /etc/{fstab,inittab,termcap} for common errors and inconsistencies.
- Checks user directories and files mentioned in /etc/passwd
- Checks command files (eg, rc.local and .login) for missing binaries
and command interpreters.
- Automatically performs filesystem compression and copying.
- Can be used with or without LILO.
- Can make single or double disk rescue sets.
- Extensive checking of user choices and execution errors.
