[gBootRoot-user] gbootroot 1.3.6 (MTD Emulator added)

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

gbootroot 1.3.6

"The application which allows you to create distributions from scratch." 

Available in tgz, rpm, and deb formats:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=9513&release_id=79150


Updated to 2.4.18-2um and the latest uml tools 20020212.

A MTD "Memory Technology Device" Emulator has been added to the UML Box
with can run either from ram (mtdram) or from a ubd "block device"
(blkmtd).  This is most useful for running and testing distributions built
on the jffs2 filesystem, though other types of filesystems may be tested. 

There are two jffs2 images you may try out which were made from
templates created by make_debian* from a Debian unstable/testing host
system:

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gbootroot/root_fs_debian_jffs2

Notes:  http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=79088

I've also added a reiserfs image with the manpages and documentation
included: 

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gbootroot/root_fs_debian_x11_reiserfs.bz2

When creating a fs with genext2fs or UML Exclusively it is no longer
necessary to run the copy stage again if you want to change the fs type.
This requirement now only applies when using a loopback device as the root
user. This means if you want to change the fs type of your root_fs just
enter a different command in the Filesystem Box, select the Create stage,
and press the Continue button.
