I'd like to see: - a fix to send mail from init (this is a one line fix) - a fix for lrp_space_check; it won't work with Bering, since you've created a second partition for /var/log I have a dumb two line fix, Michael D. Schelif has written a much more flexible script - needs probably more documentation and an example, Michael... > busybox 0.60.3 (will save 10k) Your busybox still has the applet freeramdisk, I'm pretty shure this doesn't work with tmpfs, and nobody will free /dev/root. > So if anyone wants to report a bug or some code change proposal it is the > time to do so.

Do > not hesitate to volunteer :-) Dachstein had a ramdisk.lrp; after I#ve looked into it, it's not needed in Bering. To create another ramdisk/partition is done nearly automatically if you have a fstab entry and a package, which provides a mount point - something worth to mention in the docs. (I can write the few lines of text, if wanted). Another point, is the handling of /lib/modules. Charles approach in Dachstein-CD has been an intelligent /etc/modules and load process - with mount/umount commands and cd capabilty. Eric create a link and hold the CD mount in /cdmnt. Couldn't decide, which way is better... And as a last point: The current CD building process with isolinux is technically the most advanced solution, anyway I can't boot with it. HP Anvin tells us in a few places, that a lot of older bios are buggy and will only boot with the ugly syslinux/bootdisk.img solution. In opposite to Dachstein, this is mostly harmless, cause we don't need root.lrp oin the bootdisk.img. Therefor an alternate way to build a cdrom should be mentioned in the docs (again, will try to add it in a timely manner, if wanted). Ah, one more - could you please provide a busybox/Config.h similar to the kernel config? regards kp _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas -- http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm _______________________________________________ Leaf-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
