[gBootRoot-user] 1.3.4 released.

[Jonathan R. <mma...@ya...>]

Hi,

Version 1.3.4 of gbootroot has been released.

Added a button in the ARS to access the filesystem box.  Updated to the
2.4.17-10um uml kernel, updated to the newest uml tools. 

Now RPM packages are included for Mandrake and Red Hat type distributions. 
Please note that there are two types of rpms packaged for gbootroot. 
Distributions which require perl-GTK and require perl-base for perl such
as Mandrake or PDL should use the mdk rpm.  Distributions which require
Gtk-Perl and only require perl for perl such as Red Hat should use the rpm
not marked as mdk. 

The rpmized gbootroot package requires perl-Expect which in turn requires
perl-IO-Tty and perl-IO-Stty.  A search on the Net revealed that the
existing rpms out there are either outdated, don't have their dependencies
set-up properly, or require a particular version of the perl5 series.  I
made these rpms so they work on any i386 architecture which is using the
perl5 series.  This includes 5.6.0 and 5.6.1 which are in common use on
most major distributions as of the year 2002.  If you have a problem with
the automated Linux virtual machine which appears related to these
modules, please don't hesitate to contact me.  They are available at
prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gbootroot. 

One interesting note, the rpms were created and tested on Linux virtual 
uml because this feature doesn't exist; however, the fs created worked
nicely.

Regards,


Jonathan
