you should fire up a vm to test the / use :)

nsITobin: you know the number of times i have copy and pasted the vkfs/chroot/ unmount i couldof just made a single script :)

hmm now i gotta check out man grep to help my http nano colorizer

"http nano colorizer"?

yea in nanorc to highlight a url between =[https://] .... color cyan "(https?|ftp)://[^\s\]]+"

btw like you .. i can get majorly distracted as well LOL

i started with the sh.nanorc and been tweaking it to zbc.nanorc

ax562: sup?

sup zedmatrix? My bad, in the middle of a study.

nice

i have been fighting with a nanorc regex

bbl

ax562: i am building a new squashfs, that version i think has too much, and maybe i can shrink it to cd size

cool, I just dd it onto a flash drive and it looks OK.

Should I wait to try out your new version?

I'm in the middle of a few things and probably wont be able to test drive it until tomorrow or Mon.

Super interesting though. Never seen a squashfs in a bootable flash drive :)

gentoo has it in there min iso, but there is no build environment til you extract their stage3

also kinda fun using just the lfs tools to build it

well ive burned it to a dvd and used it to build off of 2x

Did you use squashfs for the small size capabilities or did you just wanted to try it out?

kinda both

Quick note: GCC15 causes many breakages when building, since by defaulting to C23, `type function()` definitions no longer assume arbitrary amount of arguments, but *zero*, causing errors on a few packages like `bash` and `make`.

yea thats why for my iso project i am using GCC 14.2.0

It's doable, but reuqires some environemnt variables.

nsITobin: i finally wrote a chroot script gitlab.com/zed-linuxfromscratch/liv…/main/zlfs-chroot.sh?ref_type=heads

that's some nice coding there.. seems very close to what I wrote LOL.. uhh MIT licence..

k?

i want to make my default licence just MIT .. as much as I love the MPL .. i don't love mozilla anymore

yea i liked your function names

but i also added the sys/efi one if some one follows the blfs - grub root early

I made a similar, but shorter script

i figure i might as well finally make one script instead of 3

well the script i wrote was based on the lfs book but setup to run dnf installroot for fedora and other redhat based disasters i mean distributions

then i made it conditional for that OR lfs

now it is just for lfs again

lol

yea there is arch-chroot > github.com/archlinux/arch-install-scripts/blob/master/arch-chroot.in

here is the linuxnt version of the script with the dnf installroot bit if it is /mnt/sysroot dpaste.org/P0Wj3

zedmatrix SuperPizza

based on the lfs book and glacion.com/2019/06/16/Fedora.html but i eliminated the systemd nspawn bs part

pretty simple when you eliminate installing their kernel, grub, and initramfs

I use a qcow2 image to store the being-built system

i do more cleanroom or clean build proceedures when i share for dist.. for me.. fuck it, we're doin it live!

I can just copy the imaghe as a backup

preferably with zedmatrix's new livecd

;)

modprobe nbd --max-part=8; qemu-nbd --connect=/dev/nvd0 /path/to/lfs.qcow2; sudo mount ...

SuperPizza: I am also invested in windows imaging technology.. wim files.. as well in rpm.. and basically being a twisted computer fundamentalist dos/nt user

:D

you need 8 partitions :)

no, 3; ESP, root, swap. For now atleast

i just use this> sudo modprobe nbd nbds_max=2 max_part=4

sure

modprobe.. everyone should build their own kernel and everyone should build modules into the kernel imo

And I'm not doing LFS the easy weay...

its just so easy to just fire up qemu , instead of building on a loop device

... because I replace a few packages with alternatives.

yea

Ever thought of NOT using Glibc?

You'll get it done, with minor changes, until you touch Systemd.

that might be a good root maybe for a live iso

maybe use sys-v

But Udev?

Okay, there's eudev too

maybe rc ?

Yes, I'm attempting to make a working LFS uner Musl. And some other bits

maybe i should use include... du -h --max-depth=1 --exclude=/{dev,home,media,mnt,proc,run,sources,srv,sys,tmp,var,zbuild} / so far 4G no strip

I know Alpimne and stuff exists (which is helpful)

hmm there is our culprit... 1.9G /usr/libexec/gcc

Wow

`strip` that

that is gcc 14.2

probably a ton of debuginfo there

oops should run 8.85 clean up first

I don't havbe Python... oops

omg 123M /usr/libexec/gcc

what about mdev? or mdevd?

the only thing I want from the creator of systemd.. is pulseaudio

that thing people are replacing with rust

pulseaudio is a good program

well made and works well

not had any issues

.. one of the few things not to have one issue whatsoever

ahh its part of busybox

maybe thats y gentoo has busybox in their live

mdevd just listens to the netlink

ok gcc still works, just built which

i might rip the code from skalibs that mdevd needs and have it actually be a self contained project

when i get around to it

hmm it can handle hotplug too

I shrunk my 4.8G image to *only* 1012MiB!

Hmmm

imagine if you use sqauashfs

the lfs root = 2.2G

After some playing around, 991MiB without resizing the main part!

Sorry, it's still resized

992MiB when restored

♥

hmm looks like mdevd uses a destdir install method too

hmm found some more trimming 163M /usr/share/doc

hmm interesting adding chroot detection to .bashrc

damn i always get ln backwards

ln -sf real path/link, i know it's weird

yea i keep mixing up the target and link name

cool i dont think i need the libpng patch

I'm now running GCC testsuite...

forget that.

heh

sorry i been trying to ttake care of a dying cat that is what I been distracted with last few days

I can't compile GDBM-1.25 because of C extension conflicts. POSIX_SOURCE is required for `ssize_t`, but `XOPEN_SOURCE` or GNU/BSD_SOURCE is required for `realpath`. They are mutually exclusive.

(I'm using Musl if you don't know)

i know malina is big on musl , when around
