[coLinux-devel] ANN: Minimal Fedora Core 1 - new image

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

Hi colinuxers!

After more-or-less 1 terabyte of generated root images, I'm pleased to
annouce the availability of a new version of "minimal fedora core 1" root
image.

It is available along with installation instructions at:

http://jaak.sav.net/colinux/newimage.html

The server bandwidth is 2Mbit/s so please be patient.

Changes:

1. Initial image size is 35 MB (was 80 MB). The rest is downloaded from
freshrpms.net or another RedHat mirror.

2. Tasks-like feature (similar to what Debian has) is provided. You can now
write:

# apt-get task-gnome-full

(Note that there are some bugs in redhat dependencies which may require you
to do manually install some packages)

3. iptables works (Note that this requires a custom kernel + images since
20040417 image is broken. As soon as Dan releases a new snapshot containing
fixed modules I'll remove the kernel + modules from my release).

4. Some basic GUI configuration is provided for setting up network and
firewall (redhat-config-network-tui and redhat-config-securitylevel-tui)

5. The initial image is already patched with the latest redhat updates (as
of Apr 17th).
