I've played around with dachstein rc3 and was able to replace glibc 2.0.7 with glibc 2.1.3 - finally have a running system. Initial tests with rc4 are underway.
A few ideas how to save the necessary space for a root.lrp with glibc 2.1.3 and still fitting on a 1,44MB floppy for bootdisk.bin. Replace ash with busybox ash (including command completion) (define BB_ASH, define BB_TEST, symlink for sh -> ash, ash -> busybox, [ -> busybox) Replace traceroute with busybox traceroute Move libnsl... to libnsl.lrp (David mentioned it and did it) That results in a root.lrp of 906kb. Small enough for the first step. I guess another 25k could be saved if netstat is moved to ifconfig.lrp - didn't check, but is there anything which relies on netstat before ifconfig.lrp is extracted?? (And yes, traceroute might also be part of ifconfig.lrp - instead the busybox version - saving 1kb) About 3k could be saved replacing login with tinylogin. Not to mention the upcoming release of busybox, which might introduce a smaller start-stop-daemon, who is capable to start/stop busybox syslogd and busybox klogd. Even glibc 2.13 is outdated, it might be a small step forward. kp _______________________________________________ Leaf-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
