Re: Need advice LFS or buildroot - the maturity of tools ?
I would go with buildroot. Sometimes you may hit compilation problems, but usually, switching to a different version of gcc, binutils or kernel (or a different version of the buildroot itself), fixes it.

I have used buildroot few times for several targets (PowerPC and ARM) and it seems to be a mature tool.

Hi friends, I need to make customized and small linux installation for i686 processor but with only 64M disk available. I tried some automated tools from LFS site ( Linux from scratch) then buildroot and was stuck with errors I had not time to dig in. Please share you experience with such tools.

Re: Interrups statistic - "sar" vs. "mstat"
Yeah - that's standard behavior to print the average since boot when running these commands without an interval, and the first line of output when specifying an interval.

Re: rdesktop hebrew keyboard question
I thought about this solution. My problem is that I want to use on
both the ALT shift combination to change language. I wish rdesktop had
some "raw" keyboard support..

Look for rdesktop stderr output - rdesktop can't map the Hebrew
characters from the local system. Make sure to always use English
keyboard layout at the host, and if the local and the remote both use

Re: rdesktop hebrew keyboard question
Nope, both the "." and the "/" gives me "ץ" and on top of that, the Q gives me "," and the "W" gives me "." - like the ancient old hebrew keyboard.. The "fun" part is that if I restart the rdpclient again (not always), the keyboard behavior is going back to normal.. weird..

According to my keyboard layout, you seem to be shifted one key left.
I have nekuda on "/", "ץ" on ".", and "ת" on ","
Where is your "צ"?

rdesktop hebrew keyboard question
Hi,
I'm using rdesktop 1.5.0 (latest) and I found a weird behavior:
when using the standard en-us keyboard layout, it works ok, but trying
to press the hebrew DOT ("nekuda") gives "ץ". When trying the comma,
I'm getting "ת".
the he keyboard layout works nice, but I cannot switch back to english
(using left alt-shift keys) and I cannot type english letters (unless
I'm using capital letters)
Could someone shed some light about this issue?
thanks,
Hetz

Found a solution. >From http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=11685 I noticed that I also have such errors in the boot sequence: XENBUS: Device with no driver: device/vbd/51712 XENBUS: Device with no driver: device/vbd/51744 XENBUS: Device with no driver: device/vif/0 So I followed the instructions there (only I did this in chroot on the xen host, so "uname -r" had to be replaced with the explicit kernel version). It didn't work for the later kernel (2.6.18-53.1.14.el5) but with the older one (2.6.18-53) it allowed the guest to boot. The actualy mkinitrd command which did the trick was: mkinitrd --omit-scsi-modules --with=xennet --with=xenblk --preload=xenblk /boot/initrd-2.6.18-53.el5xen.img 2.6.18-53.el5xen (after moving aside the original initrd file). I forced a re-install of the newer kernel (just erased it and did "yum update") and I still get this XENBUS error but it boots fine. Go figure. BTW, to be able to do that from the xen host, I made a couple of scripts: setup: #!/bin/sh -ve kpartx -a /dev/xen02/reece-test vgchange -ay reecetest mount /dev/reecetest/root /mnt/tmp mount /dev/mapper/reece-test1 /mnt/tmp/boot/ mount -o bind /dev /mnt/tmp/dev mount -o bind /proc /mnt/tmp/proc mount -o bind /sys /mnt/tmp/sys and teardown: #!/bin/sh -ex umount /mnt/tmp/boot/ umount /mnt/tmp/dev umount /mnt/tmp/proc umount /mnt/tmp/sys umount /mnt/tmp vgchange -an reecetest kpartx -d /dev/xen02/reece-test Which I plan to keep around as they are useful to do all sorts of stuff with xen image LVM's. The LV itself (/dev/xen02/reece-test) contains a partition table with one boot partition and another partition with one large LV on it.
