Hi, I just talked to alextreme who is the maintainer of the Morphix project. For the GNOPPIX folks: Morphix already has an installer/partitioner and sone other neat tools; everything based upon gtk2. For the Morphix folks: GNOPPIX is a linux live CD that's made to be as easy usable as possible. Alex and I were talking about these tools, because I had a look at them and I basically like them except for some things: * there's lots auf autotool generated stuff in CVS * the ui is created in c from a glade file I'll take a look at the installer this weekend to make it use libglade (this will make it easier maintainable and will remove lots of -- IMHO unneccessary -- code). For all the people reading this: Alex and I do REALLY want to work together as both projects will benefit from it: Some GNOPPIX people are very familiar with the autotools and with GNOME development. This can make the Morphix tools easier to be maintained. The Morphix people already have some tools that are working and we don't have to start from scratch with our stuff. Besides that, both projects will benefit from this tool sharing by having a wider user and developer community that can find and fix bugs.

Hey list, Well, some people from the irc channel wanted me to bring the lists back to life, so here is a short howto for building mainmodules and the new base. Part of it was already on the website: Information about the new base directories (/deb, /exec, /copy) can be found here: http://am.xs4all.nl/morphix/Cdrom-README Besides the problems with modules, i've also switched the base from using autofs to supermount. For this to work correctly, you have to remove the symlinks '/floppy' and '/cdrom' and replace them with directories. Yes, your minimodules will work. However, the 0.4-0c base uses a new version of loop that is incompatible with the previous versions. I'm still fine-tuning a new base, but for those that are curious... For the conversion from old to new mainmodule: Make sure you have the (old) mainmodule unpacked in a directory (you can get the old extract_compressed_fs from http://am.xs4all.nl/morphix/scripts/). Get the latest cloop-utils from sid (or grab them from http://developer.linuxtag.net/knoppix/). Then, build the module like usual, if you want there is a module-builder script up on http://am.xs4all.nl/morphix/scripts/module-builder2.pl I still have to make the conversion easier, but it's not as hard as it looks. However, a side effect is that minimodules won't load. Copy http://am.xs4all.nl/morphix/loadmod-0.4-0c.sh over the loadmod.sh in /morphix/loadmod.sh of the mainmodule and newly converted minimodules will work with the new base/main combination. I'm beginning to convert all the current modules over, and should have a new (full) release out within a few weeks. The above trick will only work for this base release, the next ones will have a minimodule-loading script in the base module instead of the mainmodule, like it ought to have been. If you don't want to convert modules yourself, you'll have to be patient until the next release. This base was more a way to give people with customized modules a chance to convert their modules and play around with the new features of cloop 1.0. If you have further questions, poke me on IRC! In summary: 1. replace /cdrom and /floppy with directories 2. replace /morphix/loadmod.sh with the one on http://am.xs4all.nl/morphix 3. compress the main/minimodule with the latest cloop/extract_compressed_fs in sid Cheers, Alex /'-'\ ( o o ) ------------oOO0--(_)--0OOo------------ Wouter Alexander de Landgraaf Student AI & CS VU Amsterdam Phone: 06-16844084 GPG: http://am.xs4all.nl/key_alex.asc WWW: www.alextreme.org & www.morphix.org .oooO ( ) Oooo. --------------\ (----( )-------------- \_) ) / (_/ |

Great! Glad you like the modular design, as thats the whole idea behind the project :) Trying to port Knopper's work each time is pretty error-prone, he's got the experience when it comes to hardware detection. We keep playing cat-and-mouse with eachother, but eventually all changes in knoppix flow into morphix. Recently patches are being sent, which really reduces the amount of time it takes... > I imagine a web front-end helping users build their custom ISO images and > letting them download the final ISO ready-to-burn perfectly suited to their > needs. > > This work could be shared with other projects developing "vertical" version > of > debian. > > Moreover a module-based distribution could simplify to a large extent the > management of the project. Indeed, I've been thinking about this from day one. However, your suggestion that the creation of iso's would have to be done server-side, which, alas, doesn't scale with the increase of modules (the current 7 mainmodules can have up to 4 different minimodules, will be expanded to 255 soon, of the available 16 minimodules, euhm, that are quite lot of different iso's. Did calculate once how much space a worst-case scenario would take up, and it wasn't pretty :) Clearly, the only possible solution for this is for iso's to be generated client-side. Which isn't too bad, but the user would have to use a script/application for mixing and creating the iso. Thats what i'm busy with now. First, all module/iso information is stored in a central xml file. This will idealy also include url's to different servers, and thus allow for a spreaded management of all module types (I don't want to do all the work, being pretty lazy, and there are quite a few excellent Morphix-modules out in the wild already that i'd like users to notice but I don't have mirrored): http://am.xs4all.nl/morphix/morphinfo.xml No DTD yet, as I'm still working the structure out, modifying it when I hit a new idea. But it does have all module and iso information. http://am.xs4all.nl/gfx/isomorphgui.png A screenshot of the GUI i'm building, which uses the remote xml file. As always, I'm trying to keep it simple and understandable for the user (even though there are enough who don't know what an iso is). No code in the cvs yet on this subproject, as it isn't nearly finished or working, but given enough time this monkey should produce something useful. An "apt-get" for livecd's? I hope so... Cheers, Alex PS.

Hey Morphers! Well, even though these lists are relativly quiet, for the people that havn't yet read the news yet: Morphix 0.4 is online! For details, check the newspost: http://morphix.sourceforge.net/modules/news/article.php?storyid=26 There were some problems with lilo, so I've had to re-release the iso's, but besides that it has some issues fixed and a few new issues have sprung up. All in all, a nice update and an improvement nonetheless :) Cheers, Alex /'-'\ ( o o ) ------------oOO0--(_)--0OOo------------ Wouter Alexander de Landgraaf Student AI & CS VU Amsterdam Phone: 06-16844084 GPG: http://am.xs4all.nl/key_alex.asc WWW: www.alextreme.org & www.morphix.org .oooO ( ) Oooo. --------------\ (----( )-------------- \_) ) / (_/ |

Hello,
Does anyone has interest in creating a full latex minimod from TeX Live
CD? Anyone who place such mod in his morphix cd will have instant
access to the most comprehensive latex system: TeX Live CD
collection.
The original TeX Live CD has more than 650M TeX related software.
After striping win32 stuff and compressing it with create_compressed_fs
I get a 260M compressed image. I need to mount the image somewhere
in the morphix tree and add bin/i386-linux to the PATH envrionment.
My first attempt is to create a minimod like mini-console.mod and
use the same mod loading script:
cp -s deb/* /var/tmp/trans
But that does not work as I expect: copy thousands of files from the 260M image
is too slow and I end up with and "out of space" error.
Since the "live" nature of the TeX Live CD makes it relative free to
choose install location. My next attempt is to place the image
in /iso dir on the CD and place a setup script in /exec which will be called by mini-exec.mod on loading.
the setup script just insmod cloop-mini4 file=iso/tex.mod and mount
the /dev/cloop-mini4 on /mnt/cdrom/tex
Now I face another problem: I need to append /mnt/cdrom/tex/bin/i386-linux to PATH environment.
Since the setup script is called in the sub shell of mini-exec.mod,
I can not change the parent shell's PATH.
Is there a way to change PATH from a minimod? I do not want to
unpack/pack a main mod only to change a PATH environment.
A dirty hack may be modify /tmp/init.sh created by Mainmod and
adjust PATH there. But I think this is a *dirty* hack. Is there a
better way?

Sincerely yours,
Zhang Le

Hey Zhang,
some people have been busy with booting from harddisk without installing (seems
they used lilo for it). Problem with booting from a floppy image is that current
basemodules still use the 2.88mb boot.img (located in base/), but you can
over-come this by using a lilo bootdisk instead of directly copying the boot.img
to a disk. Do a search on the forum, calcpage and reboot have been playing
around with it...
Happy morphing!
Alex

I meant to do this myself when I was playing with Morphix but as I was not doing much it was worth one burning a few CDs (shame most of my hardware was only willing to work with Knoppix 3.2). Before someone ported it to windows Frozen Bubble was also available as a demo CD img and at the time i used these instructions to save using a CD. If you are using windows 95/98 (not ME or NT or 2000) you might consider using loadlin and then you might not even need a floppy disk. http://www.frozen-bubble.org/index.php?menu_item=1 (near the end of the page) If you don't want to waste a CDR, you can download the hard-disk boot floppy, hd.img and the program image, fbimg.bz2 (21 Mb); then make the boot floppy, save the program image on one of your Windows partition (C:\ will make things easier later on) and once you're booted, indicate the filename to the program (Unix filename, e.g. without the C:\, and use / rather than \ to specify sub-directories; if the file was saved under C:\fbimg.bz2, just type in "fbimg.bz2") > Sincerely yours, > Zhang Le It would be really nice if this documentated nicely somewhere (a Linux HOWTO perhaps?) for all the people who use Live CDs, in fact I wish i had looked this up and not burned all those CDs for RedHat 9.

Hello,
I just download a morphix light gui iso and burn it with a cd-r. It
looks cool! Now I want to add some Chinese support to it (Maybe a
Chinese minimod). Before I start I want to know is it possible to boot
from a morphix iso file. (I currently have a knoppix iso on a vfat
partition and boot it with a floppy image)
I look at the morphix CD and find no floppy image there. Is there
other way to boot from hard disk? I do not want to burn a CD every
time I test a new iso.

To: Alex de Landgraaf <ale...@xs...>
Hello Alex,
Please be notice I already TRY to stay off your list as much as possible. And
apology if it has inconvient ANYONE.
Nevertheless this should NOT cosider as a SPAM since this company does NOT has
ANY commercial gain from this E-mail. It is rather about how much donation your
group would like(And WITH NO STRING ATTACHED). How long does it take to convince
some of your guys about that? It would be rather strange kind of spam,doesn't
it? Well, I could understand someone would just turn off from this kind of
thing, I see.
At least from my persective, this is AN important matter which does
REQUIRE your group's collective decision(I assume you group decide things
democratically). If you ALONE can SOLELY represent your group on all this
matter, I will ONLY communicate to you on these matter AND ASSUME YOUR POSITION
IS FINAL. No protest, because Alex say so. This will be EFFECTIVE today.
. What I mentioned in last E-mail were three things IMPORTANT for your groups
to decide: 1. What percentage? If you don't like ANY, say NO; and everything
will follow what I said; 2. Project Area open for ALL Linux Live CD developer,
and they should know and decide by himself; 3. Whether to cooperate in a Project
to make a kind of "step by step illustrated guide" for ALL Live CD Distro? Which
of THEM is for the COMMERCIAL GAIN of my company? Which of them is NOT on the
geniue interest of Linux Live CD community? Which of them is NOT for the
interest of Linux Live CD user? Would your guys read a few more lines?
Even if you found 1 offensive, then how about the 2 and 3. Do your group think
about it SERIOUSLY or just balantly write it off as SPAM? It does appear to me
that your group ONLY LOOK AT THE FORMAT, STYLE rather than its CONTENT. Just be
polite, whatever anything else. Is that the way you think? Tell me where to send
this if not developer's list? If developer wouldn't want to help me develop a
manual for ALL dumb user, where can I get people to work with my project? Is
that a bad place to annouce a project? Where do I annouce so I will get your
attention? You made the Live CD, I don't ask you to make the manual, who shall I
ask? Is that a serious question of whether we can develop a manual so EVERYONE
can use LIVE CD? What is your response other than "STOP SPAM"?
After I had it a few time, I just wonder do your group of developer care any
real communication than whether it is spam. No one EVER think seriously about
what I said, just NO SPAM NO SPAM NO SPAM. Don't brother me. Don't brother me. I
don't care about ANYTHING. Don't talk me ANYTHING other than tech. If this is
the altitude of ALL Linux developer, Linux is doomed. How can it be user
friendly if tech do NOT treat other as HUMAN! Geeks often OVERLOOK how they
behave as one turn-off of Linux. I can NOT imagine Linux can go mainstream if
geeks does NOT adopt a more mainstream altitude toward users and like.
Microserfs is anonying, how about geeks? I can't say I like them.
Or am I just TOO anonying by mentioning money, profit, gain, commercial these
"HATE" words there? Anything .com MUST be evil, so Fortune is right in
labelling your guys: comms?
Sorry for writing this long, I am just VERY VERY VERY UPSET with your group's
"HELPFUL" reaction. You don't care and I shouldn't care at the first place!
Regards or NOT,
Will-NEVER-be-a-geek

Please note that this is spamming. I've ignored it for a few posts, and this
list isn't all that active as most conversating is done on irc or the forum, but
for the few people that have subscribed to this list I'm asking you to stop
this. If you don't, I'll have to moderate this list, which would be
counter-everything-what-morphix-stands-for and would cost me more time, but I
won't have it that this list is used for your company's purposes, how good your
intentions might be.

Hello Linux Live CD developers, Please be notify that your Linux Live Distribution will be available for sale on linuxlivecd.com very soon. To encourage sharing and long term substainity of this technology, LinuxLiveCD.com will share a percentage of profit with your group no more than 15%. Now please discuss with your member and determine what percentage your group would like, and reply me no later than Friday. Bear in mind, this is PURELY an act of courtesy; your group is not in any sense affilate with LinuxLiveCD.com, nor it represent any kind of obligation for your part. (Certainly, it would be better if you assist us.) Likewise LinuxLiveCD.com do NOT necessarily agree with your group's position toward commercialization. If you do make the choice of brutally REFUSE any donation from us, LinuxLiveCD will still keep a percentage of profit generate from your distribution as "EMERGENCY fund", just in case your group may need. Again, in LinuxLiveCD.com we see it as our mission to promote Linux commercially(like Michael Robertson). And believe this is a better way to bring Linux en mass.Can you imagine a world WITHOUT Redhat, Mandrake, Suse or many commercial vendor/packager of Linux, how many Linux user will be there? If it wasn't one of them, I myself won't be using Linux(and over 99% of people) at the first place, let alone doing that. If there isn't any profit, IBM, Oracle, PeopleSoft won't be on our side. There is NOTHING wrong with doing business itself, the ONLY thing maybe wrong is the way we conduct our business. We are open to your opinion on that. Remember, reply me by Friday! Good luck with your project! Coridially, Euler Project Manager LinuxLiveCD.com Hong Kong P.S. The Project Area is open for ANY Linux Live CD developer to use WITHOUT any pre-condition. Our terms has relaxed somewhat. P.S.S Would you like to HELP ME HELP new Linux user? Why newbie would fall back to Window again? One way to make their life easier is make a sort of "step by step illustrated guide" on how to use Linux Live CD to accomplish daily task. Could we work together on that? It will be a GREAT SERVICE to many Linux Live CD users. And it will release under Open License v 1.1. Who would like to help? |

Hello!
People in Metadistros are going to define how the tree is going to
seem, and they're looking at how Morphix loads minimodules. It seems
that they don't have it very clear and they have asked me to ask you :)
Could you explain a bit how this works? Where does it mount them?
Please, keep the CC to metadistros-en
P.S: I'll be mostly unavailable during the next week, as I'll be making
my end studies project.

In this Slashdot history you can read that Gentoo has made a LiveCD for PPC: http://apple.slashdot.org/apple/03/06/03/1625222.shtml?tid=3D106&tid=3D185 I hope things can be used from there. --=20 Jose Carlos Garcia Sogo js...@de... |

Hey lists and Jose,
At first, i thought that i18n could indeed be done with minimodules, however
adding a minimodule is still not all too easy... yet. Instead, I was thinking
about making a simple i18n application, in the same manner as the networkconf
and xconf tools i was playing around with. In cases where certain extra packages
are needed for a locale, using minimodules might be the only way, but, when the
locale already is available for use, a loadkey-frontend might be a better idea.
Never have been a fan of prompting the user too, i might add...
Anyway, don't forget that simply ripping out XF86Config-4 and throwing a
modified version into a module isn't the way to go, as it is generated at
boottime. A simple line of shell that forces certain settings seems a better
way, this could be done after XF86Config-4 is generated.
I'm still wrestling with how to solve i18n: minimodules, settings or a
combination. All will work, but the real question is: what is most suitable?
Anyway, it's good to exchange some ideas on this,
Cheers,
Alex

This is something that Metadistros loader is aiming to allow, asking
some of such questions at init time if the person who has made the
distro thinks that it's necesary.
I think that this is a nice thing to have.

Hello List, I came up with a rather pailness way to handle internationalisation, at lease as fgar as keyboards are concerned. Linux stores the keyboard mapping i the following file: /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz and the layout for X11 is in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 now, if we took those two files out of the Base/BaseX system, and made them modules, adapting keyboards would be childs' play (just load the swedish-keyboard-minimodule if you need a swedish keyboard) Of ocurse, this odes not yet allow to ask at runtime, but that could ocme later What do you think? Btw: greatly rteduced the size of the PDF file I put up. Robert |
