Does anyone in the devel team recall how the ttylinux rootfs was created, by which I mean what changes were needed? Nothing detailed, just "oh, just /etc/fstab" or whatever. I haven''t yet compared myself, though I''ll figure it eventually. For XenCD, I''d like to ship a pristine ttylinux instance on the ISO image, and have the XenCD startup process copy that the pristine tree, and make a few tweaks after the copy to produce a functional rootfs. PS. Networking seems broken in the XenCD ttylinux VMs; advice is welcomed. -- jared@wordzoo.com "One cannot mark the point without marking the path." ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IntelliVIEW -- Interactive Reporting Tool for open source databases.

I recall some networking stuff was removed from the image but don''t know specifics.

The XenCD build script (available in subversion) as of 1.0pre02 now creates a functioning, network-capable ttylinux rootfs from a pristine ttylinux 4.4 distribution. It indeed turned out to be simple, as expected. /etc/fstab, /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/network.conf, /etc/network.d/interface.eth0, disable hwclock, remove 00.firewall, 40.pppconf, 50.isdn, seems to be the complete list used in XenCD. -- jared@wordzoo.com "Truth is a great flirt." -- Franz Liszt ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IntelliVIEW -- Interactive Reporting Tool for open source databases.
