Date: Sat, 14 Jul 2001 02:12:26 -0700 From: "Andy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Announcing Fuzzy Linux 0.5! =========================== I just finished an ISO of Fuzzy Linux, my ickle business card sized linux distro build from LFS. The ISO is available for critique at http://fuzzy.morphidian.com. This server is quite slow, if anyone wants to mirror it please feel free :) It's designed to fit on a business card sized CDR, to put in your wallet or whatever, and consequently is limited to 40mb (which I've filled :) I'm quite proud of it (for a first attempt). It has a web browser (lynx) and an IRC client (BitchX). It tries to use DHCP on boot to grab your IP address, but has documentation for setting up your networking settings if that fails manually. It automagically detects your network card through the crappy script /etc/init.d/netdet (which I wrote and others are free to steal :) There are a few issues I have that I intend to fiz before the next release: 1. No PCMCIA support (I didn't know how to do it then :) 2. It's compiled to i686 (damn uname), this will be changed to i386 3. Theres not enough stuff on it. I'll look into the linuxcare BBC to see how they implemented their CD and copy their method. 4. It needs to be 'weeded'. There are quite a few files in there that arent needed, so I'd like to remove everything (like gcc, there are no includes, so this isnt needed :) Any comments you have would be greatly appreciated, however scathing, so I can improve it. If anyone has any questions about how anything is done, please ask me. Many thanks to Bryan Dumm for help with the bootscripts. ./andy /* Andrew Craven ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) - http://www.morphidian.com/~andy/ */ A,n,d,y;main(){while(A<78)for(y="IVGHXFHQrQrRFHQqSqSEHR4SEHQ6REHQvSDGQxTBGQ\ yTAGQyTAFQzUERzUE3x3SC5x4RA7x6A7QvQ69"[A++],printf("\e[4%dm",y>>4==5?0:y>>4) ,n=y&15;n;printf(d>21?"\e[40m\n"+(d=0):" ",d++,n--));}/* Carpe Noctem */ -- Unsubscribe: send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put unsubscribe in the subject header of the message ------------------------------------------------------- -- Douglas J.
