Yard is a suite of Perl scripts for creating rescue disks (also called bootdisks) for Linux. A rescue disk is a self-contained Linux kernel and filesystem on a floppy diskette, 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.

Here are some key features of "Yard":

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.

Provides information on library usage.

Checks NSS and PAM configuration.

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.

Requirements:

Perl 5

Linux 2.0 or later
