Sentry Firewall CD-ROM v1.x (www.SentryFirewall.com) Obsid@Sentry.net /SENTRY/images/README This directory contains example floppy images for use with the Sentry Firewall CD. The images contain a sample sentry.conf file, various docs and scripts, and several standard config and startup files. ext2-144.img 1.44MB disk image, ext2 file system. HOWTO make a floppy disk for a different filesystem, ie VFAT. First, format a floppy disk somewhere. In Linux, you can create a floppy disk with a VFAT file system like this: root@mybox:/# fdformat /dev/fd0 root@mybox:/# mkdosfs /dev/fd0 Then, mount the newly formated disk and the ext2 disk image that is provided on the CD: root@mybox:/# mount -o loop /cdrom/SENTRY/images/ext2-144.img /mnt root@mybox:/# mount /dev/fd0 /floppy Then just copy the files from the mounted disk image to the new floppy disk and unmount /mnt and /floppy: root@mybox:/# cp -Rdp /mnt/* /floppy/ root@mybox:/# umount /mnt; umount /floppy If you'd like to make a disk image of your new floppy, you can try the following: root@mybox:/# dd if=/dev/fd0 of=/tmp/newimage.img Certain problems may occur when using a file system other than ext2 for your floppy disk, usually related to default access permissions, so be careful. Otherwise, have fun. ## _EOF_ ##
