OK, I modified the install-on-usb script to use grub.
(your lilo code is still in there, and can be selected by changing 
one line in the script)  

Give grub a try and see how it looks and works for you! :-)

I still want to rework some of the code so it detects the device file
better (right now it's detecting my SCSI HDD as a USB stick).

And there is one current limitation in my grub code.  It will only work
if DL is on the first partition of the USB device.  I can change that if
you want me to.  Or we can make the first partition a requirement.  Let
me know which why you'd like it.

How many times do I need to reboot for it to happen?
I did it a few times without a problem.

One possible problem that people may run into is they do a save-config,
and reboot with a power-cycle or RESET button.  The buffer hasn't been
written out to the USB stick when save-config completes.

I recommend putting a "sync" at the end of the save-config script.

It works fine.  The "ro" _KERNEL_ option mounts it initially RO, but the
startup script remounts it RW.

I booted up with the USB stick write protected.  I then switched the USB
to RW and ran save-config.  save-config failed because the filesystem
was still mounted RO.  Then I ran a "mount / -oremount,rw" and
save-config worked.

Maybe you should check for that in save-config.  If the root partition
is RO, do a -oremount,rw at the beginning and a -oremount,ro at the end?

[Devil-linux-develop] [fmII] which 2.15 released (Default branch)

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

This email is to inform you about the release of version '2.15' of 'which'
through freshmeat.net. All URLs and other useful information can be found
at

    http://freshmeat.net/projects/which/

The changes in this release are as follows:
This release adds support for automake-2.7.2 and autoconf-2.57. It
also changes the way it searches for executables of the same name in
PATH; it will now skip files that are not executable even though the
"x" bit is set on group or others. This can happen because when you
own a file only the owner permission bits apply, likewise for the
group permission bits. This was actually a bug in bash (and still
is), but some distributions have changed bash to this more compliant
behavior.  

Project description:
Which is a utility that prints out the full path of the executables
that bash(1) would execute when the passed program names would have
been entered on the shell prompt. It does this by using the exact
same algorithm as bash. Tildes and a dot in the PATH are now expanded
to the full path by default. Options allow to rather print "~/*" or
"./*" and/or to print all exectuables that match any directory in
PATH.

[Devil-linux-develop] [fmII] BusyBox 1.0.0-pre3 released (Default branch)

This email is to inform you about the release of version '1.0.0-pre3' of
'BusyBox' through freshmeat.net. All URLs and other useful information can

The changes in this release are as follows:
This version features bugfixes and cleanups. 

Project description:
BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a
single small executable. It provides minimalist replacements for most
of the utilities you usually find in GNU fileutils, shellutils, etc.
The utilities in BusyBox generally have fewer options than their
full-featured GNU cousins; however, the options that are included
provide the expected functionality and behave very much like their
GNU counterparts. BusyBox provides a fairly complete POSIX
environment for any small or embedded system.

My English could be better I guess. Ok once more.



When telling jftpgw in its config file to run as user nobody

it does try to create its logfiles as this user too. Instead

it should create them as root and then switch to the

configured user. That's how all other daemons do it.



Mailed the author of jftpgw, so we'll see what he has to say

about this matter.

User nobody now exists. An we have a new jftpgw version.

Now this jftpgw is braindead because when setting it to run

as user nobody

I starts creating the logfiles not as root and then changing

the user. We

and up with a non functioning jftpgw.

 

So jftpgw has to be run as root :-(



Will try to file a bug report with them.

This is still open, or?

The user nobody is added to the system, but we'ld have to 

change some more, e.g. start script. ;-)

I have no jftpgw running, so I can't test it.

Re: [Devil-linux-develop] telnetd

>> I don't think telnetd exists on DL.  Probably because it's so insecure.

i know telnet is not "very" secure ...
i need it only in the lan ... and i want to make a monitoring/setup 
windows-application for my raid server.
(i wish i have ssh components for my delphi ... but for now i have only 
plain tcp)

Re: [Devil-linux-develop] usb - boot ; hda boot ??

[Heiko Z. <hz...@pr...>]

Hey,

all the stuff I mention below requires, that you work of the latest CVS=

snapshot.
Please do your changes in a way, so that you can send us patches.

At the end of mount_cdrom you find the part where we check the /dev/sd?=

devices, copy this section  and modify it accordingly.
Please make sure that you mount with -ro , for the USB we currently use=

-rw.

yes and it seems to work good.

You can specify any other device, it's only important that you use
partitions.
The script will need e.g. /dev/hda1 as input.

The stuff should work as mentioned.

Hey when you have success, we need to rename the script to
"install-on-anything-you-want". ;-)

Of course, as usual: no warranty.

That is abolutely correct.
Because of the security issue, we only support the telnet client
(outgoing).

Or the Cygwin ssh.

Yes. I started 2 more clean builds and didn't have any more problems.
It looks like that your file build/scripts/config/config_linux didn't g=

Did you update the CVS stuff ? If yes, please run another "cvs update" =
in
the build folder.
