...I've put the initramfs files online: http://porteus-arm.googlecode.com/files/initramfs_rawfiles.tar.gz Thanks! ...test out compressing my ARM modules with lzo compression rather than xz. The modules would be larger in size but lzo seems to have a lower processor overhead for decompressing, which...

Hi Ahau, testing your ARM version I was deeply impressed: SPLENDID work :good: I would like to port it to Cubox and Cubieboard , as these devices include an SATA port. It shouldn't be a problem to build the Porteus kernel for those devices but I have no clue how to include the initramfs... Once it i...

Hi Fanthom, ...it's hard to convince Tomas to anything... I've made the experience, that he has changed his mind in some areas ;) It was fairly easy to convince him to (improve and) use zram. Same was with my detection scripts for Poulsbo chipsets. Even while he invented dynfilefs , at the end he in...

We can mount an iso from a web page without downloading it

Good find!

Nevertheless this is possible with httpfs since Slax-6.0.0 and from then was used to run Slax or mount modules via the web

@brokenman: This is totally OT but some members depending on their member category maybe feeling offended by your signature... How do i become super user ? Wear your underpants on the outside and put on a cape ... Porteus admins should definitely think about changing the star beneath http://porteus....

Hi all, long time no post ;) Preparing the next FluxFlux version I have integrated zram (successor of compcache) in linuxrc. zram explained: ...creates a RAM based block device which acts as a swap disk, but is compressed and stored in memory instead of swap disk (which is slow), allowing very fast ...

How did you manage the changes concerning /dev/loop => /dev/loop-control ?

If I remember right, we will have to change handling of using/creating/freeing loops completely...

Hi Brokenman, great work :good: :Yahoo!: :Bravo: Testing the iso there is an error opening konqueror for webbrowsing: Could not start process Unable to create io-slave: klauncher said: Error loading 'kio_http'. I think this is due to the fact that you have used some 12.2 libs... (could you name the ...

are you planing to do the same?

Definitely!

When I'm finished with the repo preparations for FluxFlux-2011.1, I will test my backport of xz and squashfs to the 2.6.32.27 lts kernel.

Hi Fanthom, you should use busybox 1.0.19 from git: root@fluxflux: /mnt/sdb4/busybox # ./busybox --help BusyBox v1.19.0.git (2011-01-21 19:23:25 CET) multi-call binary.

...I think we can change "LZM" to "XZM", because it's not first time to change extension we converted "MO" to "LZM" before on old slax, also we convert slackware "TXZ" to "LZM" currently... Remembering my struggle with Tomas concerning lzmo/lzm, I'm glad that now there is a chance to make it transp...

maybe you didn't store the ISO image in the root of the device given ???
