Re: [Trinux-talk] ext2 support?

[Matthew F. <mf...@ci...>]

Joe,

Thanks for keeping me honest on all this stuff--these are definitely
things that need to be fixed prior to 0.80final.

Oddly enough, I think the 2.2.19 kernel already has nfs client support in
it--that explains why I couldn't find nfs, lockd, and sunpc. In that case
if you just upgrade (getpkg) the netutil package, I added the the standard
mount which should overwrite the busybox applet so that may work.

I've now uploaded raw kernel modules for 2.2.19 and 2.4.5 to
http://www.trinux.org/modules/

I built a new kernel image without nfs support see
http://www.trinux.org/kernel/ that should work with the new nfs-client.tgz
package I created.

I will look into the module loading stuff in the linuxrc & getpkg -- right
now it is a mish-mash of several different approaches all of which where
never implemented completely. I'll also check the sshkey issue, which is
definitely critical. Actually, I don't store sshkeys on the floppy at all
in our lab (we have about 5-10 headless Trinux boxes running at any one
time) but suck down a master key file from a web server. That definitely
works is more scalable when you are running multiple boxes. 

Thanks for your QA support.
