(like upgrade but without trying to save etc. * Add option to setls0urce menu to look in an already-mounted (local) directory. Change `local fs' option to say umounted local fs. * Change extract_file() to check that a tarball actually exists and give an explicit non-curses warning if it doesn't. (see above.) * GNU tar returns a successful status if its gunzip child dies. Add short sleep() after tar commands in case of undetected errors. * Change set-source selection code (except FTP, floppy) to check that the mandatory set files (base.tgz, etc.tgz) exist in the selected directory. If they don't, warn the user and prompt the user to change the selected directory. Give the user the option to explicitly continue even if base.tgz or etc.tgz not found, just in case. * Change extract_file() to keep count of set unpacks that succeeded or failed. (Unreliable, given the broken return status of gnu tar.) Warn the user if there are errors and abort the installation/upgrade if we find any. Does at least catch Ctrl-C interrupts of unpacking. * Make unwind_mounts() signal-safe. * Sense of target_verify_* is broken. Replace with predicates that return 1 iff the file or directory exists. * Fix upgrade tests for existing etc.old (see above) before saving target /etc as /etc.old. * Other detail fixes. |

Subject: New ramdisk, tiny shell, etc.
[ edited since the original mail ]
As part of my efforts to build a RAM-disk root kernel for the
sun3 port, I've developed some things that others may want:
New RAM-disk: [ see sys/dev/ramdisk.c ]
New "small/tiny" tools, to replace some of the larger
programs that one usually wants on a ramdisk root:
ssh: (small shell)
* Consumes only about 8K of memory on an m68k!
(saves about 100K in the ramdisk...)
* Can run programs, possibly with I/O redirection
* Just enough to let you run the programs needed
while partitioning and copying miniroot to swap.
tls: (tiny ls)
* Consumes only about 4K of memory on an m68k!
(saves about 10K in the ramdisk...)
* Long format only, nothing fancy.
Also, in the new "src/distrib/utils" area, I've made build
directories for some programs that build smaller versions,
usually by adding special CFLAGS
init_s: (built with -DLETS_GET_SMALL)
* Forces single-user mode
* Eliminates unnecessary code
libhack: small implementation of some libc functions
* Needs only /etc/passwd (not pwd.db, spwd.db)
* Reduces size of an m68k crunched binary by about 64K
x_dd: built with -DNO_CONV (no conv=* options)
x_ifconfig: supports inet only
The x_ prefix on the above is to make the names unique so
crunchgen will not confuse them with the real sources.
