[Morphix-devel] live DVD and module-builder

[Gabriel <sn...@gm...>]

Hi there friends,

I've setup a system full of features and applications. I'm sure this one
won't fit on a single CD even after compressing with ccfs. So that's why
I'd like to pack it on a DVD.

A few interesting things:

When I tried to use "module-builder -b source_dir base/mainmod/mmod.mod"
it starts normaly and suddenly gives my kernel a crash! Lots of kernel
panic messages for my delight ;-P . After knocking my head a few times
and reading the man pages for create_compressed_fs I decided to use a
real file instead of stdin/stdout. So I create an iso from the directory
and then compress this iso with ccfs. Now it works. Next issue ...

I tried to use "make-iso base_dir myimage.iso", but I think that
make-iso doesn't like to deal with large files ;-P . I won't do it's job
and keeps complainning about something related to "file bigger than
2Gib" and "no -allow-limited-size option given" . 

I think it's possible to build a liveDVD, I just haven't found the way
yet :) . 

My machine is not that great and it takes too much time just to wait for
compression and genisoimage to work. Could anyone give me a hint ? Or
the exact command to type ? :)

Thank you 

Gabriel.
