Empty Crust RC is up.

[Pizzasgood]

Well that isn't good

Hmmm.... Well, for the fstab stuff, does that work for you in a normal Puppy? The last time I checked, fstab wasn't persistant. Unless you have an hd install.
I only use livecd, though. I just put a script in rc.local to add entries to it and mount them.

I know nothing about swap, though. I do have a swap partition for Vector, but I don't know if Puppy uses it or not. I've never told it to though. I should look into that.

I'm going to take a look at the rc.reboot problem, then. If nothing else, it will force me to burn a couple extra isos, which will make sure my patched burniso2cd works.

Hopefully these are just crusty problems and not part of the mainline.

yes i have a crust harddisk install, and yes my fstab is persistant, but does not get "executed" or however i can say them...

i need to check if this is the same with standard puppy hdinstall...

for now i must allways manually mount and undmount verything...

Fstab is not editable.
I gave you a link for a tool for automatic mount/unmount some days ago: http://www.murga.org/~puppy/viewtopic.php?p=35173#35173

i'm aware about this tool, but i have a harddiskinstall..

my ftsab is writable, and the entryes also persists after reboot, but the entries are not used why ever...

i think the problem with the reboot script is because the tmp folder gets deleted/cleaned after the rc.reboot file is copied to it, as far as i saw in the init scripts... this is perhaps a race-condition or something...

there is never a rc.reboot in the tmp folder in a hdinstall

perhaps im to stupid but i tell it too you like it is/ like i see it

ah,ok,that explains some things...

If you make changes to the /etc/rc.d/rc.reboot -scripts, are those also not executed?

try to add these lines to
/usr/X11R6/bin/fvwmpoweroff
and
/usr/X11R6/bin/fvwmreboot

after the part where X was killed

Code: Select all

#-- add some commands to be executed before shutdown
#adsl-stop
sync

#-- unmount all drives in /mnt
cd /
ls /mnt | while read m;do
umount "/mnt/$m" 2>/dev/null
done

umount /usr

But I did not try it yet.

Huh. I thought I put the tabbed Dillo into Empty Crust. But this is the normal Dillo. The burniso2cd script worked, though. I also came up with an, uh, interesting background last night. It's amazing what a sleep deprived brain using Gimp can do. 128*128, and tileable. I think it was 4k. I'm going to maybe make another with fewer colors too. But first, I'm going to get Tabbed Dillo back. I've been using it with those essays I've been writing all week, and those tabs were handy.

Pizzasgood, can you post a HowTo of what optimisations you made exactly to get your EmptyCrust?
This would be good as a guide for those doing similar things & also help to see where introduced bugs (if any) came from...

e.g. my list is available at:

Thanks a lot,

Sure. That was my plan anyways, so I wouldn't have to have people asking me if I removed this or that. There's already a list of what was removed for the RC in the directory with the iso and checksum. Once I get done with the final, I'll update it if necissary, and write up what else I did.
