-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear Vadim,
Do not bother for my remarks, there are not critics. As you may understand, I am completely new to embedded systems. Some kind of newbee :) I was only expressing the idea that a compressed RW module in the stock Debian Kernel might well answer 80% of user needs. Then, the team would only need to release a stipped-down version of the 2.6 kernel in Unstable and modify the new Debian installer. > AFAIK, it is the only custom debian distribution that boots from > flash and works from memory a-la-Cisco, and still can be directly > upgraded from debian mirrors. I hate to boast, just humbly ask not > to spread around wrong information about my project. Would it be possible to : - - choose between /dev/hsa1 and /dev/sda1 in the beginning (at least to be able to define it as a variable). My key is seen as /dev/sda by default and does not need any parameter to boot (at least I think so). - - define Code kernel version as a variable too. Also, I never use Lilo because there is a need to rewrite the bootloader everytime a modification is done. I know the trick is to create symlinks... Are there technical restrictions in not using Grub? I like Grub because the only thing you need to modify is the /boot/grub/menu.lst Also, could you explain again the use of Rsync in your script. Because I am new, I do not quite understand. > BTW, why do you need a compressed file system if you have 128M > flash and 128M memory? Debian base with man and info pages > included is ~70Mb. Ssh and routed will add a couple of megabytes. > Compression can only make your system less debian-compatible. Using the Debian beta 3 installer, my USB key fills up quickly and the installation stops. Any idea? Maybe I should use the stable Debian installer and then upgrade to SID. What do you think? Thank you for your feedback and help.
