Copy files from/to the system partition

... under the most recent version of KSM 08 (KSM08prep03.zip) without telnet or similar.

To copy a file from the system partition:
  • select tools > explore > ... (navigate to the directory that contains the file you want to copy)
  • toggle between the options "open/info/delete/cp to sysmirror" and settle for "cp to sysmirror"
  • poke the file you want to copy
You will find the copied file together with the whole path in .adds/kbmenu_user/sysmirror/.

For instance, if you selected the file /etc/init.d/rcS, it will produce .adds/kbmenu_user/sysmirror/etc/init.d/rcS (on the user partition; that is /mnt/onboard/.adds/kbmenu_user/sysmirror/etc/init.d/rcS).

To copy a file to the system partition:
  • select: tools > ksm diverse > copy sysmirror to sys.sh
This will sync-copy the whole content of .adds/kbmenu_user/sysmirror/ to its intended location.
For instance, if you want to sync-copy the file myexecutable to /sbin, you would create .adds/kbmenu_user/sysmirror/sbin/myexecutable, and then select ... "copy sysmirror to sys.sh"

Use this only with caution!
