# maintboot
|
|
|
|
maintboot runs commands outside of the current OS,
|
|
with exclusive access to the system and hardware.
|
|
|
|
This can be useful to run maintenance tasks,
|
|
like repartitioning, in a controlled environment.
|
|
|
|
Maintboot builds an appliance on the fly from a list
|
|
of packages (using supermin).
|
|
It then loads the appliance with kexec, bypassing
|
|
the bios, and runs the maintenance script in that
|
|
new context.
