Doing just. Took Redhat 6.1 and created minimal tar balls of packages. Stribed binaries and libs and no docs, man pages, etc. It's up and running including networking in an 8MB partition. df tells me it's consuming about 5MB. > >Currently, I can boot to the M-Systems chip as single user .

Compile util-linux, sysutils, shutils, ppp without PAM and shadow password. Get's rid of a lot of libs.

Looks great ... Now what do I do ?:-) Well, that depends :-) At this time I am working solely with ramdisks. That is I format the flash with a DOS filesystem and use syslinux to boot the kernel and an initrd. If you pass root=/dev/ram to the kernel it will keep the initrd as the root filesystem. An alternative to syslinux is to use plilo or lilo to boot the system from a Linux partition/filesystem. I haven't been able to patch lilo for the M-Systems driver. And lilo is harder to use than syslinux. Once syslinux is installed it doesn't have to be run again. If I configured it to boot the bzImage kernel and the ramdisk.img initrd it will do just that. The kernel and ramdisk can be changed as long as the name stays the same. Another version is to have an uncompressed filesystem on flash. Boot the kernel and an initrd. The initrd copies the filesystem from flash to a ramdisk and sets the root device to the newly created ramdisk. The nice thing about this setup is you can mount the flash and make changes to it. Those changes take effect upon reboot. I also created a bootable CD version which loads a big ramdisk. This was before I considered flash. I've thought about mounting the flash read only and creating ramdisks for /etc /dev and /var. However, since my filesystems are rather small I opted for small flash devices and more physical ram. There is a directory that contains files ending in .tar and .list. These are the compiled packages. I use mc to extract them. The mnt directory is just a temporary mount point for building the filesystem. So untar everything you need into the mnt directory. Start with _base_filesystem.tar and _base_libs.tar. The remainder can be any order. All the libs in _base_libs are required. If any other libs are required they are part of the respective tar files (libproc is part of procps.tar, etc). kernel-basic-net-doc.tar contains the kernel and modules. Since this particular kernel is meant for a single floppy wireless router it contains masquerading modules and drivers for the ne2000, pcnet32 and tulip cards. Edit the folowing files: etc/rc.sysinit --> executed by init and the section to mount filesystems needs to be edited/added. etc/config --> configuration for ethernet, etc. Very close to the Redhat 6.1 stuff in /etc/sysconfig/ /etc/rcS.d --> script files executed in alphabethical order by init upon entering runlevel 3 /etc/rcS.d/05modules --> insmod [module] A couple of bugs to mention, /etc/rcS.d/05modules needs to be chmod 755. And I trimmed /etc/termcap to aggressively. elvis doesn't work perfectly and top only fills 1/2 screen. Works fine with a termcap copied over from the Redhat 6.1 system but it's 111k. I guess the philosophy behind this particular setup is a system that boots into a ramdisk but doesn't have to gracefully shutdown. So there's only one runlevel, runlevel 3. The scripts I create to start services only care about starting the service. To be able to drop Redhat files from /etc/rc.d/init.d into my etc/rcS.d all the scripts are called with start as argument. There is nothing (yet) to stop services upon shutdown. Now, ctrl-alt-delete, shutdown -h now and shutdown -r now work just fine. I need to be able to telnet into a system an remotely reboot. Processes are killed bu the rc.shutdown script with killall5 just as Redhat 6.1 does.

Well, the site is connected at 256k. Yup, I looked at the file size last night. It's 16MB, I will split the source packages and compiled packages into their own archive and update those only when compiled packages are added. That should leave the actual collection of binaries, perhaps 1/3 of the total size if not less...

I can make another partition (or two) to use for storing user data. If the software only writes to one partition, then only that partition can be damaged during power down. By alternating partitions, only the last changes are lost. Have the application save it twice and then you have it (That's my solution for the power down problem ). > > There is a directory that contains files ending in .tar and .list.

AFAIK shutdown is not needed if your running from ram disk. Any software running on the system should force the writes to be completed when the user is saving something.

How do you detect error in writing? Use fsck on boot? So far I haven't had any user data to save. The emphasis has been on building an appliance type deal where you ask the user if the lights are on and if they're not on unplug the power to reset.

I created the *.list files with the idea of eventually creating a script that parses a file containing the *.tar files to use to build the system.

I almost had to build a remote boot system using bootroms for my employer. The idea got scrapped. The embedded platform I use has a build in bootrom.

I alread spend significant time researching the remote boot thing, unfortunatley my research was centered on Windows clients booting from a Linux server. > Well, Duh....My mistake...I never knew...I was under the impression that there > were DOS files involved: command.com calling config.sys or something.

(Pasted it at the end of this message). try: ./doc to get the usage message. ./doc -E Erases the disk on chip, well, almost. I was using ext2 but commented that line out.. need to update for msdos filesystem. Just mounts it for now. How do you do this now? ./doc -f xxx That will copy all the packages listed in the doc.conf file (default file is built with all xx.tar filenames found in the ./packages directory). Edit doc.conf to select which packages to install. The actual files 'untarred' are taken from the xx.list file. Edit xx.list file to include or exclude specific files. ./doc -s makes a list of the entire contents of the disk on chip - seemed like a fun thing to do. Other things to do from this shell script: -- look in "updates" directory to copy new files over the un-tarred files -- use a specific .config file to build the kernel just for the disk on chip -- More features to come - any suggestions welcome :-) Hope this helps.

I can hit Chicago at 22k/s but uploading to sourceforge is going at 3.2k/s at best. Hope this helps. Latest version is 0.16. The next few days I will be working on the products the embeded thing was started for. After Christmas I am hoping to get some documantation done and perhaps some scripts to buid different type systems (i.e. boot from HD, flash, CD, etc). > I'm thinking your connection is getting limited - best I could get on 3 different > downloads was about 2.8Kbps...maybe 56K is your upload speed ? Hmmmmm.... Well, if > you split it up, this won't be a problem...
