[Devil-Linux-discuss] Building Devil-Linux from the sources

[Patrick S. <pat...@we...>]

Hello,

I'm new to Devil-Linux and I wanted to create a stripped down Distro to
fit on my 128MB CompactFlash Drive. Unfortunately I'm stuck:
Here are the steps I've taken so far(I tried to follow the instructions 
at http://www.devil-linux.org/documentation/1.2.x/ch03.html ):
* Installed lftp ( lftp --version
LFTP | Version 3.5.0 | Copyright (c) 1996-2006 Alexander V. Lukyanov )

* Downloaded
ftp://ftp.devil-linux.org/pub/devel/sources/lfssystem-for-DL-1.0_and_up/lfssystem-cvs-20030127-i486-stripped.tar.bz2
(I want to build a version 1.2.x Distro)
* untared it to /usr/src ,
sudo tar xvjf lfssystem-cvs-20030127-i486-stripped.tar.bz2 -C /usr/src
* fetched the "build" directory from cvs (using the new SF CVS-server 
address)
cd /usr/src/lfssystem/data
sudo  cvs -z3
-d:pserver:ano...@de...:/cvsroot/devil-linux
co -P build

* fetched the source files from server #3
cd build
sudo ./update_src


* added alias cr='sudo chroot /usr/src/lfssystem /usr/bin/env -i 
HOME=/root TERM=$TERM /bin/bash -login' to my ~/.bashrc

* ran cr
make unpack
make menuconfig (didn't change the default settings)
make prepare build install iso dist

And this is where I'm stuck:
It complains about a missing linux/limits.h:

mount: proc already mounted
mount: mount point /sys does not exist
running prepare

Can someony give me an advice or point me to some documentation I should 
read?

Thanks in advance,

Regards,
Patrick
