Greetings, Werner.
I hope the goblins have returned your lxmenu to your top-line-lxpanel by now.
Sorry you are having problems with my little backup program.
I can't duplicate your complaint here.
The steps are:
1. Use my program prepare /mnt-system/update.tar.gz.
2. Move update.tar.gz to /mnt-system./KNOPPIX temporarily.
3a If the system is behaving, leave /mnt-system/KNOPPIX/knoppix-data.img where it is
and reboot.
Screen should indicate both knoppix-data.img and update.tar.gz being read-in.
When system comes up, move update.tar.gz one level back to /mnt-system for safe-keeping.
3b If the system is not behaving, either delete knoppix-data.img or move it out of
/mnt-system/KNOPPIX/ and reboot.
Screen should first ask you to re-establish persistence (my words). Do so.
As I recall, once persistence is established, update.tar.gz is read in.
If that's not the case, reboot and things should proceed as in 3a.
I appreciate your refinements to my crude programming and will incorporate these
to some extent. I sometimes leave things 'spread out' so I can more easily remember
and/or change them. I am mindful of the elegance of brevity, but my short-term memory
isn't so good as it once was.
I have been lucky up to now not to get my update*'s confused. It is time I used a
technique such as yours to keep them distinctly identified. Thanks for the idea.
