USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. BEWARE OF DOG. SLIPPERY WHEN WET. This code also needs an owner in order to be less dangerous - serious hackers can apply by sending mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and announcing their intent to take it over. Without whiteout support from the file system backing the upper layer, there is no way that delete and rename operations on lower layer objects can be done. EROFS is returned for this kind of operations along with any others which would make modifications to the lower layer, such as chmod(1). Also, in order to give the opportunity of installing new programs we have two ways: ports and packages. In the ports' case we should include the entire ports' collection (compressed) that equals a big amount of space substracted to the programs. Also compiling big programs may cause easily out of memory problems. Package system (which I don't like very much except for initial installations) (I avoid it as much as I can), isn't really transparent, i.e. you can't know if a package exists, or what is the exact package name, until you don't search it on a ports' tree or on freshports or whatever. We haven't a tool for searching packages, selecting and installing automagically. For those who don't know the Debian package system used by Knoppix and Ubuntu's live CDs, there's usually a customisable list of repositories to download the list of packages from, and then selecting and installing them is a bunch of commands. Or clicks, if you use a graphical package manager. We should invent an online ports' tree :) Bye, Dario -- Dario Freni ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) - satu on Azzurra Gruppo Utenti FreeBSD Italia (http://www.gufi.org) GPG Public key at http://www.saturnero.net/saturnero.asc pgpFk5uFCpbQy.pgp Description: PGP signature -- FreeSBIE mailing list (http://www.freesbie.org)

Nope, in that version we have only unionfs enabled on ram filesystem. All files are read from the compressed filesystem. Thanks for your help, and BTW, Freesbie is really neat. Keep up the good work!

Is there another file somewhere which would contain the same info? Because FreeSBIE doesn't need it. =) how come? Why would FreeSBIE already know what filesystems are mountable and a regular FreeBSD would not? Well, in FreeSBIE 1.1 there's a startup script (to be ported still in FreeSBIE 2) which searches readable partition and mount them on the fly. It doesn't update the fstab file. You can see with `mount` with no arguments which partitions are mounted and where. Besides, who do *I* know what filesystems are mountable if I use FreeSBIE, in particular journalized filesystems which, I was told, FreeBSD/FreeSBIE cannot read? Where can I get the /etc/fstab info in FreeSBIE 2) why does one mount, for example, a CD by doing mount_cd9660 /dev/cd1 /mnt/cdrom1 instead of the more simple mount /dev/cd1 /mnt/cdrom1 does /dev/cd1 not already give the OS the info that its a cd9660 CD which is being mounted? No. ok. why not? why would not a mount command followed by a /dev/something not be enough? Two reasons: 1) there's no entries in fstab, as mentioned before 2) FreeBSD's mount doesn't auto-recognize partition type like Linux one do when launched with -t auto. So you have at least to run `mount -t cd9660 /dev/whatever /mnt/whatelse`. Or mount_cd9660, which is equivalent. One more question: can FreeSBIE be used with a dial-up connection? Is there something like ppp-config/pon CLI/GUI app for dial-up with FreeSBIE? There's no (semi)auto-configuration utility, if this is what you need. There is FreeBSD's ppp utility, which you can configure editing /etc/ppp/ppp.conf and run from a terminal. See this: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/userppp.html and all the chapter about PPP on the FreeBSD handbook.

Re: memory issues with freesbie 2.0
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: My objective was to create a custom live cd with two additional ports added, which was achieved. ISO created is appx 190MB. This is on a laptop with 1.2GB ram. Now, when I attempt to work (open) files larger than about 20MB, I believe I exceed the Ram disk, if that is the right word. Thinking that my laptop with 512MB Ram was insufficient, I installed an extra 768MB to give me 1.2GB ram. However, the livecd does not see the new ram, and making another livecd after adding the ram does not help. Could someone please advise this newbie on solving this problem? Do I need to tweak the conf file? Thanks in advance, Steve. Can you exactly report the output of the error? What FreeBSD version are you using?

I really like the idea and it's great to see our plugins base growing, but I don't like the implementation. This plugin requires etcmfs but I don't think it should, as it's really simple. I think it can be rewritten without the dependency on etcmfs, just using sh, pfctl, kldstat and kldload if needed and so on. Comments? Am I missing something really obvious? Well, only a writable etc it's required, so etcmfs or unionfs are ok with it. Also xconfig plugin need it. It is not that problem. Due to its general purpose nature, I think this implementation can be considered fine and functional.

Hi,
I added -o reserve where there is the -a option used with mdconfig

My change are avalaible at
http://djdomics.free.fr/FreeBSD/freesbie2/patches/mdconfig-
reserve.diff
When I boot an ISO (with unionfs enabled), I see errors like this:
mdconfig: must specify -f for -t vnode
mdconfig: must specify -s for -t malloc or -t swap
I'm a bit lost :-(
What's wrong with my change ?
After a quick look at mdconfig source, I would say that you should
change:
mdconfig -a -t malloc -o compress , reserve -s ${etcsize}
with
mdconfig -a -t malloc -o compress -o reserve -s ${etcsize}
and so on.
iirc you can use the mount(1) style option like -o compress,reserve
(without spaces so getopt doesn't get mad). Anyway, the reserve
option slow
down the process of mdconfig and triggers the panic anyway if you don't
have enough memory available. The only difference is that the panic is
triggered by mdconfig itself and not while you're working. We should
try tmpfs patches and use it instead of fixed size memory fs. At
least it
*should* handle the 'out of memory' problem correctly.

Re: customroot.sh plugin
Hi Koen,
Koen Martens ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote:
I've been working on a customized freesbie2-RC1 cd, and found what i
think is a small bug in the customroot plugin. If you put a
master.passwd file in the customroot's etc directory, a new
master.passwd.db is built, but no pwd.db and spwd.db.
True, i'm going to add the pwd_mkdb command as you suggested.
Furthermore, the path to master.passwd in the if statement is wrong,
since CUSTOMROOT is relative to the freesbie root, but at that point
in the script the pwd _is_ the customroot directory already..
That is the same thing, I don't see anything on checking the existence
of a file using its absolute path or its relative one. It seems more
readable to me if we make clear that we're checking the existence of
the file in the selected ${CUSTOMROOT} (i.e.: the user is using his
own master.passwd file in the ${CUSTOMROOT}, so let's create the
related dbs into the ${BASEDIR}).
I'm going to commit the first part. Thanks for the patch!

Dario

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Ben Any updates on this? I just tried updating my sources and applying Koen Marten's patch from this morning but still had problems with the proper packages being added to the ISO. Did you try the same thing I tried: sprinkle some echo statements around in the pkginstall script. Start by catting input and output of each of the three functions, to zoom in which function 'looses' the package. Then you can put more detailled echo's and/or analyze the code of the function that is the culprit. Gr, Koen I'm sorry for continuing this thread, I wonder if anyone is still reading it, but I think I've finally nailed down the problem. After finally finding the .done_pkginstall file I saw a bunch of pkg_add: could not find package statements. The odd thing is all of these packages that could not be found aren't showing up in /tmp/freesbie.icICHjHP/packages as being dependencies. Are the FreeSBIE scripts not drilling down far enough to find dependencies of dependencies? I guess I'll keep digging but please let me know if anyone else sees this as possible. Have you tried running pkgdb -F (from sysutils/portupgrade) on your system? It seems you have dependencies listed on your package db that are not installed. -- FreeSBIE mailing list (http://www.freesbie.org)
