Hi, If you want to have logs, direct stdout (it seems you actually did it), the automatic creation of a log is not directly supported (and actually makes the boostrapping a little bit more complex).
For the prompt before installation, it is actually possible, i also like this kind of stuff: edit the /etc/oscar/oscar.conf file and change "PREREQ_MODE = check_and_fix" to "PREREQ_MODE = check_only". :-) It will tell you what you will need to manually do. oscar-config does not provide an interactive mode. About ubuntu-8, it should actually work, we did test here at the lab but you have a good point, i forgot to include it in list of supported distros. I just checked-in a fix, i am about to regenerate the packages. Feel free to give it a try. About other oscar-config options (such as --setup-distro), it is not yet working because a lack of time (the merge took a lot of my time). This is one of my next step. Thanks a lot for your feedback, it motivates me in order to continue to work on that (the merge was really not fun!).

This does make the installation process a whole lot easier! I didn't play much with it yet, but here are a few general issues and error I faced -- 1) I couldn't find a log for the OSCAR bootstrap process. Is one created? 2) FWIW, it would be good to have oscar-config _prompt_ before installing the prereqs/opkgs so that I understand what packages are being installed on my system (but maybe that's just me) I gave this a whirl on Ubuntu hardy 8.04 and it didn't work. Maybe I am doing something wrong here. I initially tried setting my distro ID to ubuntu 7 as -- $ sudo oscar-config --setup-distro ubuntu-7-i386 Use of uninitialized value in string eq at /usr/bin/oscar-config line 104. Use of uninitialized value in string eq at /usr/bin/oscar-config line 111. But it couldn't install all the prereqs for me. Then I tried this -- $ echo "ubuntu-8-i386 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/+hardy+universe+multiverse http://bear.csm.ornl.gov/repos/debian-4-i386/+etch+/"; >> /etc/oscar/supported_distros.txt $ cat /tftpboot/distro/ubuntu-8-i386.url http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/+hardy+universe+multiverse But it still could not install the prereqs . Are there any distro-specific nits which it is failing on? I can manually install all the base prereq packages using apt-get but the script can't find them. ERROR: impossible to install base ( /usr/bin/install_prereq --smart /usr/share/oscar/prereqs/base). at /usr/bin/oscar-config line 161 ERROR: impossible to install base prereqs (/usr/share/oscar/prereqs/base) at /usr/bin/oscar-config line 161 ERROR: Impossible to complete stage 2 of the bootstrap. at /usr/bin/oscar-config line 161 Log attached. Any help would be much appreciated.
