  • g4l release 0.29

    In trying to reduced the size of the kernels, I went thru the make menuconfig and removed various options that it listed as being best to say N if unsure. I tested the changes on the systems I have available and it appeared to save about 1/2MB of each kernel, but have had a few users that noted that usb keyboards don't work. Changing back to the earlier build base solves the problem, so the update is mainly just the kernel updates plus the other changes. Latest changes with 0.29 Release syslinux 3.73 Kernels 2.6.27.10 and above rebuilt reduced size by about 1/2MB but usb keyboards stopped working. Have started working with 3 students on a special project with the main ideal of updating documentation to the current level and develope a g4l-lite that includes only default kernel and ramdisk.gz and tools to add g4l via grub4dos, grub, or syslinxu.

  • g4l-v0.27 Released..

    I was hoping to get some assistance in checking that the new features worked on hardware and setups other than the limited ones I have, but got no feedback from either sourceforge or freshmeat sites.

    Latest changes with 0.27
    Updated to latest programs from Fedora 8 for non-busybox program
    and the latest necessary library files placed in exactly same locations
    as they appear on Fedora 8 installation. Few unnecessary libraries found.
    Changed ifcheck.sh script to ifcheck2.sh to use dialog instead of echo
    for messages and added delay to give process time on slower machines.
    Working on adding aespipe encryption option for encrypting ftp images
    with gpg file and passphrase. (Network Menu)
    Adding option to use sshfs to mount remote directory and save image via
    ssh connection (Local menu).
    busybox-1.11.2
    getkey.sh - script to assist in getting key and passphrase from USB.
