ignite for linux

[Donny Jekels]

Does anyone know if HP plans to release an ignite version to build linux boxes?

or do you know of a linux build server?

Hi,

I haven't heard of any plans for HP to port Ignite to Linux. I wish they would.

I have come across a package called MkCDrec, which is designed to do the same thing functionally as Ignite. I have used it to backup and clone some Linux boxes and it seems to work very well.

Here is the link to the MkCDrec home page:

Hi,

the HP answer for this question is in this document:

LINSTKBRC00009893 - Is Ignite-UX available for Linux?

Ignite is not available for Linux as it relies heavily on SDUX. Below
are links to several opensource projects (GPL) that provide similar
functionality:

Mondo Rescue-->http://linux.freak.school.nz/mondo/download.html
Backburner-->http://www.linux.org/apps/AppId_269.html



Best regards,
Ettore

MONDO is the recommended linux rescue mechanism that look very much like ignite.
I suggest you use that, as it is the most populair and works best.

Mondo and mindi are the tools of choice.

Ignite to Linux is a huge re-write. I keep telling them to do it.

They are having problems with the HP-UX version so lets let them get that right first.
