[coLinux-devel] Re:0.5.3pre2: klog, dpkg utils errored while configed

[Ballard J. <sac...@ho...>]

I created an extra block device, cobd1.  I put a 256MB swapfile on cobd1.

colinux:/etc# cat fstab
/dev/cobd0 / ext2 defaults 0 1
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/cobd1 /mnt/cobd1 ext2 defaults 0 2
/mnt/cobd1/swapfile none swap defaults 0 0

I ran dselect again, and I have not seen any kernel complaints.

When I compiled binutils before, I noticed it did not handle situations when
some utilities where not available.  Specifically, it did not handle no
"msgfmt" or no "flex" well.  After I added the swapfile, dselect noticed
that "gettext" was downloaded but not installed.  That explains why the "no"
utility not found message appeared.

Seems like I need a generic cobd0 and a cobd1 that can quickly resetup
cobd0.  The coLinux projects sure does make reinstalls much much easier.
