Yes, recipes are simple but just a one character change in the source url to point to trojan instead could go unnoticed even if it was quickly looked at. I'm not expecting to get the signatures before basic stuff works, but I hope they would be there before more wider use. |

Once we get the basic stuff straight we will have time for that. recipes are rather simple though and for now we can certainly do without that. S and P support md5sums to verify the integrity of the sources used. On 27 Oct 2002, Timo Sirainen wrote: > How about adding full support for GPG signed packages?

How about adding full support for GPG signed packages? Every package and recipe file would be GPG signed by it's maintainer and by default nothing would be installed if the signature didn't match an existing known key. Preferrably also support GPG signatures for original source packages if they're found, like: S ftp://foo/bar.tar.gz ftp://foo/bar.tar.gz.asc The signature in .asc file would then be verified to be signed with a key which is signed by the upm maintainer. Other than that I like most of the design and ideas. |

That functionality is part of upm functionality. upm builds will always save binaries in /var/upm/binary. Those can be made available on a mirror.

Aloha, I am considering using Telemetry Box for a public computer lab I am bottom-lining for the student community at the University of Hawai`i. I am currently using Redhat 8.0 as the base operating system on these machines. In short, I am wondering if: - A tbox live CD would be capable of providing X11 plus a Gnome2 desktop environment for a homogenous set of workstations? [The workstations authenticate over NIS (or LDAP) and NFS mount their /home directory. Our workstations are PIII-700Mhz with 128MB of RAM] - With UPM, is it possible to build a local binary repository (ala an apt source) and perform network installations with custom compiled packages? Thanks, Charles Paul (epsas) Background on our Lab: Gentoo Linux was used in an earlier configuration - but a decision was made to move away from Gentoo for a couple of reasons: o Part of our lab's mandate is to teach University and High School student volunteers how to install and maintain Unix machines. The 'fastest' installation procedure for Gentoo I found involves dd'ing a bzip2 compressed image of the raw block device over ssh (we have a homogenous network of P-IIIs). While this method may be less time-consuming than a redhat kickstart, I felt this was not a suitable introduction to GNU/Linux installations for newbies. o "Bootstrapping" Gentoo + X11 + Gnome2 + Gimp is time consuming - we did not want to run SysAdmin training sessions over the span of two days. The current Redhat configuration is adequate; providing a modicum of functionality for our users, and an acceptable ease of maintenance for our admins. The keywords are 'modicum' and 'acceptable'. Redhat's distribution historically suffers from a list of problems that are only partly alleviated by apt-rpm and other third-party tools. |

Sorry, but the installation process is not Debian based. There is no easy way to generate boot disks. Bringing up a system from one of the rescue / boot disks available from a variety of other linux distros and then copying over the tree from the CD is the easiest way around it. Boot disks have caused so much trouble in the past and I do not have much time to spend on supporting the open source project. |

There is no easy way to do it. You can copy the isolinux.bin from the /isolinux directory to a floppy and try it that way. Get any rescue disk and access the iso image remotely. Mount it as an iso9660 image and then just copy the tree with cp -a to the HD and run lilo on it.

If you have an existing linux installation then do the following:
1. Copy the iso image to the hd somewhere.
2. Mount the iso image using the loop device
mount -oloop whereever-it-is.iso /mnt
3. Copy the tree somewhere else
cp -a /mnt cdroot
4. Now you can run the CD environment using chroot
chroot cdroot
5. Use the networking of the host environment to install the
kernel-headers
apt-get update
apt-get install kernel-headers....
6. Compile and install your driver
7. exit chroot environment
CRTL-D
8. Rebuild the iso
mkisofs -R -l -o mytbox.iso -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat
-no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table cdroot
9. Burn ISO image
10. Boot from CD on the other PC.

The 1.6.5 release has a 2.4.18 kernel. Install the kernel headers package. apt-get install kernel-headers-2.4.18-386 Then compile your driver on the box itself using the kernel headers in /usr/src. Install the .o file in the proper /lib/modules directory and you should be set. On Wed, 3 Apr 2002, Clark, Bill W. wrote: > First let me tell you that what I have seen of your product is great.

There are no boot disks available. You could try to put isolinux from the CD onto a floppy and use that to boot from CD. See the isolinux pages http://syslinux.zytor.com. If CD is accessed via PCMCIA then the install will not be possible.
