bootcd2disk - copy a system running from bootcd to a disk
bootcd2disk [-i] [-s] [-c <config directory>] [-url <url>]
With bootcd2disk a CD build with bootcdwrite can be copied to one or more Disk Partitions from the running cd-based system. Therefore bootcd could be used to make rescue disks.
It is also possible to let bootcd2disk automatically find a disk, make partitions on it, copy the cd to the disk and make the disk bootable. bootcd2disk will be available as soon as your system is running from cd.
Another way the increase the performance is the use of the mounted CD/DVD itself for the copy. The option "-url" is the same, the url starts with "file:///"
The swap partition of the upcoming system must have enough space to get the whole image!
Currently no other options can be specified on command line. All other configuration has to be done in the config files.
