So I'm back on track, this isn't a snapshot, or well, it is... But it is a snapshot of a snapshot. It doesn't use unionfs/stowfs yet, but that isn't a reason not to test it, what needs to be tested is the whole `boot process', which is irrelevant to unionfs/stowfs at this point. So when all major/minor bugs have been weeded out, it will just be a matter to plugin in unionfs/stowfs and making a new snap-snapshot. And do some testing of unionfs/stowfs. ;-)
So here is what you need to do, this assume that you have a proper menu.list by the way. 0) Download http://www.update.uu.se/~ams/home/slask/GNU-test-2005-10-28.tar.gz (it is 45mb compressed, 150mb uncompressed) 1) cd /empty-partition 2) tar -xzvf /dir/to/GNU-test... 3) Frob your menu.list, the kernel is called /boot/gnumach (instead of the debianesis gnumach.gz) 4) Boot. 5) Report errors here or directly to me. 6) Have fun! I'd like to see two tests, nameley: first boot, and consecutive boots. On the first boot, core translators will be setup and then dmd will start, and you shold get a login prompt. On a consecutive boot, it will just pop directly to dmd and then to a login prompt. So run along now children, and start breaking things damn it! :-) _______________________________________________ gnu-system-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-system-discuss
