I am trying to build a distribution without having to be root. The SYSLINUX installer typically needs root to do loopback mounting, but if you have MTOOLS, you can use that instead. This seems to work so far: #!/bin/sh # A minimal replacement for /usr/bin/syslinux; assumes that ldlinux.sys # and ldlinux.bss are available in the current directory. You must # specify locations of mkdosfs and

I have just received some audit info on the SYSLINUX 2.01 installer running setuid. There seems to be some issues, and although I can fix them easily enough I'm somewhat questioning the whole approach. The other alternative would be to make the syslinux installer a wrapper around mtools, and use mtools for the filesystem access. Since this would be done entirely in userspace, as a normal

Peter, I'm a new user of Linux trying to use the SYSLINUX boot loader to create a Linux system. I'm doing it on a PC with WIN98 installed, and I prefer using a dual boot system. I got through as far as creating a semi-bootable floppy. The problem I'm getting states "could not find kernel image: Linux." However, I do get the "boot:" prompt as well (I just

Seth, Thank you for your reply. I'm sorry to bother with this, but what is the "root pivot" function and where can I find doc's on it. From what I understand from your email the system would basically boot twice. Once from a stripped kernel on the floppy disk to mount the CD, and then after the CD is mounted it would reboot with the kernel and initial randisk found on the

Hi, is there an option to have the DISPLAY command issue a pause after each screen full of information? I've been searching for a way to have users to agree to (or at least be able to read ) the GPL license. "by issueing a command other than F2 you agree that you are bound to the terms of the GNU Public License that is used on this FreeDOS beta9 cdrom. You can read the license terms by

Hi, (1.) How is it possible to get automatic a "lower triangle of correlation matrix" ? h.cor <- cor(dat,use="pairwise.complete.obs") zz <- lower.tri(h.cor,diag=T) ### that's not what i wish and "wrong" ? results <- matrix(unlist(h.cor[upper.tri(h.cor,diag=T)])) results <- matrix(unlist(h.cor[upper.tri(h.cor,diag=T)]),5) Must i take the lowest

I have a USB disk with syslinux files installed in /boot/syslinux, and the bootloader is installed into MBR or VBR I then extracted a *.iso file which uses syslinux as the bootloader, into root dir of the disk. The iso file contains a rescue OS or an OS installer. Now I got the directory /isolinux with files isolinux.bin and isolinux.cfg in this folder I can now boot into syslinux, but *what to

Hi, i try to create a openWRT Samba 4.3 package and stumbled across the fact that samba 4.3 will create those message socks inside the private-dir. That results in creating entries inside /etc/samba/msg.sock. On openWRT /var is a tempFS in ram, so anything there is not a problem regarding nvram and wear leveling. Yet the root uses a jffs2 overlay. So while those message socks have no size, jffs2

HPA, I believe that support to boot windows CD bootsectors was broken in 3.05. I have tested 2.13, 3.00, 3.02, 3.05, 3.06, 3.08, 3.11, and 3.20pre6. All versions >= 3.05 are broken. All versions <= 3.02 work fine with the same config. The error message I get is: ================================================================ IOSLINUX 3.20 3.20-pre6 Copyright (C) 1994-2005 H.

Hi, I'm using virsh to instance a VM in my environment, but I'm running on some issues. I created the following domain file: <domain type='kvm'> <name>demovm</name> <uuid>4a9b3f53-fa2a-47f3-a757-dd87720d9d1d</uuid> <memory unit='KiB'>4194304</memory> <currentMemory

Hello libvirt experts, I use libvirt (0.7.5-5ubuntu27.7) with KVM / qemu (0.12.3+noroms-0ubuntu9.2). Some machines use raw images but same use Virtualbox images (.vdi).

Hello, I don't know if it's ISOLINUX or a broken BIOS, this is the first time ever seeing this error. "Extremely broken BIOS" on a EPIA -M10 BIOS Rev 2.07 (latest ver available) EDEN VIA mini-ITX mobo. ISOLINUX on RH8 ver 1.75, RH9 ver 2.00 and Yarrow ver 2.06 all produce the same type of error. RH 7.3 and Lindows boot and build without any problem but I don't think they

The revised patch submitted on #4748 broke the build, I''m looking to sort out why. Also note that this auto-test email didn''t make it to rails-core because it was too big (every test failed, so the resulting email was huge). I''ll patch my auto-testing script to truncate the email to no larger than a few kb. Michael Schoen wrote: > "marcel" made

I'm not understanding something. I'm trying to add xlab & ylab to a balloon plot of a table object. From docs I thought following should work: require(gplots) # From balloonplot example: # Create an example using table xnames <- sample( letters[1:3], 50, replace=2) ynames <- sample( 1:5, 50, replace=2) tab <- table(xnames, ynames) balloonplot(tab)

I have a Rails 3.0 App ready to be deployed on a production server; but as you all might know getting all the gems you need (including Rails 3.0) on a shared hosting is nearly impossible. So here is what need help with: 1. Can I freeze my app with all the necessary gems and deploy it on Fast CGI? 2. If yes how do I freeze a Rails 3.0 app? 3. How do I deploy it on Fast CGI?
