[coLinux-devel] Minimal Fedora Root

[Jaroslaw K. <ja...@zd...>]

Hi!

Has anyone of you actually installed 'fedora core 1' that I posted
yesterday? (my logs say that 22 people have downloaded it since then)

I'm very intersted in hearing your opinion or at least learning if it worked
for anyone beside me.

If it works, I'd like to ask Dan to upload it to sourceforge because serving
it myself, takes a considerable amout of bandwidth.

Hi Jaroslaw,

can you make the image as an sparse image per default? It would be
usefull, because I don't have enough space and configured the image from
9. of April as I need.

How can it be sparse and bzipped at the same time ?

[Mathias W. <mat...@gm...>]

Hmm,

the question may must be, how can it be unbzipped and sparsed at the
same time? Correct?
Up to yesterday I do not fully understand sparse files, but now.
I can not answer the above question.
Maybe you can make the image file size much smaller (i.e. 500 MB or 1
GB) and everybody who needs more space, can expand the file with the
tools listen at the WIKI page?

I thought about it but at the same time I wanted GNOME to be usable with the
default image. Unfortunately you need >512 MB image for this.

Re: [coLinux-devel] Minimal Fedora Root

[Jaroslaw K. <ja...@zd...>]

I liked the idea of having sparse image files so much that I created a tool
for decompressing *.bz2 and making the result sparse at the same time:

http://jaak.sav.net/colinux/sparsify.exe
(source is here: http://jaak.sav.net/colinux/sparsify.cpp)

Usage:

bzip2 -cd image_file.bz2 | sparsify.exe image_file

It will print "#" for each non-zero chunk and "." for each all-zero chunk.

BTW. CoLinux works like a charm with these sparse files!
BTW2. Bzipping with "sparsify.exe" is actually faster than normal because
fewer disk blocks get written to the disk.
BTW3. Untested with really large images (over 4GB) but should be fine.

Re: [coLinux-devel] Minimal Fedora Root

[Jaroslaw K. <ja...@zd...>]

Sorry, I have compiled it with managed C++. The new version which doesn't
require .NET is in the same place.

Wow! It only depends on kernel32.dll !!!

RE: [coLinux-devel] Minimal Fedora Root

[Mathias W. <mat...@gm...>]

Hi Jaroslaw,

I've tried the new root image together with the sparse tool and it works
great! :-) Here my feedback:

There are still some missing modules:
char-major-21, char-major-10-135, block-major-2

Also it would be usefull, if you include the packages kbd and
redhat-config-keyboard.

I could not get dhcp to work. But maybe this could not work with bridged
TAP?

If I use redhat-config-network to change network settings, they made in
the wrong file (/etc/sysconfig/networking/ifcfg-eth0). It must be
changed in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0).

Good work!

RE: [coLinux-devel] Minimal Fedora Root

[Daniel R. S. <dan...@ya...>]

Dhcp should work fine with bridged networking, however, the linux kernel
needs to be compiled with Socket Filtering turned on (CONFIG_FILTER=y) to
enable dhcp. It might be a good idea for the colinux kernel config to have
this turned on by default.

I have attached the kernel config file I have been using successfully for
fedora core 1. In addition to having socket filtering, I have turned on
modules for most of the non-experimental filesystems. It also compiles
support for a.out and misc binaries as modules instead of linking them in
statically.

char-major-21 is Generic SCSI devices - I'm not sure if it can be included
char-major-10-156 is a real-time-clock. It probably should be included (if
it works - Dan?)
block-major-2 is a floppy disk -  probably cannot be included yet
