So far I have: Mounted the iso Copied the contents to a new directory Modified the packages that are loaded Added all availble packages Made and iso Burnt and iso However the iso I have made is not bootable and for some reason I cannot get it to work. Can anyone tell me the correct command to make a bootable iso Thanks in advance. Mark (fat) |

Matthew (and group), fyi ... On the "RE: [Trinux-talk] NFS" posting from 11/05/2001 08:03:17 , I had problems as well after updating w/ 2.4.5/nfs-client.tgz and netutil.tgz. HOWEVER ... 1) the mount went through after waiting 5 full minutes. Since we're still in test / tweak mode, the 5 minute wait is currently not an issue. 2) the only messages that scrolled by in /var/adm/messages were from an every-minute cron called "/usr/sbin/cdpdump" ... no messages from the mount.

Hi, Im using Trinux from a month, specially as a Snort IDS sensor, and its really good. Specially for its hability to run in so small hardware. well, my trouble is with the SSH authentication. I did de getpkg from my pkg server, and both openssh and opensshd get installed. The RSA keys are importing using the kserver file. it works, i have /.ssh with the file authorized_hosts /2 ssh works fine connecting to another host. But when I want to connect to my trinux, from another host, using ssh, (openssh on solaris 7) my trinux refuse de connection with de message (in /var/adm/messages) "Warning /usr/local/moduli does not exits, using all modulus." keep asking for the private key password and then goes to root@server, etc the same happens with PUTTY o TeraTERM PRO c/ssh from a windows box. Im thinking i have to load some lib or module but i really dont know and even where to look for. any advice ?? or further reading ? thanks for reading and reply.

Sorry to be a bore but I'm having trouble getting Trinux to install properly on my laptop. I'm using the pcmcia floppy image and my network card is a D-Link DE660, it works fine with my installation of Mandrake that's on my laptop. I've put on the boot floppy pcmcia-pcnet.tgz. I modified this by adding '8390.o' to it as this seems to be required. however, at boot up my card is not installed properly. it beeps with a high pitch and then beeps with a low pitch and says eth0 is not installed. below is a bit of detail from the bootup message: installing base packages from /floppy cardmgr[147] initialising socket 0 cardmgr[147] socket 0: D-Link DE660 Ethernet cardmgr[147] executing /insmod/lib/modules/2.4.5/net/8390.o cardmgr[147] executing /insmod/lib/modules/2.4.5/pcmcia/pcnet_cs.o cardmgr[147] insmod exited with status 139 cardmgr[147] executing modprobe pcnet_cs cardmgr[147] modprobe exited with status 2 cardmgr[147] get dev info on socket 0 failed: Resource temporarily unavailable Any ideas/suggestions gratefully received.

This is to cool now the Nigerian fraud letters are going for list server
addresses.

Hi You can also boot from multiple floppy images (up to 2.88 mb) using SYSLINUX with the 'kernel memdisk' option specified in the syslinux.cfg. Also ISOLINUX could be used. Both are in the syslinux package by Peter Anvin. Current version is 1.72 or higher and is available all over the net. You can use the different floppy images to boot different configurations, either contained in a single image, or the image mounts the CD for the rest of its files... > > capacity of the the mini-CDR.

Tracks aren't really needed with a ISOLINUX setup. Look at http://www.nu2.nu/bootcd/#multimemdisk for an example. Also on this site a link to the origin of the 'El Torito' name. Greetings, Niels de Groot. (Sorry can't answer questions about this for a while, as I will be on vacation) |

Just found this: http://freshmeat.net/projects/btmgr/?topic_id=139 Smart BootManager by suzhe - Saturday, April 1st 2000 05:29 EDT Smart BootManager is a tiny, powerful and multi-language boot manager written in assembler. SBM supports many features in only 30K bytes including multi-languages and themes, a user friendly menu system, partition auto scan, boot schedule, password protection, and more. SBM is the first GPLed boot manager to embed an IDE ATAPI CD-ROM driver, it can boot Win95/98/2K, Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and BeOS from CD-ROM. Multi-bootable image CDs are supported as well. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ John --- Matthew Franz <mf...@ci...> wrote: > If I recall ISOLINUX (vs. SYSLINUX) did not use El Torrito.

If I recall ISOLINUX (vs. SYSLINUX) did not use El Torrito. THe last (corrupted) ISO I released used it. So you should have no limitations regarding floppy size for kernel/initrd. I don't think syslinux is a real bootloader (meaning like LILO/Grub) because I don't think you can boot a specific partition vs booting a kernel from an iso/fat fs like syslinux/isolinux do. - mdf > > Bootable CD-Roms use a trick to get the ancient ROM-BIOS on PC class > motherboards to boot from CD-Rom. > > Named El-Torito (and I don't recall why), the trick is to place a floppy > image onto the CDrom and boot the (virtual) floppy.

I have had a good look on the net. There are tools that can detect a bootable OS on a CDROM.... So in theory that should not be a problem. The issue is is partitioning the ISOs onto different partition like tracks on the CDR. I have had some success making bootable CDROMs from scratch but this is a whole new game that I don't know where to start. If I was to assume that the machines I am using have enough memory is there anything clever I could do with RAM discs?

Hello, Thank you for the replies. I have managed to load my packages from some floppies now. I deleted the dhcp file from /tux/options and put an empty file with the name floppy in there. So I am able to test the windows computer now. I have tried the first step that you suggested Yuval but it didn't work. Trinux tries to connect to the server but doesn't download packages and goes on with loading trinux without an error message. I tried to load with the default setting of the pkglist file, so that I'm pretty sure that I didn't try to load too many programs like Tim notified me about. I'm sure the second step with Apache will work, but I don't want to decrease the security of the windows computer, and loading the packages from floppies works now, so it isn't really nescesarry anymore. It would be nice if I could enter the internet though. There is an proxy server running on the windows computer to share the internet with the other computer that is on the network. Can I use the proxyserver to share my connection with trinux pherhaps? It would be nice if this could be solved. Thank you for any other suggestions.

Bootable CD-Roms use a trick to get the ancient ROM-BIOS on PC class motherboards to boot from CD-Rom. Named El-Torito (and I don't recall why), the trick is to place a floppy image onto the CDrom and boot the (virtual) floppy. You can find more info in the howto docs that come with most distros. Or search the web for "El-Torito". So, your challange actually originates with a boot floppy. You can have a look at the boot floppy used by RedHat for example. Redhat includes a boot manager (lilo, if I recall) that will allow the boot from selected partitions. I don't recall if Trinux uses a similar boot manager. Once you have mastered the configuration of the boot manager, then you can address the "how do I address the multiple tracks on a cdrom" issue. I cannot help you there, sorry. Can anybody help here? Setup the boot manager on the floppy to offer to boot one of the multiple tracks on the CDrom and then include the floppy image in the new CDrom. Before you start, you need to know that the floppy boot image is extremely tight, so adding any code is usually accompanied by removing some other component that is less needed. Usually, this means removing kernel drivers, since the kernel takes up the majority of the floppy. Modifying the boot floppy image and creating a bootable cdrom is not for the faint at heart, and it is unlikely you will master the entire process easily. I made several posts last year (nov-dec 2001) that help to explain how to modify the linuxrc file, which is included in the boot floppy image. I also burned up a stack of blank CD's to debug my custom bootable CD-rom iso. It took me several days. Good luck, and if you get it working, please let us know.

John, Thank you for your contribution. It appears that you have excellent knowledge of the situation, and could really help this fellow out. Your response however, falls just short of providing any usable benefit. It fails to provide any insight as to how Mark might accomplish his task. You could describe for him the boot process, and how apps like Lilo can provide the ability to boot from several partitions. How to configure and install Lilo onto the floppy image and how to make it work for his purpose. Or you could point him to a previous post (perhaps on the thinman list?) that might answer some of his "how to" questions. You might view some of my old trinux-talk postings in Nov and Dec of 2001 for an example. Also, I don't know if I speak for everyone on this list... But it is a generally discouraged practice to cross-post to several lists. This is a quiet list, the posts are almost always relevent, and the members are really very helpful. Your previous postings included other lists, and led to several IMHO seemingly unrelated posts to trinux-talk. I can understand your excitement about your project/product and I support your efforts 100%. However, by cross-posting to the Trinux list, you are creating unneccesary and irrelevent emails to the people you are hoping to interest in your project. Please help us preserve the integrity of the trinux-talk list. 1) Do not cross post to multiple lists. 2) Contribute by providing information that is of real use or a pointer.. 3) Feel free to ask questions, but include as much specifics as possible when you do. If you feel your post is really very relevent to multiple lists, then cut and paste the post and send it individually to each list, so that an irrelevent thread on the thinman list, does not spill over into our mailboxes. Thanks alot! And welcome to the Trinux list!

Those "partitions" would be tracks... Not only could you have mulitple OS's -- you could mount mutiple filesystems, for instance. This would help the Linux Society Distro (LSD) fit one of it's key criteria, small as possible components to support crappy copper lines out who knows where.

First off appolgies for the off topic question but I thought someone on this list may be able to help. I have been having trouble with CDROM support of credit card CD's (i.e. the big slice in the cdrom drawer makes reading unreliable or impossible). Since then I have discovered mini-cdr's with a capcity of 180Mb and a nice hard case that can fit in my wallet. I usually carry 2-3 different bootable cdroms for slightly different purposes and the total size of all these distros is less than the capacity of the the mini-CDR. Is it possible to boot into different "partitions" for lack of a better word contained on the same ISO? Appreciated for amy advice you can offer Mark (fat) |

Hello Everyone, I'm in the process of trying to add some stuff to my trinux bootable iso image. Unfortunately i run out of space on my ramdisk for ram0 which is the device where / is stored. What should i do to either increase the ramdisk sizes or to add additional ramdisk to an existing one (if possible). Best Regards Lasse K. Christiansen |

Ben, Two potential solution to your problems. I experienced similar ones when I started researching Trinux 5 days ago. The first one is quick, the second one is more reliable. I assume you have an internal LAN connected to the internet through a gateway (cable/ADSL modem or other LAN/WAN connection). If you share the internet connection over the Windows internet connection sharing, you probably want to go straight to the second solution. quick solution: on your trinux-net boot floppy, in the tux folder, edit/create the following files: - server - dns - gateway - eth0 server - put on top the url http://trinux.sourceforge.net/pkg/ - remove the trinux.org URL (does not work) dns - the ip address of your dns server (you can find it in WinME by running WINIPCFG) gateway - the ip address of your gateway eth0 - the ip address you assigned to the machine and its netmask (example: 192.168.1.101 255.255.255.0) be connected to the internet when booting, good lick. Reliable Solution: Install a server on your WinME (Might Explode?) and get the packages from it. 1. download the Win32 Apache Distribution (I use the 1.3.x as I have not had time to test the 2.0.x yet) http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/ 2. install it on WinME (it works on Win 2K and I used it on Win98 as well) 3. download the trinux packages you need from one of the repositories to a folder within the DocumentRoot of Apache on your WinME. http://trinux.sourceforge.net/pkg/ http://www.io.com/~mdfranz/trinux/pkg/ 4. assuming that your WinME IP is 192.168.1.100 and the folder's name is trinux-pkg, add the following line on top of the server file http://192.168.1.100/trinux-pkg/ 5. make sure Apache is up and running before starting trinux. Advantages of this solution: 1) speed 2) economical on the limited bandwidth ressources of the download sites 3) complete predictability of the boot process I do not know if the file local (also in the tux folder) has also a meaning. I left it unchanged.

I've setup the settings for my network in trinux now. I can ping my other comuter that is connected to the internet, but still can't download programs. The most importand now is that I can test the computer that is connected to the internet, but Trinux doesn't see the trinux directory on C:\ that I have created now, and I'm not asked for a floppy where the programs are on also, so I can not test it. Does someone know how I can load the programs? And is there a way to download the programs? The computer connected to the internet has windows ME on it. Thank you for the help.

Hello, I'm having some minor problems with Trinux. I can configure it for my network, but only if I remove the dhcp file from it's original directory, and then configure the network in trinux. The settings that I give in Tinux are accepted, but it doesn't download any packages. I've used an working servers adres in the server file, and inserted some program names in the pkglist file. Can someone tell me wich name the network file have to has, and in what directory does it have to be placed, so that the network it configured automaticly? DHCP doesn't work. And can I follow the example for the settings that is on the trinux.sourceforge.net site. And does someone know why I can't download the programs?
