How to... Rescue System on Dockstar running ArchLinux

Hello,

I've had ArchLinuxARM (and PlugBox Linux prior) on a Dockstar for the past year and just recently saw these posts about Jeff's Rescue System V2.

I currently run ArchLinuxARM from a USB stick and have a 1 TB external drive attached to one of the other USB ports. I had a USB stick go bad on me a while back and the Dockstar would boot into the old plugOS (without trying to phone home), so I was able to reinstall ArchLinuxARM on a new USB stick. Does this replace this old plugOS bootup?

Can I install the Rescue System by unplugging both the USB stick and 1 TB drive, rebooting into plugOS, and then downloading and running the install script or should the install script be run when the Dockstar is booted into ArchLinuxARM with the USB stick and 1 TB drive attached.

Thanks!

I"ve got three Dockstars running ARMedSlack, all with the rescue system. The rescue system will replace the stock plug OS. I installed the rescue system first so I did not have any usb sticks or drives connected when running the rescue system's installer script. I just booted into the stock plug os and followed Jeff's instructions from there.

Thanks. I'll disconnect them and give it a shot.

I flashed the RescueSystem v2 directly from ArchLinux ARM!

How ?

Just following the Instructions from Jeff at the RescueSystemv2 Thread!

Can I do this also with a GoFlex Net running Archlinux on a SATA HDD?
