Our baby was release just some moments ago. Many thanks to all who made this happen, I’m very proud!
Also many thanks to the release team, ftpmaster, cd people, www-team, press folks and all who worked so hard today instead of having release party, to make it real.
Just a place to be!

For some reasons, you may need to clone/backup NTFS based systems. Lets say your NTFS system is located at /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1 is a spare partition where you can store your image.
At first you need to boot a live system to take an image:
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1
dd bs=512 count=1 if=/dev/sda of=/mnt/sdb1/xp_vbox.mbr
ntfsclone -s -o – /dev/sda1 | bzip2 -9 -c > \
/mnt/sdb1/xp_vbox.img.bz2
To restore the image you just need:
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1
dd count=1 bs=446 if=/mnt/sdb1/xp_vbox.mbr of=/dev/sda
cat /mnt/sdb1/xp_vbox.img.bz2 | bunzip2 -c | \
ntfsclone -r -O /dev/sda1 -
P.S. If you are elective in germany, have a look at this!
What a happy day … on the wedding anniversary of our civil marriage we got a great gift. Our favorite distribution released a new major version.
Like every time … it’s the best distribution our project released so far. Many thanks to all those people who did make that happen. If you not married today, maybe you have the possibility to dedicate Lenny to your valentine. :)
Today I was reconfiguring a Cisco 7513 with a RSP 16 and a FastEthernet module inside.
So I did a “erase nvram” and a “reload”. After booting I was surprised to see the following in my Terminal:
Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]:
Loading pxelinux.0 from 10.42.10.50 (via FastEthernet4/0/0): !!!
[OK - 13156 bytes]
So the box took an IP via DHCP and tried to netboot. (Un)fortunately it only breaks my terminal, so no worries! ;)
