RE: [leaf-devel] flash usb
Natanael All, Agree about what? (sorry, I have given up to scroll up and down trying to follow what people are talking about when somebody top-post. I follow more than one mailing list...) The more LPR pacakges we can fit on the image the better :-) I don't really see the point in using images? Agreed - however - the folks on this list are most likely not the target audience for a USB STICK image. It's just, hmmm, service to new Leaf users (or to more experienced ones) who, sort of anyways, expect it to be fast easy to get things started. I mainly use CF's myself. Why not only copying all files over, run syslinux and reboot? That more or less how I created my image :-) And that is an options that is open to anyone allready. Maybe we should just add a section on this in the documentation as well. Mike - can one just send you a plain text file with the content for such a section? I never got your stick.img to boot. How interresting. I got it to work on several machines now. Including my mother in law's PC :-) I have, however, experienced this on a machine that have SCSI / USB reader connected and where the SCSI / USB reader ports get get a lower number than the USB stick (f.ex the USB reader become SDA). This is actually a little issue. I guess it's a matter of figuring out where in line the USB stick is and give change the syslinux.cfg / leaf.cfg BUT - that means that the stick image will not work on all machines.

Just to see how that work out. More for my own curiousity than anything else. You might want to check out the ub usb driver as well. You don't need the scsi subsystem for using the ub driver so its smaller. According the documentation the ub driver might be slower but should work on more devices. I've ordered a 256Mb Stick as well. When that stick arrive I'll also note down the pysical geometry of all my sticks to see if the match up. If they do, I'll go ahead and see if I can create an generic image for the sticks. If that works OK I guess a small change to the create scripts can fix it all. I don't really see the point in using images? Why not only copying all files over, run syslinux and reboot? When you are dealing with new USB sticks, that should be enough. They ship them partitioned and formatted with vfat. (fat32 is AFAIK backward compatible with fat16 so even if your driver only support fat16 it should work). Take look how I did on Alpine. http://alpine.cinematicnetworks.com/downloads/alpine/v0.0/iso/alpine-0.0.4-2 0060124.iso It's an bootable cdrom iso, but just copy all the files (on the iso image) to your new 256MB USB stick, run syslinux (syslinux /dev/uba1 or syslinux /dev/sdX1 where X is the letter for your usb drive) and reboot. If you have already destroyed your MBR on the USB stick (using tools like dd) then run: dd if=/usr/lib/syslinux/mbr.bin of=/dev/uba (or sda or whatever your usb device is) If you use an older computer that does not support boot from USB, then create a floppy using the floppy/usb.img. Boot from the floppy with the USB stick inserted. FYI. I never got your stick.img to boot. First I got the same no operating system message as previously mentioned.

What I would do to make an image: Use dd to create an appropriately sized blank file (perhaps 4-8 Meg). Mount the filesystem as a loop-back device. Partition the lo device with an HDD partition table (4 main partitions). Create a bootable partition in the first primary parition. Install LRP files from an appropriate image Install desired boot loader (I'm partial to grub for this sort of thing, and it would allow using EXT3, but syslinux, lilo, or most anything should work as well). dd the image to a USB dongle.

Thanks for all your feedback on this issue. :-) https://sourceforge.net/docs/E09#scripts https://sourceforge.net/project/admin/svn.php?group_id=13751 It doesn't look like there's a lot of choice for hook scripts. If we enable anything, the most useful is probably the generic e-mail hook (svnnotify). It would be good for general principal to have a 'commits' mailing list, that would receive posts from the svnnotify script (and that anyone could subscribe to). It would also be possible to setup some automation based on the e-mails (ie: automatically re-build documentation if someone commits an update), although I'm not sure we need to go to the hassle. We have a cvs-commits list. Would svn require a separate list, or can it coexist with cvs syncmail? I'd send it to the same list. Charles, SVN svnnotify hook added, and now points to leaf-cvs-commits. Awesome!
