[Devil-linux-develop] [PATCH] install-on-usb - major enhancements (I think)

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

In the process of fixing the broken gub/lilo support, I've made some 
significant chnages to "install-on-usb", hopefully you will find them as 
useful as I do. The diff as well as the complete file is attached for 
easier review. Item (5) means install-on-usb should be included inside 
the ISO as well, hence the mods to copy-base.

Comments?

Tim

----------------------------
Changes:
1. Fixed Grub/Lilo stuff to copy the bootcd.iso rather than the whole 
contents.

2. Auto-replaced /dev/sda style device names with link contents (who 
likes having to type that??) to allow to work with devfs.

3. Added prompts for formerly implict selections embedded in script 
(such as choice of grub/lilo/syslinux)

4. Added prompt/support for initrd with ext2 (changes required ramdisk 
block size)

5. Added ability to make the bootcd.iso from the actual DL CD itself - 
solves chicken-and-egg problem, no need to get ISO and Dist archive. In 
theory allows boot of target machine from CD and self-install to 
USB/disk. I did not test this yet, but did install CD based image OK. dd 
copy is done with info based on isosize so does not have problems with 
CD-Rs and creates binary duplicate of original iso.

6. Option to copy your own config file to disk, with option to use 
different partition (recommended).

7. General code cleanup.

Oops, one mistake with the sequence of events for the fdisk need to get 
the device before I can call fdisk. Last minute changes always get you:) 
Fixed now.

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

All Done.

But there's still a problem:
when the script copies the stuff onto the device, cp prints a warning 
about omitting the directories grub and lilo.
Can you take a look at this?

Sure. I think the fix will be to just send it to > /dev/null though. Or 
we could just copy them, in case the user ever wants to switch 
bootloaders.  I don't think I have a lilo sub dir on mine tho... curious.

OK, I just ignore that warning now, not sure if there is a more elegant 
way to handle it.

Also, cleaned up code a little more, moved the required disk format type 
warning to before the fdisk prompt, also fixed error if cfdisk was the 
selected tool (and made cfdisk the default as it is more user friendly), 
plus added option to edit the Lilo/Grub conf files before they are saved 
to device.

I tested the self-install of booting from cd and installing to usb and 
it works.

Hey,  I just tried the syslinux boot and it didn't get  anywhere... I 
usually use grub, can anyone see whats wrong? Should those files in 
/boot on the CD not get put into the root dir? Did it work before? I 
don't think I changed anything there...
