This may not be the correct mailing list for this question, but I thought I would start here before I went to the 68k port mailing list. I'm trying to solve a install problem that I am having. I'm not sure how other installs work, but on my 68k Mac there's a file called macinstall.tgz. Inside are the following
drivers.tgz root.bin sysmap.gz linux.bin images-1.44 <a folder> Of these, I know the following 1) root.bin is a compressed binary of a ramdisk image of a root file system. The installer must be pointed to this to boot. I have uncompressed it and mounted it on another linux install. Compressed the image is 1,303,755 bytes. 2) linux.bin is a compressed linux kernel 3) the others files are rather self-explanatory Here's my question. Inside the folder image-1.44 are the following files: root.bin rescue.bin driver.bin Each is 1,474,560 bytes. I know that root.bin is also a compressed image of a root filesystem. (Oddly, when I decompress and mount it, it mounts as the same size as the previous root.bin mounted ramdisk, even though they both are compressed to different sizes.) My question is about rescue.bin and driver.bin. Since they are the same size as the root.bin, I assumed that they are also compressed images that I could mount as ramdisks. But I haven't managed to do so. gunzip does not recognize them, even with gunzip -S .bin. So what's inside these files? how were they made? and is it possible to get inside of them? Many thanks for the info, W. Crowshaw __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? LAUNCH - Your Yahoo!
