I can't look into it at the moment, I have a full re-compile running.

See my other posting, I guess you need to use a capital N, so use
"--Nur".

Please remove the empty line at the end of the file. Please always
check your diff for such little mistakes. Thanks.

I guess you mean "--Nur" (capital n!)

side note: "Nur"...= german for only ;-)

but you can also write it as "--ruN".

I just tried it with the anonymous account and it doesn't work. Usually 
errors like this are solved within a day.

Just send us the files in a tarball, they have to be in the correct 
directories. Also specify the url where we can download the sources.

In case you changed existing files, we require that you send us a diff.

[Devil-linux-develop] enhancement to the linuxrc script

[Tim T. <t....@co...>]

I made what I think is a few enhancements to the linuxrc script... now 
this is my 1st attempt at any real script mods, so I may not have it all 
correct.

First is simple, I have it check floppies for a config 1st, thus 
allowing someone to temporarily test new configs by overiding one stored 
on a HD. Probably be good to check other removeable media list USB 1st 
too but thats trickier. I don't think this raises a security risk, cause 
if someone can put floppies into your machine they can do a lot worse too.

2nd, if you have multiple possible sources of  the configuration file, 
if it's not on the first one, it halts the boot to prompt if you want to 
write a default one to it. This is really bad, because it hangs the 
system on an unattended reboot. So I tweaked the script to check all 
media 1st, then if none was found do a 2nd pass to look for blank media. 
Of course lastly it still checks the CDROM. Is it possible to pass the 
config source from grub as option, like it works for  "root=/dev/hda1"?

I don't know if this is the correct way, but here is a CVS diff:

Read http://www.devil-linux.org/newdoc/ch03s03.html

New files do not need to be delivered as unified diffs, a link
to them will do.

As far as I can say SourceForge seems to have problems sometimes with
the CVS. It's probably a bit overloaded. So just try again a little
later. Sorry for no better answer.

[Devil-linux-develop] cvs problems

I tried to checkout 1.0.3 from cvs today several times from several system, 
but had no success :

Logging in to

It may be related to this SF status report:

( 2003-12-12 09:00:25 - Project CVS Service )   The developer CVS server 
incurred a glitch today, causing EOF errors for many users. This problem has 
since been resolved. 

Can someone confirm similar errors?

Hi all,

i've quite finished with the new hostap driver and i just needed to

[Devil-linux-develop] [fmII] Linux-VServer 1.3.3 released (Development branch)

[<no...@fr...>]

This email is to inform you about the release of version '1.3.3' of
'Linux-VServer' through freshmeat.net. All URLs and other useful
information can be found at

    http://freshmeat.net/projects/vserver/

The changes in this release are as follows:
The procfs interface was improved, and many hard to trigger procfs
races where eliminated. Context and IPRoot structure locking was
enhanced. The outstanding 'nproc' flag issue was resolved. 

Project description:
Linux-VServer allows you to create virtual private servers and
security contexts which operate like a normal Linux server, but allow
many independent servers to be run simultaneously in one box at full
speed. All services, such as ssh, mail, Web, and databases, can be
started on such a VPS, without modification, just like on any real
server. Each virtual server has its own user account database and
root password and doesn't interfere with other virtual servers.  

Trove categories:

The fix is in CVS, I had to disable to use of the external libiconv for 
glibc.

It compiled without error for me (new lfs).
I haven't actually booted the ISO yet.

No not the issue files as I would only print it once after the boot
process is finished. Either add a special start script or change
/etc/init.d/rc for that to print it after a runlevel change
from S to any number but not any more than that.

Ok that looks fine in regards to packaging with DL too me, but
according to §3 you have to print the "NO WARRANTY..." stuff.

Heiko what about adding such a "NO WARRANTY" for the whole DL
when it starts up? Could be useful for ourselfs ;-)
