gbootroot

Author	SHA1	Message	Date
freesource	9de07f7f5e	This is the start of giving gbootroot some commandline functionality similar to bootroot, but more specific with the primary goal of allowing root_fs prototyping without the use of the GUI.	22 years ago
freesource	ab8f49d834	Just altered some text.	23 years ago
freesource	d97ed5d819	Fixed another non-fhs path issue when fooling around in mdk. # I always thought the BEGIN statements were executed before everything else, # but I have discovered that in this case it has to be placed before the # use statements if exec /usr/bin/gbootroot is done via $PATH .. I guess # that makes sense because $PATH is established in the BEGIN.	23 years ago
freesource	f2cfe39a9f	More credits.	23 years ago
freesource	beb2d088d1	Changes Liav related.	23 years ago
freesource	d813ad115d	This should fix the bug reported by Liav Asseraf. The main program was rearragned and put in BootRoot, but the BEGIN block which sets up the FHS for perl's INC was now in this file, so ofcourse, gbootroot couldn't find the modules.	23 years ago
freesource	d64bb295d3	Time to update.	23 years ago
freesource	ec4cf9f6a7	Added perl path and authors.	23 years ago
freesource	df3f36f9cc	Changed text for boot method, slight change in main file.	23 years ago
freesource	3bd440f5dd	Added my mother as patron to the project, because she always has been.	23 years ago
freesource	e39fbff6ee	Moved some text over here.	23 years ago
freesource	6a1bb9f9a3	This is the beginning of better symbol control, ars will be dispensed with. Basically gbootroot has just one function start() called from BootRoot. Eventually BootRoot will be split further into ARS and ABS. This makes more sense then having one large gbootroot .. it just grew too much.	23 years ago
freesource	16a076e283	This gets rid of the annoying perhaps you are not root for gdkbirdaao, and only tests if root and using a method which has lilo .. default if method hasn't been chosen.	23 years ago
freesource	4db5216447	Date change.	23 years ago
freesource	6d4c8ead9d	Got rid of the \.yard suffix rule, though template needs to be ^\w+, I never really documented this, and it may trick users who aren't aware of the rule.	23 years ago
freesource	568ff893ff	Adds symlinks for archictecture dependent repository direcotory.	23 years ago
freesource	2a2483ba7f	Some doc about error output spelling correction.	23 years ago
freesource	9496c72553	Updated the version number. At this point gbootroot is officially 1.3.0 having reached some milestones.	23 years ago
freesource	2536c2dd66	Changes have been removed and placed in their own file.	23 years ago
freesource	7ef6926d9c	Where to find the FAQ in help.	23 years ago
freesource	03022313bc	Made usize into set_default_size form uml_window.	23 years ago
freesource	c40e77276b	Changed the size of the box so that options and the root_fs have more room.	23 years ago
freesource	9d2ffa3a89	Added Esc close capability for save as.	23 years ago
freesource	830467df85	This removes -i8192 from genext2fs default, this just causes problems, the defaults built into genext2fs work alot better.	23 years ago
freesource	74e5270f06	$ENV{RELEASE} is now initialized every time a check is run on the template. Information can come from three sources, the kernel version returned from a selected kernel in the main section, the user defined kernel version in the ABS, or `uname -r`. User defined kernel version overrides the kernel. The root_fs needs to be built in relation to the actual kernel modules it will run on. Previously the $RELEASE value wasn't returned properly because of some bugs in kernel_version_check. This has been fixed.	23 years ago
freesource	d1cd32b44d	Only gives $mtab a value on cancel if it is a bootloader check.	23 years ago
freesource	306cbc8cd0	Turned off the busybox test.	23 years ago
freesource	44a5828e82	This solves the problem of extra devices in boot_device_table.txt	23 years ago
freesource	f4d63b90d9	This does a great job of prompting the user if they have root privileges for lilo, they may continue or stop the process. This uses mtab().	23 years ago
freesource	e507aa375e	This almost creates a successful normal user boot disk .. but doesn't find /dev/fd0 despite its existence. Also, rootdisk isn't created yet. Getting pretty close.	23 years ago
freesource	2eff37e59b	This makes the default replacement directory permanent, rather than calling it over and over again. Right, now busyboxes ldd is being used in Yard.pm for some experiments.	23 years ago
freesource	80cb0748bb	Added -z to genext2fs.	23 years ago
freesource	3015d7f233	Added -p to objcopy.	23 years ago
freesource	b22b1d9bee	Added -r0 to genext2fs default for non-root user. Now if a genext2fs would work for a non-root user, even though it appears exactly the same as the root_fs created by root with the same template .. it just doesn't work.	23 years ago
freesource	2b5179472b	Text additions.	23 years ago
freesource	6297583e9b	This puts the logic for the ARS device in the proper place in submit.	23 years ago
freesource	08b4a09338	Removed the commented out sections used to test.	23 years ago
freesource	338370c319	This does it! Now non-root users can create complete boot/root sets ..the only catch is lilo, but working that one out.	23 years ago
freesource	12807a509e	If the ARS is never opened, $entry_advanced[3] eq "", so now when $um == 0 it defaults to the value for BOOT_DEVICE.	23 years ago
freesource	b26efaef3b	This is better because it checks to see if the real device is mounted, ofcourse this is only necessary when lilo is used.	23 years ago
freesource	cde7f50f3f	Almost have genextfs done for boot, now just have to use a smaller kernel, and put everything somewhere else besides $mnt, so that lilo can do its thing on a real device assuming fstab is edited for a non-root user.	23 years ago
freesource	4592b76a91	This adds the -r option to depmod so that it doesn't complain for non-root users, which is cool.	23 years ago
freesource	905be9a57d	Now makes initrd as non-root user.	23 years ago
freesource	2924fdf6d6	Added explanation about LOGFILE .. error and info.	23 years ago
freesource	5dd1ff6f99	Explains error output for gbootroot.	23 years ago
freesource	770ee31a7c	Changed mind about 0444 for root, actually, the symlink provides the protection, and the permissions are necessary, too .. the original ones.	23 years ago
freesource	2f718bd0c8	Startin verbosity logging before user dir creation, since the subs require verbosity.	23 years ago
freesource	f9d75803d8	Although this should be done in the Makefile, 0444 is done on the replacements if root is running.	23 years ago
freesource	1c246541f2	All replacements are now symlinks, and they will also be read-only.	23 years ago
freesource	05da1a4a31	Changes to make $> > 0 happy.	23 years ago
