Ready-made initrd setup?

2002-11-29 Thread Kai Großjohann
I've read the howto on initrd, and it looks fascinating. But it also looks intimidating to set it all up from scratch. So maybe someone else has done it already? I'm using sarge and I'd like to use initrd to be able to boot the same kernel on different hardware. So, for example, I don't need to

Abstain from bringing eth0 up on boot? (cf. laptop-net)

2002-11-28 Thread Kai Großjohann
I installed laptop-net, and it appears that this will bring up an interface when I plug in a cable. So I'm thinking that it's not necessary to bring up eth0 on boot -- laptop-net will take care of that. So I commented out the "auto eth0" statement in /etc/network/interfaces, but it seems that eth

Automatic creation of VMware kernel modules?

2002-11-26 Thread Kai Großjohann
When building a new kernel (with make-kpkg) I always forget to also build new VMware kernel modules. It would be easy to put make-kpkg and vmware-config.pl into a script, but that is not enough: we have multiple machines using the kernel package I thus create. Therefore, we need to find a way to

Maintain X11 config with CFengine?

2002-11-17 Thread Kai Großjohann
We use CFengine to maintain the configuration of our machines. It's great stuff. Now, one possibility for CFengine to manage the XF86Config would be to just copy or edit the file. But it occurred to me that it might be better to just maintain the answers asked by debconf. Do you think that migh
