not listed below are considered optional. Copy these programs to the directories /bin or /sbin as follows:

# cp /bin/{program_name}

/diskonchip/bin/{program_name}

/bin directory:

cat	echo	mount
chmod	hostname	mv
chown	kill	ps
cp	Ln	rm
cut	login	rmdir
dd	Ls	sh
df	mkdir	su
dircolors	mke2fs	sync
du	mknod	umount
e2fsck	more	uname

/sbin directory:

haltShutdown

initSwapoff

ldconfigSwapon

mingetty Telinit

mkswap Update

reboot

rdev

runlevel

The file name of mingetty varies with the distribution, i.e. RedHat and SuSE use mingetty, Slackware uses agetty. To find out what the name of this file in your distribution is, perform a grep on “getty”:

#grep getty /etc/inittab

8.The /lib directory contains all the shared libraries and loaders. Only the appropriate libraries need to be copied to the /lib directory. To check which libraries are needed, type the following command for each file in these two directories:

#ldd /sbin/{filename}

or

# ldd /bin/{filename}
