ok just something with my ssh-keygen script is failing

cause its in rcS.d , maybe needs to be in rc3.d near the last

nsITobin: once this works i'll post it for you to check out

i can't wait to try it

and poke it

ahh var/tmp/random-seed is missing now

good job

:P

like just copying and pasting the commands from my docs

damn some FF'edup cookie data was screwing up yt-dlp

nsITobin: looks good... ln5.sync.com/4.0/dl/b6e0c5a40#c7jgvs37-9ndcbtm4-y3bm3baf-9dacvx8f

ok one bug... missing /var/lib/sshd ... but you can create and activate sshd

well might be a good idea to create a repo somewhere preferably not github cause banned where issues can be filed

you've achieved that much in my opinion

that it needs an issue tracker

i think its just i excluded {proc,dev,var} from the squashing , so its recreating the filesystem

maybe leave var

and be more selective

i just haveto rebuild the filesystem, the pitfalls from using the live system

if it wasn't live, it would be less of a problem

but atleast it has a web browser :)

had to rebuild the init script

ah

so i have a domain expiring soon i offered it to the cde people but not no reply.. it is commondesktop.org

what should I do with it

got ssh working

what you think of that welcome message ?

nice a new linux from scratch live iso

High memory

:P

nice

hate that console font tho .. anything more.. fixedsys around?

no networking but.. i.ibb.co/c7vtk6q/image.png

/etc/sysconfig/ifconfig is missing

but it boots and has that nice message and i like high memory

did you add a network card?

the setfont with /usr/share/consolefonts

to the vm?

it is there

ip link and what is shown?

ens33 alt name enp2s1

i set it up for enp0s1

i guess i need to create multiple sysconfig/ifconfig files?

well can't we use some logic to query ip link exclude lo and be all unix-y about it?

first non-lo interface gets autoconfiged

zedmatrix: reference 7.4.1.1 in lfs book

to disable persistant naming and just keep it simple eth0 wlan0

7.4 is chroot

7.4. Entering the Chroot Environment

hold on

fuckin google

ch9.4.1.1

The traditional naming scheme using eth0, eth1, etc. can be restored by adding net.ifnames=0 on the kernel command line.

yea i just have to dynamically create it before S20network starts

ok rebuilding the squashfs

other than testing is there anything i can do to assist you zedmatrix

lemme know what you think should be in it ?

i am still wondering if i want to try shrinking to a 650mb

how large is it flat file?

or rather on disk how large is it combined

its 1Gb

i would haveto look into stripping binarys/libraries in the squashfs

uncompressed

on disk

i mean

i have a copy will look for my self lol

zedmatrix: you know git-core is using like 2gbs in usr/libexec

all these git binaries are like 19 megs a piece

doesn

that seem a bit static compiled lol

cool the ifconfig made itself

python modules and locale are the big consumers in usr/lib

nothing seems insane in usr/bin

ok new iso with ifconfig... ln5.sync.com/4.0/dl/b6e0c5a40#c7jgvs37-9ndcbtm4-y3bm3baf-9dacvx8f

does.. any of that halp?

well some one might still need git for lib/firmware ?

just link to the tarball

wait

hmm maybe

zedmatrix: can you increase the grub timeout or just just disable the timeout... cause I can't react fast enough half the time to get vmware to grab focus .. not this second just whenever you do another pass

and my main monitor if i booted on metal takes so long searching for a singal and switching modes it would effectively be just the default choice as far as what I will see on my screen unless it reboots fast enough for the monitor not to do its annoying crap

amybe default to high memory ?

*maybe

or set it to 30 seconds

:P

yea stupid gpt set that default

least enough time to hit the keyboard to stop the timer

:)

neat it made ens33

what did you do?

ah

you did the try and guess thing

in the rc.d/init.d ... bpa.st/TEJQ

i found it

you got some errant spaces up in tthe comments that nano is being all colorful about

modern bindings?

i just read they existed not 2 days ago

yep enp is the new ethernet names eth0 is old

yeah but that isn't always a good thing

eth0 gets you SOME predictability if you only have one nic or just a nic and a wireless chip

or card

good for read-only environmens.. but if this works and works then it works

:)

ok complain to the linux devs :)

well its live, and you can edit and create files

you just cant wreck the iso

i just > rm -v /usr/bin/script* ... rebooted and magically they are back :)

nsITobin: yea maybe i went a bit crazy installing, chapter 9, has like 70 packages

also has mksquash

zedmatrix: yeah it's called organic systems design it expands contracts changes pulseates and pokes about..

tomorrow, gonna use it to build another limited sysv environment

and works out the best way

and see how small i can make it with just a minimum set of tools to build lfs
