freesource	f7921951e1	This keeps a nice size ration for $mtd_total_size, and automatically checks if the root_fs is real.	23 years ago
freesource	9de4fc1d56	Remembers state for the new mtd emulation.	23 years ago
freesource	896f2a9519	Added cad "Ctrl-Alt-Del" to mconsole interface, and documented it. Now looks for mconsole at both old location /tmp/uml/$umid/mconsole and new location $ENV{HOME}/.uml/$umid/mconsole.	23 years ago
freesource	93b5f23410	Now files for uml_exclusively are made in create_expect_uml which is effectively known as the create stage. This avoids the unecessary previous requirement of having to select the copy stage again just to create a file for /dev/ubd/0. The file created is sparse, got this idea from a discussion Jeff had with a user on uml-user.	23 years ago
freesource	d2fb7540f3	This adds jffs/jffs2 construction, expect_uml will have to be changed a little bit more, but have tested this with an initrd, and it works pretty nicely even with large fs assuming mem is set high enough. Mtdram was chosen over blkmtd for now.	23 years ago
freesource	504e8545a2	1.3.5 release.	23 years ago
freesource	bcef76cf23	Changes, and soon to come changes.	23 years ago
freesource	4c0f4bed1b	More stuff.	23 years ago
freesource	f8dd8a139d	More stuff.	23 years ago
freesource	7b9f4d2d20	A little bit more about the fhs change.	23 years ago
freesource	59c296ac23	The newest bf.	23 years ago
freesource	5f7d6c8941	Improved Replacements Box GUI.	23 years ago
freesource	77f64443e3	Getting ready for another release. During the boot stage the filsystem type was used to determine whether to use the genext2fs (non-root) method or the normal method used by root. Now the user type is used, this is better because it prevents conflicts if a different filesystem type is chosen, or if a non-root user changes to a different filesystem type in the filesystem box and forgets to change back to genext2fs; however, it prevents root from using the genext2fs method, which isn't a problem. The sudo requirement for lilo is too much of a requirement, and will be changed in future versions.	23 years ago
freesource	fb9b3ed43b	Fixed another non-root boot/root bug. The info had it correct, but the actual copy with genext2fs was being done from the wrong location. This has been fixed.	23 years ago
freesource	b14a469786	Had some testing code which was providing the wrong value for $compress, this made non-root booting fail for bzip2 because bunzip2 didn't exist in the initrd.	23 years ago
freesource	6dbb2d58c7	Added another technique in the FAQ to show how space can be saved on the root_fs by using the libraries from the initrd. Liav instigated this by asking a question related to FAQ question 14, "So if I understand correctly, it is not possible to copy libc from /dev/ram0 to /dev/ram1 before mounting /dev/ram1 as / ? Liav pointed out how Yard can make boot/root floppies with a compressed root filesystem. Edited FAQ question 13 to correctly reflect how gz compressed root filesystems may be booted without an initrd.	23 years ago
freesource	8cac3030ca	State is saved for the Compression off check box and the Root Filename save check box.	23 years ago
freesource	b8ad37acb1	The UML Kernel entry box in the ARS remembers state now.	23 years ago
freesource	769e0b8200	Changed the behavior of save_as so that when compression is chosen, the entry won't be the same as that found in Root Filename, but instead reflects the newly compressed file. This change was precipitated by the previous change to the Accept behavior.	23 years ago
freesource	85d68f60ef	Spelling fix.	23 years ago
freesource	b588ae2e09	function to function call.	23 years ago

freesource	68b92580ba	Why the last change was a good one.	23 years ago
freesource	110b8937d1	Changed the UML boxes Options entry tooltips, but makes me wonder whether the behavior originally cited may be a good idea?	23 years ago
freesource	fe313e798e	Last changes before 1.3.1 release.	23 years ago
freesource	3d59037979	About the mconsole changes.	23 years ago
freesource	209f162b71	Added a new stage button in the Yard Box called Copy. Create is now Copy, and the uml_exclusively and genext2fs behavior are handled by Create, this is much nicer because a new filsystem type can be created without having to wait for everything to be copied again to the sources directory.	23 years ago

freesource	af71249d42	Removed $Id from one of the mentioned changes because it was being expanded. :)	23 years ago
freesource	58e7a202da	Made the termcap check just a warning if terminfo or termcap don't exist, If a terminfo directory is found, linux will need to exist or the test will return error. This is better because the root filesystem can still work if this information doesn't exist. A minority of gettys will fail if they use termcap or terminfo, but this check was removed from the chrooted tests several months ago for the reason just cited. Note: check_getty_type_call was removed from Yard.pm, but exists in chrooted tests without the termcap check. Also, added a close which was missing.	23 years ago
freesource	a9cee74c7e	More changes.	23 years ago
freesource	b252b79926	Decided to move Changes out of gbootroot into its own file, getting to large, and takes to long to format.	23 years ago
