microcore_v2.8rc4

<< < (3/4) > >>

roberts:
After heavy testing, I have found a couple anomalies, ok bugs.
One having to do with some dependencies getting listed in onboot.lst
The second having to do with existing dependencies in optional, but currently not used (loaded), not loading when a new extension is downloaded in install mode that requires such.

Both have been addressed in microcore_2.8rc4a.iso now posted!
The distribution file microcore.gz has also been posted.

That is certainly an option, although there are occasions when I need to replace Xvesa with Xfbdev.

there is always something which is not clear for me; here my setup:

bootline

mylist.lst

kmaps.tcz
bash.tcz

onboot.lst

with this setup, mc loads correctly directly in X without evilwm; i have to issue 'sudo tce-setup' in order to get evilwm to work, what is expected;

now, if i add 'base' in my bootline (without changing anything else), i am booting mc CLI without the *.core.gz initramfs loaded; this is ok and expected; but i don't have kmaps.tcz and bash.tcz loaded either which are in mylist.lst; why? what i am doing wrong? i have expected that booting mc with 'base' and 'lst=mylist.lst' would give me mc CLI with kmpas.tcz and bash.tcz loaded

helander:
I think base means do not load any extensions from onboot.lst or any explictly given .lst file as a boot option. What you could do is to create a base.lst that contains the extensions you regard as your base and then specify that base.lst is used in case you want your own "base" to be activated.

alu:
reading the log of rc4, i thought mylist.lst was made for that, i.e. boot mc CLI with apps you want to have at CLI, but without initramfs; i can always have my base mc CLI without any 'base.lst' file, only by writing commands in bootlocal.sh; then if i want X, i can load tce-setup (that's why onboot.lst is useful for me), and other apps can be loaded by scripts - this makes mylist.lst not useful for me, i think.
