Change log for v2.5rc2:
* Updated tce-setup with single end call to depmod and ldconfg, and startup scripts.
* Updated tce-load with flag to skip depmod, ldconfig, startup script execution while booting.
* Updated tce-update now supports query mode and user selectable deployment.
Notes:
The first two changes above allow for much improved boot times.
tce-update now allows one to "check for updates" by use of the query option.
It also support three levels of batch extension update deployment.
The safest is to perform updates by rebooting with "base norestore
text" (this is as it was).
The second way is to exit to system prompt and type
sudo tce-update, then use the 'force' option. This allows use of extension required network which can be most helpful while still minimizing conflicts with currently running (in use) extensions.
The third way is to run it from within an X desktop by way of using the 'force' option. Warning, there is no test for currently running extensions and the possibility of system hangs or corruption. YMMV.
There is an updatd wbar.tcz for microcore users.
