Armijn Hemel c8b64ef689 we can safely use the stable version again 
svn path=/nixu/trunk/; revision=6680
 2006-10-08 22:05:06 +00:00
Armijn Hemel 62f61928e7 also copy a statically linked ncurses to the installer, so at least we get all the right terminfo thingies.

 2006-08-30 00:40:15 +00:00
Armijn Hemel e876f67580 pass nano. Not that it actually works, because it also needs ncurses for terminal information...

Armijn Hemel 1323e55ad3 remove the root(hd0,0) line, because it wasn't needed. At least, not in our 
situation. I don't know how it will it work with something like dual booting
and chain loading, so that is unsupported right now :P

 2006-08-27 22:18:39 +00:00
Armijn Hemel ddc27b2313 use "kernelscripts" package to install the kernel and extra modules. This is 
actually bad, because in theory a different kernel could be chosen to be
installed and then we could not load any modules...but even communism
works...in theory!

 2006-08-07 19:48:18 +00:00
Armijn Hemel 7e6a7d6418 rewrite to use busybox 
TODO: rewrite some of the tools to use the busybox tools instead of the "normal" utilities during installation, so we can shave off another 15 MB from the
installer

Armijn Hemel 2c87da322d use less packages 
svn path=/nixu/trunk/; revision=6024
 2006-08-02 22:34:13 +00:00
Armijn Hemel 45a2be1fbe also use our own cpio. Make sure we don't just query nix expressions, but 
actually realize them as well. D'oh!

Armijn Hemel c984b735bd also use mkisofs from Nixpkgs 
svn path=/nixu/trunk/; revision=5563
 2006-07-03 09:32:15 +00:00
Armijn Hemel e76efef0d0 make sure we always have mktemp, by building our own version first using Nix. 
This makes it a bit more pure to build the NixOS iso. Still room for improvement though...

Armijn Hemel 77b661cfab e2fsprogs dynamically loads some library, even if it's statically linked. 
svn path=/nixu/trunk/; revision=4505
 2006-01-07 15:42:59 +00:00
Armijn Hemel fe355bba78 replace a lot of tools we initially use with statically linked versions. 
This reduces the ramdisk installer size with a few megabytes when gzipped,
but with about 40 MB when unpacked in memory.

There are a few improvements possible:

- strip the binaries. This saves another few MBs.
- only copy the binaries we really need to /bin or /sbin. This could reduce
the size of the installer a lot, especially with util-linux, of which we
don't use that many tools at all.
- try to move some packages we link with glibc right now (like util-linux) to
dietlibc. This will not work for bash, already tried that.
- try to use busybox as a replacement for everything.

Armijn Hemel 142cef0a9e switch to dietlibc coreutils in the initrams. Use thit up until a certain point, after which we switch to the normal coreutils. Oh, this should really be refactored...

Armijn Hemel de289092b2 - various cleanups 
- have mingetty listen on tty2 (but this still fails because of missing /dev/log
- get rid of /init on the targetdrive, solely use /sbin/init (and even that has to go one day)
- use dietlibc statically linked e2fsprogs for the installer. More to come :)

1 - first build everything (nix-push)
2 - install everything on a seperate disk/machine (nix-pull)

device should be enabled on the host in order for the UML machine to

Eelco Dolstra 3514c5658b * Proper sysvinit boot/halt. At runlevel 2, creates login shells at 
virtual consoles 0 and 1.  To shutdown, do `init 0' (`halt' and
  `shutdown' don't work because they call /sbin/init).

Eelco Dolstra 1e87e75d07 * Use sysvinit's init to start the system. This has the happy 
side-effect of initialising the console properly (i.e., enabling
  Ctrl-[C, Z]).
