  cool fun writing sysv init scripts :)
• 04:24
  zedmatrix
  ax562: it boots, and with a bit of sysv script writing got sshd working
• 04:24
  ax562
  oh super nice!
• 04:25
  ax562
  did you post the sysv script on your git?
• 04:28
  zedmatrix
  just did now github.com/zedmatrix/ZBuild-System/tree/main/LFS-gcc15-musl
• 04:28
  zedmatrix
  under stage4
• 04:29
  zedmatrix
  and using skarnet's libs + mdevd
• 04:31
  zedmatrix
  its kinda funny ... gotta relearn how to use linux, there is like no easy functions like systemctl
• 04:32
  zedmatrix
  hmm the grub.cfg resized my qemu window from 800x600 to 1024x768
• 04:35
  ax562
  yeah, I was interested because I'm not sure I have ever personally configured sshd on sysv.
• 04:36
  zedmatrix
  i guess i couldof used the lfs-bootscripts and modified them for mdevd
• 04:36
  zedmatrix
  but boots fast
• 04:37
  ax562
  yeah, allegedly systemd was suppose to be "faster" than sysv but it's always been slower for me
• 04:37
  ax562
  *at boot
• 04:40
  zedmatrix
  loads too many things
• 04:40
  zedmatrix
  this is like bare minimum
• 04:42
  ax562
  your iso was really quick
• 04:42
  ax562
  makes me want to build sysv :p
• 04:43
  zedmatrix
  i should rsync this FS since its built for only /dev/sda1
• 04:44
  zedmatrix
  surprising not too many bumps with using musl
• 04:45
  zedmatrix
  i couldn't believe that the linux-6.6.39 source dir took up almost 4G
• 04:48
  zedmatrix
  but using -Os seemed to trim the FS down to 1.4G
• 04:49
  ax562
  -Os optimize switch?
• 04:52
  zedmatrix
  yea in cflags and cxxflags
• 04:52
  ax562
  that's a huge difference
• 04:52
  zedmatrix
  i haven't run any stripping either
• 04:54
  zedmatrix
  i also set my inittab to auto login
• 04:56
  zedmatrix
  even managed to figure how to get poweroff to work
