Hi, For Bering-uClibc 4 the Floppy Disk image is no more so tools/createimage.sh is not that useful. I see that Andrew has created tools/geniso.sh which works great but creates a 24MB ISO image containing all of the Packages and all of the Modules.
Personally, I want to install Bering-uClibc 4 on a CF card and others might want a USB disk image or a PXE boot image instead of an ISO. I am also thinking that we might want different image variants - cut-down in size (to fit on a small CF card maybe), or tailored to specific hardware (such as the ALIX machines). I am thinking about writing a replacement script (e.g. called "buildimage.pl") which could be controlled by XML configuration files, one XML file per image to be created. What are the relevant image target types? * CF, USB (both with SYSLINUX) * ISO (with ISOLINUX) * PXE (PXELINUX) - probably a low priority What level of control should we support via the configuration files? * Manage the set of LRP files installed on the disk * Manage the settings in isolinux.cfg / syslinux.cfg ? * Manage the contents of moddb.lrp ? * Manage the contents of modules.tgz ? davidMbrooke ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ leaf-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
