Where is the create_modules script ?
Posted: 02 Feb 2011, 12:48
Hello,
I have a slight misunderstanding-problem concerning making modules.
I'm downloading txz-modules and I am using the script "txz2lzm" to convert txz modules to porteus-(64bit)-compatible lzm modules.
So far so good - it works fine under porteus, but I actually also have another computer with the "old" slax-remix v09 running on it, and when I try to use the "txz2lzm" script it fails.
I investigated the cause of failure: It was one line in the /usr/bin/txz2lzm-script :
create_module $TMPDIR "$2" -> the script "create_module" is missing in slax-remix v09.
So far so good.
Now, I formatted another USB-stick and switched to the "proper" latest porteus.
I used "txz2lzm" again, now it worked. I thought I should search for the "create_module" script that is called from the "txz2lzm" script.
Much to my surprise, I could not find anywhere on the file system any file called "create_module" - thus I am puzzled: Where is the "create_module" script in porteus? I cannot find it... ?
I wanted to add it back to the old slax-remix v09 version, that's why I ask.
Can you help me in finding the "create_module" script and tell me any steps necessary to add it to some old slax-remix v09 version?
Thanks for your help!!
