Re: debxo 0.1 release
Thanks for all this! I still need to sort through patches (and someone reported a bug with 0.1 which is apparently leaving the dcon frozen..)

Re: debxo 0.1 release
I've added some features to debxo aka xodist; 1. caching of the kernel package, so that it does not need to be downloaded every time a build is done, 2. a KDE build, which yields a 520Mb JFFS2 image containing a complete KDE environment, 3. an LXDE build, which yields a 189Mb JFFS2 image, 4. support for local package caching proxy using approx, or one of the other apt proxy mechanisms. For example, to get Debian KDE onto an XO, here's how to do it: % git clone http://dev.laptop.org/~quozl/xodist.git % sudo ./initchroot.sh --package-list kde.packages kde.root % sudo ./mkjffs2.sh kde.root kde.img % sudo mv kde.img.crc kde.crc Copy the kde.img and kde.crc files to a thumb drive, boot an XO into OFW, then type: copy-nand u:\kde.img (This erases everything on the XO, you know.) -- To use approx to cache packages, a. install the approx package, % sudo aptitude install approx b. add the following lines to /etc/approx/approx.conf, and restart, debian http://http.us.debian.org/debian securityhttp://security.debian.org/ c. follow the same steps but add the --mirror option to the initchroot.sh script, like this, sudo ./initchroot.sh \ --package-list kde.packages \ --mirror http://localhost:/debian kde.root As a result of this, the hundreds of megabytes of packages will be kept locally for re-use. -- James Cameronmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://quozl.netrek.org/ ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

The q2e* series prior to e14 has bugs that will cause the image to not boot up (amongst other things). q2e14 should be fine, though. ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
Re: debxo 0.1 release [PATCH] cache downloaded kernel
Caches the downloaded kernel package in the current working directory,
and also resumes from where a previous interrupted download was up to.

debxo 0.1 release
Hi Andres, Congratulation for your work! I have reloaded the install procedure of the debxo image. So far, the image is installed and working out of the box. I have detailed a few steps of the procedure on the Wiki at olpc-france.org. See below: http://olpc-france.org/wiki/index.php?title=Explorations#Debian_sur_OLPC Bests Samy ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
debxo 0.1 release
Hi, For a while, I've been running Gnome and Debian on my XO. It's worked quite well, but installation has always been a pain. Some time ago I wrote scripts to generate ext3 and jffs2 images for the XO, but never got around to publish the images. I took some time over the past few days to clean things up, update them, and test. DebXO-0.1 allows you to install Debian (lenny) and Gnome easily on your XO. It's a bit rough around the edges, but it's perfectly usable (I'm typing this email from within claws on it). It can be downloaded from here: http://queued.mit.edu/~dilinger/debxo/ The git repository can be downloaded via: git clone git://queued.mit.edu/git/xodist/ Once you've downloaded the .img and .crc files, stick them onto a USB stick, boot into OpenFirmware, and run 'copy-nand disk:\debxo-0.1.jffs2.img'. Reboot, and everything should work. You'll automatically be logged in as user 'olpc'; there is no password on this account. Root logins are disabled. User 'olpc' is allowed to sudo. If you'd like to set a password for either account, switch to a tty (ctrl-alt-1, for example), log in with username 'olpc', and run 'sudo passwd '. I find it perfectly usable; with gnome running, I typically have 140MB of ram free. The two biggest memory hogs are epiphany (and other gecko-based browsers) and evince. DebXO includes links2 and xpdf, both of which make fine, low-memory alternatives (run 'links2 -g' for graphics). There are lots of bugs in this. Please don't report them right now, unless they are accompanied by fixes/patches/suggested workarounds. The ext3 image isn't ready for release due to kernel issues; it will be released later. Have fun! ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
