[GLLUG] questions about embedded devices.

[Peter Christenson]

Hi all,

so I'm working on a device that is for all practical purposes headless.
there is no documentation onsite, and in the next few months I will need to
change a few conf files.
the service contract has been gone for a few years and so I don't have
access to OEM support at this time.
I am able to ssh into it, and am able to find a bit of information
I believe that its based on redhat, but I don't know...

what I want to do is copy the entire drive so that (A) I have a backup. and
(B) I can try and run it in a VE for testing and modification.

any thoughts and opinions are welcome!!

this is what I've gotten so far.
