Yes, lilo is no longer used.

What exactly did you enter when it ask for partition name?
It appears like you may have entered something like:
"/dev/sda" instead of "/dev/sda1"

Looking at the .config, I think I found the problem. 

build/scripts/config/config_linux.smp didn't have a newline at the end,
causing your options to screw up when appended.

I fixed it and started my compile over from scratch.  
I'll know if it's fixed in an hour or two ...

could you check the lfssystem/data/build/tmp/linux-2.4.22/.config.old and check for:

CONFIG_NOHIGHMEM=y
# CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G is not set
# CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G is not set
# CONFIG_HIGHMEM is not set

if you selected no highmem support or

# CONFIG_NOHIGHMEM is not set
CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G=y
# CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G is not set
CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y
CONFIG_HIGHIO=y

if you selected highmem support.

[Devil-linux-develop] install-on-usb script

[Diego T. <dt...@co...>]

i've found several problems when using the install-on-usb script.

installing lilo as a bootloader is commented. Therefore, i suppose that its deprecated. 
If not, there is an error:

Ok, I've merged your suggestions to mention in the form of a press
release.  For the moment I'm hosting it on my LUG's web server.
  
I believe this should be finalized and moved to the devil-linux.org 
site before the release date.   Please review and comment:

[Devil-linux-develop] Firewall script confusion ...

[Bruce S. <bw...@ar...>]

I was recently ask a question privately about firewall scripts on DL. 
There are the scripts we provide in /etc/init.d, PLUS a couple more
firewall scripts in /etc/ppp.

I've never used PPP on DL, so the /etc/ppp/ firewall scripts were news
to me.  From the comments in those scripts, they appear to be part of
the Roaring Penguin package.  They also use ipchains, so I'm not sure
they will even work on DL.

Should we remove those scripts from /etc/ppp?  
Or what should I tell people asking about which scripts to use?

 - BS

[Devil-linux-develop] size matters?

[Diego T. <dt...@co...>]

Doing tests to make an usb bootable device, i've just discovered one bad thing:

a plain .config (empty, with only the cpu type specified) generates an iso of 88mb...

this looks like something is broken on the new build system. previous isos (of dl0.6) were 50-60mb, and had a lot of software installed.

is this because all the libraries got copied, no matter if they are selected or belong to a software not slected?

Thats not so easy. I've tried to force one of the values relaying on the user choice, but it has to be validated by the user, selecting it.

If the user doesn't select an option, it isn't written to the .config file. 

The other option is to force the value on every script, but thats not easy because of the order of execution. I'll checkin the option i liked most, and then anybody will be free to improve it :)
