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@wordzo...

Currently xcs is run by xend in xen-unstable by simply making it a child process. If you launch xend from an ssh session, the session won''t exit because the xcs still is connected to it''s controlling terminal. xcs should daemonize itself to prevent this from happening. This patch does that along with making the domain id => port mapping dynamically allocated. Regards, --

...technically is going on in Xen and why syslinux doesn't work; the answer is that it uses the multiboot spec to have a place for both the ELF Xen hypervisor, and a module for the Linux kernel itself. Someone said they didn't think any released live CD used GRUB, well, my XenCD does for this very reason.) - Ease of configuration (single file, not a separate file for colors, for instance. Ease of configuration matters for market penetration purposes, including menuing. If more of advanced menuing was "built-in", it'd be a clear advantage; I r...

I''m continuing to work on making a new XenCD as previously discussed here. In the course of that work, I''ve generated (actually, currently stuck on) the enclosed crash dump. Thought I''d forward it for interest. To head off questions, you''ll see references to a very large initrd (~114 Mb). The Xen dump may...

I''m tracking performance on the machine I installed yesterday. mutt running on one Xen instance, accessing via imap to another instance, accessing via nfs the maildir in another instances, seems little laggy when moving up and down the message index list. Network latency seems low < 30ms on average. So I was tracking vmstat. On the mutt instances is seems reasonable: [nic@shell:~]
