Re: LiveCD status request
Hi Jeremy, good to hear that the CD-project will get a bit pushed... On Wednesday 04 July 2007 23:38, Jeremy Huntwork wrote: I'd appreciate an update on its status from anyone in the know.

I got an (old) IBM-RS6000 (43p-150) and had a huge trouble to boot it with a Linux-CD. Finally it worked with a OpenSuSE-10.2-Mini-PPC. The biggest challange was to get the system installed that at least the ssh daemon becomes operational. Than i could use ssh for doing cLFS. Until this moment, I had to use my Lappy connected to the RS6000 by serial cable (for the serial console). Ever tried to run Yast2 via serial console? Hahaha... Btw, it seems that the graphic cards (GXT3000, GXT2000) are mostly unusable by Linux :-( Long story, short nice-to-have: Please add serial-console-support (if not builtin yet) Cheers, Thomas -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page

Besides, there is no non-x86 support in trunk. -- Alexander E.

LiveCD status request
Hello Everyone, Just a small hello and a request for some info. After a much-needed break, I have a bit more free time this summer and I'd like to do some work on the LiveCD. I've scanned through my LFS emails (although there's about 1700 of them waiting for me, so it might take a while to get through all of them), and it seems that there's not much development on the CD these days. Is that right? I'd appreciate an update on its status from anyone in the know. Also, if there are any suggestions/ideas on what could make the CD (as a project or the individual ISOs) more useful, I'd love to hear them. I'm hoping to spend some real time on it in the upcoming weeks, so any feedback would be very helpful. Sorry for the cross-posting, but I figured this might make a good opportunity for those who are interested in the CD but perhaps not enough to subscribe to its dev-list to make their thoughts known. Thanks! -- JH -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
