dCore Import Debian Packages to Mountable SCE extensions > dCore X86

dCore not usable on non linux filesystem when using the import command

tinypoodle:
In fact, all that matters wrt boot files is that the bootloader can access them, e.g. with pxelinux it would depend on server being capable to access boot files, or in case of lilo which is file system agnostic, filesystem may be irrelevant.

Damn! Today I created a dcore on a fat32 partitioned sd, I'll have to recreate it in ext2.
Effectively While I import wireless and wifi packages I noticed some permission errors, but I have to admit that it is strange because the distribution work and also connection.

What kind of problems I should have with the tce dir in a fat32 filesystem?

Jason W:
Given the permission needs of various apps and files, I would expect a lot of problems.

If the space needed for unpacking was not so great, then the unpacking could take place in RAM.  But with 2GB or more being standard RAM size, it may be feasible to have an option to unpack in RAM to allow non-linux filesystems to be used with dCore.  That would help folks with a Windows HD install and a fat32 usb stick as their only storage. 

This approach would make an unexpected system lockup due to lack of RAM possible, and would have to be used with caution.  I will ponder it.

vinnie:
Thanks Jason, I will make a small hypothesis, I do not know how the mergin script you created works, but if combine packets is less costly in terms of space, why not create small packets and then merge them?

Jason W:
Robert created the searching|fetching|merging, and everything is unpacked to one directory and then made to a squashfs sce.  At present with squashfs there is no way to do it in pieces.
