ANNOUNCEMENT! NEW GoboLinux-release available! Hi, LFS-users! LFS Book GREAT! Very BIG Thanks for the LFS developers!
I created a new VERY MINIMAL gobolinux-release, FROM SCRATCH, via the descriptions in the LFS Book 7.4! Of course, modifyed it as the approximately GoboLinux filesystem-hierarchy! (I am already registered LFS-user, my ID is 24291 !) In the GoboLinux (since long time ago it is not under developing) every programs are into the separated directory installed, for ekzample: /Programs/Bash/versionnumber/... /Programs/Glibc/versionnumber/... etc. This release only a PRE-ALPHA version! It is VERY-VERY NOT recommended for non-expert users! But, it is USABLE. This release NOT an ISO fájl, just a tarball. You should download it, unpack it to an empty partition, edit the grub.cfg file, and install grub, or (recommended!) reboot to an existing linux system, and update-grub! THIS IS REALLY NOT DESIGNED FOR BEGINNER LINUX-USERS, JUST/ONLY FOR “HACKERS”, OBSESSIVE GOBO-FANS, DEVELOPERS, EXPERT USERS, OR MINIMUM “POWER USERS”! Known bugs: - After the reboot, need press an “Enter”, to the prompt. I not know, why ever? - The kernel is set to UTF-8 as default, the language set to hungarian, but in the place of the ascended characters (for ekzample “ő”, “ű”) in the MC visible just a “?”. - The Udev not in the /Programs tree, but it is installed via the “regular” method described in the LFS. Because I am absolutely/highly idiotic to the Udev. !!! Deficiencyes and non-tested functions: - Even so the installed programs are in the /Programs tree (except the Udev and the Linux kernel&headers), the boot scripts in this release made in the LFS Book, NOT the conventional/traditional GoboLinux-bootscripts. They are to me too complex, and I have to them not enough knowledge yet. - The “Compile” and “InstallPackage” not work yet, because this release dont has “Wget” and other needed dependencies. But the PrepareProgram, SymlinkProgram, and lot of other Gobo-scripts work s good. - No GoboHide, sorry! I cannot write kernel-patches. A few days ago I sent e-mail about this problem to Hisham & Lucas, the original GoboLinux-developers, but they sent me no answer/reply. - No graphical environment yet. - Wifi not tested. - Ethernet connection not tested, because I have dinamyc IP adresses, but this release not have DHCPCD yet. - The /System/Links tree has a few broken links presumably. This is not problem. - I changed one setting in the Glibc-source: Modifyed in the hungarian locale file. In the “original” hungarian “standard” the decimal_point is NOT a point (not the 0x2e character) but the “comma”, the 0x2c character! This is idiocy, stupidity in my eye/opinion, on this score I changed it back to the original international (“US/English”) value, to the 0x2e. The name of the root user: root The root password: violazoli IMPORTANT! Keep in mind, that in the hungarian keyboard layout the “z” and the “y” buttons/characters are changed/reversed... :) The md5sum of the tarball: ef04b8571a8000e6ab211680e77699a4 NewGoboReleaseByViolaZoli.tar.bz2 filesize: 280251310 (=273683 K) The download link: http://parancssor.info/gobolinux/NewGoboReleaseByViolaZoli.tar.bz2 Enjoy, and please write to me ALL possibility, how can I make it better! I wait for solutions to the described bugs/problems written above, If you have any ideas. My future plans: Make to this release xorg, DWM window manager, rxvt-unicode, Moc music player, mplayer, mencoder, smplayer, xbindkeys, xchainkeys, and other good stuffs, preferred the commandline- and ncurses-based utilityes/programs!
