I hadn't noticed this. Tested it out with the newest patch, and works fine with only one minor error observed that produces no side effects: Miniroot starting Miniroot exiting - exit status 0 Couldn't umount /dev on none: Bad address Couldn't umount /dev on none: Bad address System halted. Creating new initial ramdisk Checking for the skas3 patch in the host...found Checking for /proc/mm...found Miniroot starting 174+0 records in 174+0 records out mke2fs 1.27 (8-Mar-2002) Miniroot exiting - exit status 0 Couldn't umount /dev on none: Bad address Couldn't umount /dev on none: Bad address System halted There's just a problem with umounting /dev. The question is, should /dev be umounted anyways? Another enhancement request: In umlbuilder help add more explanation for 'list'. (*) You can supply 'list' to this argument to get a list of possible values ex: umlbuilder --distro list umlbuilder --distro d --modules list The reason why I suggest this is because it's intuitive to want to do something like umlbuilder --modules list which fails unless --distro d is included, and ofcourse user's don't always looks closely at the documentation. > There are actually some nice goodies in miniroot.

Eventually - future project - I will add umlbuilder to gbootroot using the CLI interface, though the GUI could be used, too. I'm still deciding whether or not to implement a plug-in system, or just to continue building things directly into gbootroot. Umlbuilder definitely fits into gbootroot's IDE design. Thanks, Jonathan |
