Re: [Devil-linux-develop] build iso creates endless amount of processes

[Michael B. <Mic...@ta...>]

Whiteboxlinux (RHAS 3.0 clone)
2GB RAM
2 * 2.2GHz Athlon MP
800 GB Diskspace, RAID 1+0

should do no ?
and yes I have it also without that but only for a short time.

Which linux distribution are you using?
Kernel version ?
How much RAM?
Enough free disk space ?

Does it work without your modifications ?

Any reason why make iso creates 2000 processes ? I mean my aditional
software has some heavy install scripts but the amount of processes
created by make iso is so high it kills the box after a while and so
never creates an iso ...

Re: Fw: [Devil-linux-develop] Logfiles from failed Compile

[Heiko Z. <he...@zu...>]

Ashwin,

I looked over you logfiles and can't find a problem.
The only thing I saw is that cdrecord complained about some kernel includes.

Can you send me your .config file, then I try to compile a system with it.
Which Linux distribution are you using on your compile host?
Which DL version do you try to compile? 1.2 ? 1.3 ?

everything ;-)

Delete the .config file in the build directory and start "make
menuconfig". When the scripts asks you to copy the default config say no.
This is then the absolute minimum the system runs with.

You should at least set the options under "Build Configuration", like the
security and 'compressed ISO' stuff.

I just saw per accident that glibc 2.3.3 is released and nptl is standard
in it.
I started a new compile, if it works then I'll update it in 1.3.

Hey,

I finally added the dar package, sorry that it took so long.

I did 3 changes to the script:
- added $PMAKE to the make statment, to enable parallel builds on SMP
machines
- delete the tmp/usr/include directory
- delete the tmp/usr/lib/*a files

This depends on the program you're compiling.
Take a look at the following scripts to get some ideas:
alsa-driver
e100
hostap-driver

[Devil-linux-develop] [Fwd: Devil Linux (tarpd inclusion)]

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

-----Forwarded Message-----
From: Bob Clown <ell...@us...>
To: bl...@us...
Subject: Devil Linux (tarpd inclusion)
Date: Fri, 20 Aug 2004 18:12:19 -0700

I was wondering if you would include, in the next build, the 
tarp dameon (tarpd.8).  This howto is _really_ close to being 
nicely supported:

http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/Remote-Bridging/x19.html#AEN24

It discusses bridging two lans together over the internet.  The 
only thing it requires, that isn't already included in your 
package, is tarpd.  Tarpd is an arp server dameon which 
responds to arp requests, an essential tool for a tunnel and 
can be found at this address:

http://freshmeat.net/redir/tarpd/10247/url_tgz/tarpd-1.6.tar.gz

In either case, it's not that difficult to add in manually, but it's 
just one more thing the user can then do with your nifty 
distribution.

Bob Clown
