Thanks, fixing both.

Hi curaga
Near the end of 3.2:

This is what you would find were you to do a "make install
DESTDIR=/tmp/somewhere", with possibly documentation and
development headers split to other extensions, for lower overhead to
those who only want to use the extension.

Maybe something like:

Code: [Select]

You would find these under /tmp/somewhere/ were you to do
a "make install DESTDIR=/tmp/somewhere", ... Not trying to nitpick, just think it may make it a little clearer to someone less experienced.

[curaga]

Oh, any corrections are appreciated. Fixed this one.

Since it's text under git, patches welcome too

Hello Mr. Curaga!

I suggest a section (maybe in projects) about "The simplest/easyer way to..." and subtopics like "the simplest/easyer webserver", and fileserver, mediaserver (with minidlna) and so on... the KISS as possible solutions.

I could contribute with the webserver using the busybox-httpd but english is not my mother language, maybe the chapter will require some corrections after...

Another interesting thing could be the "DIY Desktop" part, when some of us could contribute explaining how to get to the desktop we uploaded a screenshot in the wiki! (how it was configured, with which extensions...)

I hope these ideas are interesting enought to go to the book.

[curaga]

Yep, the projects section is good for those kinds of solutions. If you're familiar with busybox httpd, please write about it.

I'm not sure a desktop showcase would work when printed in black and white, though.

Few chapters in today.

Great chapters Mr. Curaga!

Just, in the "1.9. The copy mode of operation: TCZ/install + copyfs indicator" the reader must want to know where to put the copy2fs.flg or the copy2fs.lst; what he must put inside it? Does it have to be backup'ed?

I'm still writing about busybox-httpd, will send to you ASAP.

Best regards!

The first chapter is an overview; the files will be covered in more detail later.

[curaga]

First remaster chapters in, please review.

Good job guys, coming along nicely

Hello:

You might want to consider to explain about "busybox", how similar and different it is, compared to the real utility. Especially, on how to configure each utility.

You might want to consider to explain about "busybox", how similar and different it is, compared to the real utility.

The fact that many of the commands included in busybox may come in a variety of other implementations does hardly make busybox less real...

[curaga]

I think covering busybox is out of scope.

I think covering busybox is out of scope.

However, it is one of the reason why TC is so tiny and strange.
There are too few examples on how to use busybox.
Eg 1: "wget" has no wgetrc
Eg 2: "vi" is even worse than the original nvi.
But yes, perhaps this suggestion should be addressed to the busybox developers.

Regards,
Rahmat.

Everyone, please suggest project chapters. Is there some setup you'd like detailed instructions to?

Mini-server? Personal cloud? Etc.
