I could not find a man page for pkg online

pkg is just a bash script I wrote myself.

but maybe there is a switch to make it create
packages like makepkg.

No there isn't. But what's so hard about doing
"tar -zcvf" from the / directory?

That would package the entire filesystem, wouldn't it?
I put my packages in their own directories, such as
netpbmpkg, cd there, and then make the package with makepkg.

For BL3 packages without library symlinks I have used tar.
Does tar make symlinks?

Have you any idea how a bad scsi controller could affect the file system such that even when you copied all the files to another non-scsi drive you still get fsck.ext2 fatal errors about signal 11 (segfault) when booting (but it boots) and wrong inode counts when you run e2fsck -b 8193 (but not without the -b 8193) every time after booting to it? I thought inodes had nothing to do with the filesystem, they were in the partition table or something. And BL3 complains about superblocks when booting (it does not have fsck.ext2) and also has bad inode counts after booting, which do not stay fixed. I don't know how both linuxes could have been affected, except that I seem to have ended up with some BL3 files in BL2 /etc (maybe I copied them to the wrong place.) However I overwrote all of /etc from a working BL2.
