**** BYLD 1.0.1 ****

Rouge Alain <ROUGE_Alain@pcmail.enac.fr> found and fix a bug with boot.b

An anonymous user submitted a patch (that I applied to MakeImage) to use
depmod with all kernel versions.
Thanks to Tom for above patch upgrade.



**** BYLD 1.0 ****

Thanks to Tom Flynn <http://sourceforge.net/users/flynnt> because he
contributes a lot to fix combatibility bugs with RedHat



**** BYLD 1.0 beta 3 ****

Thanks to Bernhard <bablock@gmx.dr> for patch to BuildRoot (now works also
with german version of 'du')



**** BYLD 1.0 beta 2 ****

Thanks to Make Herrick <MHerrich@OpenReach.com> and Bruno L.F. Cabral 
<bruno@openline.com.br> for patch to BuildRoot (now works also with bash 
with version minor than 2.0)



**** BYLD 1.0 alpha 3 ****

Thanks to Matt Mueller <donut@azstarnet.com> for Take 1.1 patch.



**** BYLD 1.0 alpha 1 ****

You can create bigger disk simply setting correct values in Environment
(this is an experimental feature).
Thanks to Marek Nazarko <mnazarko@computerland.pl> because he explained me
how to do this.

--------
BusyBox
--------

BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single
small executable. It provides minimalist replacements for most of the utilities
you usually find in fileutils, shellutils, findutils, textutils, grep, gzip,
tar, etc. BusyBox provides a fairly complete POSIX environment for any small or
emdedded system. The utilities in BusyBox generally have fewer options then
their full featured GNU cousins; however, the options that are included provide
the expected functionality and behave very much like their GNU counterparts.

BusyBox has been written with size-optimization and limited resources in mind.
It is also extremely modular so you can easily include or exclude commands (or
features) at compile time. This makes it easy to customize your embedded
systems. To create a working system, just add a kernel, a shell (such as ash),
and an editor (such as elvis-tiny or ae).

Busybox was originally written to support the Debian Rescue/Install disks, but
it also makes an excellent environment for any small or embedded system.

Well here it is...
CClinux :)

email me at fbw@cosmicchaos.com

The download unpacks a tree and a compiled kernel, you can replace the kernel with one you compile, just make sure it fits ;) the default kernel .config has been included...

--- Installation instructions ---
First unpack the archive, tar -xzf CClinux-1.5.tar.gz and change into the dir,
cd CClinux-1.5 ;)

YOU NEED TO BE ROOT TO DO THE REST OF THE DISK CREATION!
unpack the tree.tar.gz file: tar -xzf tree.tar.gz

make sure you have the loop module loaded or compiled in the kernel:
modprobe loop (as root)

and type ./MakeImage

Insert a 1.44" floppy in the drive /dev/fd0 (edit the WriteDisk file to use another one)
Then type: ./WriteDisk


If you want to compile a new kernel, the 2.2.10 version included was made with
the .config file in this distribution, so take an example from there.


--- Usage instructions ---
There are a few scripts in the scripts dir that are automatically added to
the distribution feel free to check em out. they're VERY handy:

netconfig: this configures your network, quite essential ;)

mouseconfig: this simple script restarts gpm on another mouse device
current selections are ps/2 and serial port 1 to 4

ram [number] : this makes a ramdisk and mounts it in /mnt/ram[number

buildlinks: this util is for when you want to have access to all the binaries
on the HD, for example when you use this disk as a rescue disk...
this makes symlinks from /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/etc/lib to /lib
and /usr/lib
So to use it, and you have a linux root partition on /dev/hda1 do:
mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/local [enter]
buildlinks [enter]
(the symlinks are made on the ramdisk, the hd will not be touched...)

hm
Enjoy :P

DLX

Title:          DLX
Version:        1.0
Entered-date:   15. April 1996
Description:    DLX is a full featured linux system running on Intel PC's.
                The special thing is that DLX comes with only one 3,5"
                floppydisk. DLX boots with a kernel >= 1.3.89 and starts a
                ramdisk image. In addition to that DLX also has a writeable
                ext2 filesystem of about 130 kb on the same disk to easily
                store configuration scripts (survives booting, is not on the
                ramdisk !).
                Further is DLX fully prepared for the paralell-port ZIP-Drive
                which allows you to mount 100 mb disks. You can even put
                large programs like perl5 on the disk because a special 
                directory on the ZIP-disk is mounted as /usr/local/* ! 
                These features make DLX the ideal disk for network trouble-
                shooting, PC installing and/or FTPing from a university pc-lab
                if you do not have your own PC connected to the internet or
                your dialup is just too slow/expensive.
