I guess if we can autodetect the swap properly .. we can add the suspend line on the fly to lilo.conf .. later on ..
Hi,
autodetecting an existing swap partition is very easy and in fact already done. The remaining question is, how do you detect whether that swap partition is already being used as resume partition by another linux installation? I have no answer to that question. If someone can dig in and shed some light on this issue we can auto-enable this feature. In my point of view data integrity and data security is paramount. No feature is worth having data loss. So we have to be sure about this.
and when we are ready for grub we can do this for grub too .. i noticed there are two entries in grub .. grub.conf .. and menu.lst .. i need to readup on grub .. a bit more .. on other distros .. it is either using menu.lst or grub.conf .. .. at least this has been my experience so far .. after having played around with it a lot .. which one are we using ..
Have to dig out the old scripts of the very first attempts to use grub. I will use the file grub attempts to use automatically.
As for bootup time .. it all looks great and bootup time is much faster imho .... so great basically .. :D .. When it is decided to check my drive it is offcourse slower .. but i dont see this regularly .. so normally fast boot ..
I have to review that part once more to make sure it works as supposed. At the moment I merely added the concept. There is no finetuning been done at all.
when fsck needs to do some checking after xx mounts .. i would be a fool to say no .. drive integrity is paramount .. imho .. But again what it all boils down to ... great stuff .. tobig .. we are getting close to getting the base pretty complete ... and working out of the box pretty soon .. i think .. now .. off course test reports on lots of different hardware .. will make this a lot easier .. and we cant do without it .. to make sure it is working like it should .. so congrats ..
cheers, glad it works out rather smoothly :) . -- Tobias Gerschner Member of Board of Yoper Linux Ltd. NZ Knowing is not enough; we must apply.
