| 661 | - if called by Mondo then don't write floppy images to disks; let
|
|---|
| 662 | Mondo do that: less irritating for user
|
|---|
| 663 | - if called by Mondo then do some clever tricks to add mondo-restore
|
|---|
| 664 | and its dependencies (mondo-restore is now a dynamic executable)
|
|---|
| 665 | - finally gotten klogd to squelch echoing of kernel msgs to console
|
|---|
| 666 |
|
|---|
| 667 |
|
|---|
| 668 | v0.46
|
|---|
| 669 | - finally fixed that 'lib/modules/2.4.12-xfs not found' bug! :-D
|
|---|
| 670 | - cosmetic changes and minor bugfixes
|
|---|
| 671 | - excluded lilo.conf and lilo from deplist.txt; use user's copy instead
|
|---|
| 672 | - if your fstab mentions a RAID partition but your raidtab doesn't then
|
|---|
| 673 | Mindi will terminate in a sane manner with a sane error message
|
|---|
| 674 | - fixed a bug in bug-me (heh, how ironic)
|
|---|
| 675 | - include and run (sys)klogd to try to pipe kernel msgs to logfile
|
|---|
| 676 | - call hdparm to speed up access to CD-ROM drive
|
|---|
| 677 |
|
|---|
| 678 |
|
|---|
| 679 | v0.45
|
|---|
| 680 | - disabled fsck.* in deplist.txt
|
|---|
| 681 | - include /etc/fstab in logfile
|
|---|
| 682 | - removed lzop.* from aux-tools; should come from user's distro anyway
|
|---|
| 683 | - tweaked data disk size and data disk formatting command
|
|---|
| 684 | - make ISO bootable image (as well as floppies) when backing up to tape
|
|---|
| 685 | - copy boot images (floppy + CD) from temp dir to /root/images/mindi
|
|---|
| 686 | after making them, just in case the user wants them later
|
|---|
| 687 | - added md5sum to deplist.txt
|
|---|
| 688 | - added pico->vi softlink to ramdisk
|
|---|
| 689 | - in the ramdisk's /etc/bashrc, added /usr/local/bin and
|
|---|
| 690 | /usr/local/sbin to the PATH= command
|
|---|
| 691 | - call insert-all-modules as background task; pause 3 seconds after
|
|---|
| 692 | calling it, before proceeding <--- /sbin/init
|
|---|
| 693 | - call to devfs has been moved to before call to post-init
|
|---|
| 694 | - added 'md5sum -> busybox' softlink
|
|---|
| 695 | - Mindi now uses busybox's printf, md5sum, mount, umount, vi
|
|---|
| 696 | ...NB: I said, 'vi' :-) Now you have an editor again! :-)
|
|---|
| 697 | - added lilo.real to deplist.txt, to allow for Debian's evil new distro
|
|---|
| 698 | - added lzop to deplist.txt
|
|---|
| 699 | - no longer including lzop in Mindi's tarball / RPM
|
|---|
| 700 | - improved Mindi's error-reporting a little bit
|
|---|
| 701 | - changed deplist.txt's /etc/* to just *
|
|---|
| 702 | - restructured the calls in /sbin/post-init that reinitialize the LVM
|
|---|
| 703 | and RAID modules
|
|---|
| 704 | - if mkfs.ext2 is not in PATH then abort
|
|---|
| 705 | - Mindi uses a 'filename cache' to speed itself up at run-time
|
|---|
| 706 | (Jean-David Marrow)
|
|---|
| 707 | - Red Hat 7.2 uses a weird /etc/issue.net; I've worked around it...
|
|---|
| 708 | - tested with Linux-Mandrake 8.0 and Red Hat 7.2
|
|---|
| 709 |
|
|---|
| 710 |
|
|---|
| 711 | v0.44
|
|---|
| 712 | - at boot-time, activate LV's if they exist
|
|---|
| 713 | - restructured deplist.txt a bit (cosmetic change)
|
|---|
| 714 | - re-enabled fsck.* in deplist.txt
|
|---|
| 715 | - analyze-my-lvm fails gracefully if you're not using LVM but inserted
|
|---|
| 716 | the module anyway
|
|---|
| 717 |
|
|---|
| 718 |
|
|---|
| 719 | v0.43
|
|---|
| 720 | - made Mindi work with Red Hat 6.2 and 2.2.19 kernel
|
|---|
| 721 | - if mkisofs is not found, say so; don't just say, 'an error occurred
|
|---|
| 722 | while I was trying to make an ISO image'
|
|---|
| 723 | - when formatting and writing floppies, if /dev/fd0's size is
|
|---|
| 724 | indeterminable then I'll use /dev/fd0H1440 instead
|
|---|
| 725 | - make sure xfs.o, jfs.o, reiserfs.o, ext2.o, ext3.o modules are
|
|---|
| 726 | backed up (if they exist) to boot disks
|
|---|
| 727 | - fixed a silly bug that stopped Mindi from handling its own modules
|
|---|
| 728 | properly; only affects newbie users with broken kernels (i.e. the
|
|---|
| 729 | very people that Mindi's failsafe kernel was meant to help!)
|
|---|
| 730 | - added lzop (Marcus Oberhumer's file compressor) to aux-tools.tgz
|
|---|
| 731 | - added Bruno Cornec's "--cd-recovery" patch; if user uses the switch
|
|---|
| 732 | (i.e. '--cd-recovery yes') then the CD will boot to a screen that
|
|---|
| 733 | pauses until the user types RESTORE; then, it will enter Nuke Mode
|
|---|
| 734 | - added Stephan Zegherd's "superformat" patch
|
|---|
| 735 | - failsafe kernel is now 2.4.12 with XFS, JFS and lots of SCSI modules;
|
|---|
| 736 | the addition of XFS and extensive SCSI support will increase the
|
|---|
| 737 | size of Mindi's RPM / tarball significantly but I think it's worth it
|
|---|
| 738 | - at boot-time, find out whether there are any RAID partitions; and if
|
|---|
| 739 | there are, whether they are 'started' yet; if not, run raidstart to
|
|---|
| 740 | start them at boot-time, before user can try to mount anything
|
|---|
| 741 | - Mindi's failsafe kernel & modules are handled more elegantly now;
|
|---|
| 742 | if you have raid1.o, scsi.o, etc. loaded at backup-time then Mindi
|
|---|
| 743 | finds its corresponding modules in its tarball of failsafe modules
|
|---|
| 744 | and stores them so that at boot-time you can do SCSI, RAID, etc.
|
|---|
| 745 | - removed gawk, printf from deplist.txt
|
|---|
| 746 |
|
|---|
| 747 |
|
|---|
| 748 | v0.42
|
|---|
| 749 | - make sure lvm-mod, raid0, raid1 and raid5 modules are backed up
|
|---|
| 750 | - added 'you need a ramdisk' to FAQ
|
|---|
| 751 | - changed the slice size from 20KB to 64KB; speeds up Mindi by 25%
|
|---|
| 752 | and doesn't have any negative side-effects (...that I can see)
|
|---|
| 753 | - when searching for your current kernel version, do not examine
|
|---|
| 754 | a file if it does not exist (it sounds obvious, I know...)
|
|---|
| 755 | - when asking user to send me a copy of their log file, point out
|
|---|
| 756 | that it may contain info which they do not want me to see but that
|
|---|
| 757 | they are SOL unless I can actually see their log file
|
|---|
| 758 | - fixed a silly bug that would crop up when a Linux-Mandrake 8.1 user
|
|---|
| 759 | would use a devfs-enabled kernel and RAID partitions at the same time
|
|---|
| 760 | - plays nicely with devfs-enabled kernels and distros
|
|---|
| 761 | - data floppies are now 1.44MB each; boot floppy is still 1.72MB
|
|---|
| 762 | - if binutils or libbinutils is not installed, abort
|
|---|
| 763 | - fixed a bug which meant that some big files overwrote each other
|
|---|
| 764 | at backup-time and caused library-related problems are boot-time
|
|---|
| 765 | - enabled comments ('#') in deplist.txt
|
|---|
| 766 | - disabled fsck.* in deplist.txt; user may re-enable the line if
|
|---|
| 767 | s/he wants those tools available at boot-time
|
|---|
| 768 | - tested successfully with the following distros
|
|---|
| 769 | - Linux-Mandrake 8.1 and its 2.4.8, devfs-enabled stock kernel
|
|---|
| 770 | - Red Hat 7.1 and its 2.4.2 stock kernel
|
|---|
| 771 | - better at guessing the size of swap partition
|
|---|
| 772 | - drop minix tools from deplist; user can restore them if s/he wants
|
|---|
| 773 | to use the minix filesystem
|
|---|
| 774 | - don't backup _all_ cdrom modules (if backing up 'cdrom.o'); be
|
|---|
| 775 | selective! ...minor bug in ListKerneModulePaths has been fixed
|
|---|
| 776 | - if the user has two glibc libraries - one in /lib and one in
|
|---|
| 777 | /lib/i686 - then Mindi will re-jig the softlinks so that only the
|
|---|
| 778 | version in /lib is backed up, to save space on the data disks
|
|---|
| 779 | - major rewrite of the code that copies the tools and libraries from
|
|---|
| 780 | the data disks; prettier, faster and more stable (and did I mention
|
|---|
| 781 | how kind it is to your hard-working hands?)
|
|---|
| 782 | - better handling of crazy libraries and softlinks thereto
|
|---|
| 783 | - new boot-time script, 'bug-me', copies user's logs to a floppy and
|
|---|
| 784 | tells him/her to e-mail them to me if mondo-restore aborts
|
|---|
| 785 | - ignore kernels named vmlinux (note the 'X'); traditionally, kernels
|
|---|
| 786 | are named vmlinuz (note the 'Z') or something similar
|
|---|
| 787 | - no longer backup all modules to CD/tape; just backup the ones loaded
|
|---|
| 788 | at backup-time; this saves boot-time ramdisk space
|
|---|
| 789 | - removed all references to LOOPDEVICE
|
|---|
| 790 | - LVM is supported (experimental; watch this space...)
|
|---|
| 791 | - included a tarball of 'sane' /dev/loop* nodes which will be extracted
|
|---|
| 792 | and added to the boot disk; this helps maintain Mindi's backward-
|
|---|
| 793 | compatibility with non-devfs kernels and distros
|
|---|
| 794 | - when copying modules to boot or data disks, uncompress them first
|
|---|
| 795 | if they are gzipped (some distros come with compressed modules)
|
|---|
| 796 | - no longer copies all loaded modules to the 2.88 MB El Torito bootable
|
|---|
| 797 | floppy image; instead, it copies FLOPPY_MODS to the 1.72 MB image,
|
|---|
| 798 | CDROM_MODS to the 2.88 MB image, and _all_ modules that were loaded
|
|---|
| 799 | at backup-time to the data disks
|
|---|
| 800 | - supports tape streamers, in conjunction with Mondo
|
|---|
| 801 | - uses busybox's sync again; let's see if that breaks anything...
|
|---|
| 802 | - if Mondo is backing up to tape streamer then write the tape's size to
|
|---|
| 803 | /tmp/TAPESIZE and the drive's device to /tmp/TAPEDEV-LIVES-HERE on
|
|---|
| 804 | the ramdisk
|
|---|
| 805 | - floppy disk modules (ide-floppy.o and floppy.o) now are copied
|
|---|
| 806 | to the ramdisk, whether the user's kernel or the failsafe kernel
|
|---|
| 807 | is being used
|
|---|
| 808 |
|
|---|
| 809 |
|
|---|
| 810 | v0.41
|
|---|
| 811 | - excluded *.old from the 'boot.b' list when searching for boot.b
|
|---|
| 812 | - updated Mindi's own failsafe kernel+modules to v2.4.10
|
|---|
| 813 | - added umount to deplist again
|
|---|
| 814 | - improved Mindi's support of modular kernels (esp. modular CD-ROM
|
|---|
| 815 | drive and floppy disk drives)
|
|---|
| 816 | - don't accuse Linux 2.4.10 users of having a 'buggy kernel'
|
|---|
| 817 | - restored the libc5 versions of sync and umount (dropped from
|
|---|
| 818 | deplist but also from busybox)
|
|---|
| 819 | - fixed a lot of silly bugs related to incorporating Busybox in Mindi
|
|---|
| 820 | - experimental LVM support
|
|---|
| 821 | - added 'analyze-my-lvm' script to the tarball; Mindi uses it now
|
|---|
| 822 | - able to recognize & record LVM mounts, adding them to the mountlist
|
|---|
| 823 | - added the LVM executables (listed in the lvm-0.xx-i386.rpm) to
|
|---|
| 824 | deplist.txt; they won't be added unless you have them and you won't
|
|---|
| 825 | have them unless you're using LVM, so this is not 'bloat' IMO :)
|
|---|
| 826 | - added date and sync to deplist again
|
|---|
| 827 | - when working on LVM stuff, use 'echo y | pvcreate -ff' (was '..-f')
|
|---|
| 828 | - amended format-...-kludge to allow for mountlists with >1
|
|---|
| 829 | spaces between cols
|
|---|
| 830 | checked the fsck.reiserfs is in deplist.txt (yes it is)
|
|---|
| 831 | - incorporated busybox 0.60-1; now, Mindi is faster at run-time and
|
|---|
| 832 | smaller at boot-time; you can fit a typical system onto 3 floppies;
|
|---|
| 833 | also, a kernel up to 1MB in size (approx.) can now be accommodated
|
|---|
| 834 | - supports kernels that have MODULAR support for CD-ROM's or floppies
|
|---|
| 835 | - Mindi copies only the loaded modules to the data disks but it copies
|
|---|
| 836 | _all_ modules to the CD, just in case
|
|---|
| 837 | - thanks to busybox your floppy-based Mindi boot disk set should now be
|
|---|
| 838 | able to accommodate a kernel of up to 1MB in size
|
|---|
| 839 | - boot into Expert Mode unless boot disk was generated by Mondo
|
|---|
| 840 | - exclude all softlinks from list of 'eligible' kernels
|
|---|
| 841 | - exclude kernels with 'vmlinux' in their names
|
|---|
| 842 | - removed A LOT of files from deplist.txt's dependency list; they are
|
|---|
| 843 | listed in deplist.removed, in case you want to put them back :-)
|
|---|
| 844 | - excludes libX11, libXext, libXi, libgtk, libgdk ALWAYS, whether you
|
|---|
| 845 | add them to deplist.txt or not; [cancel this by editing line 485]
|
|---|
| 846 | - rewrote AddFileToDir() to make it more efficient (but slower...)
|
|---|
| 847 | - strip chaff from binaries; strip comments from bash scripts; strip
|
|---|
| 848 | comments from /etc/termcap
|
|---|
| 849 |
|
|---|
| 850 |
|
|---|
| 851 | v0.40
|
|---|
| 852 | - if you use a softlink to your CD dev, e.g. /dev/cdrecorder->scd0,
|
|---|
| 853 | then Mindi should handle it properly now (i.e. not bomb out)
|
|---|
| 854 | - if you have a large kernel & lots of modules loaded, Mindi will only
|
|---|
| 855 | copy as many modules to the ramdisk as will _fit_ on a ramdisk that
|
|---|
| 856 | will have to go alongside your kernel on a 2.88MB floppy disk
|
|---|
| 857 | - if your kernel does not support loopfs, Mindi will say so & abort
|
|---|
| 858 | - turned some warnings into fatal errors, to help the user to figure
|
|---|
| 859 | out exactly why Mindi won't work on their kernel
|
|---|
| 860 | - changed mke2fs -N24 to -N32, to see if it helps braindead distros
|
|---|
| 861 | - Mondo now tells Mindi whether or not to use its stock kernel
|
|---|
| 862 | - gone back to the old 'insert-my-modules' for now; it's more reliable
|
|---|
| 863 | - working on the 'insert-all-my-modules' script, to make it compatible
|
|---|
| 864 | with a wider range of insane distros and kernels
|
|---|
| 865 | - dropped the '-c' option from LILO call
|
|---|
| 866 | - removed cdrecord, mkisofs, vi, route and diff from deplist.txt
|
|---|
| 867 | - slowed down the 'split data between floppies' routine; made it
|
|---|
| 868 | try harder to squeeze more data onto each floppy
|
|---|
| 869 | - excluding nvidia modules from the "insert-all-my-modules" script
|
|---|
| 870 | because it sometimes causes freeze-ups
|
|---|
| 871 | - added code to copy your fstab, lilo.conf, etc. to a tarball which, in
|
|---|
| 872 | the event of an error, Mindi will ask the user to e-mail me
|
|---|
| 873 |
|
|---|
| 874 |
|
|---|
| 875 | v0.39
|
|---|
| 876 | - plays nicely with devfs, so long as your old /dev/hdX, /dev/sdX
|
|---|
| 877 | softlinks are still there :-)
|
|---|
| 878 | - if your swap partition isn't mounted, Mindi will decide that it is
|
|---|
| 879 | 125MB; it used to abort but now it just warns & makes a good guess
|
|---|
| 880 | - testing the failsafe kernel & associated scripts
|
|---|
| 881 | - only use lilo's "-c" option if NOT a 2.88MB floppy disk image
|
|---|
| 882 | - copes better with .o, .gz, etc. module suffixes
|
|---|
| 883 | - better 'loaded modules / not loaded modules' feedback at boot-time
|
|---|
| 884 | - semi-forces isofs and ide-cd (not isofs.o and ide-cd.o); the former
|
|---|
| 885 | will be more compatible with stock kernels - e.g. Red Hat, Mandrake;
|
|---|
| 886 | also added vfat, fat & a few other modules to the list of 'foced'.
|
|---|
| 887 | - removed the '-c' switch from the call to LILO (some BIOSes don't
|
|---|
| 888 | like it very much)
|
|---|
| 889 | - removed chaff from ramdisk's /etc/login.defs, saving approx 7K
|
|---|
| 890 | - format the boot disks with -N 24 (was -N 64)
|
|---|
| 891 | - do not insist on CD #1 (at boot-time) if there is no 'CD #' marker
|
|---|
| 892 | - amend format-and-kludge-vfat; now, it will not abort if it cannot
|
|---|
| 893 | find its entry in mountlist; it doesn't need to find the entry
|
|---|
| 894 | anyway, except to check that the kludge works (which it does)
|
|---|
| 895 | - if user chooses to use Mindi's failsafe 2.4.9 kernel, Mindi will load
|
|---|
| 896 | Mindi's versions of user's modules at boot-time
|
|---|
| 897 | - make label-devices-as-necessary log its efforts
|
|---|
| 898 | - added e2label and tune2fs to deplist.txt
|
|---|
| 899 | - if you boot in Normal Mode, I'll call mondo-restore --interactive
|
|---|
| 900 | instead of just mondo-restore
|
|---|
| 901 | - replaced K7-compatible 2.4.7 kernel with a 586-comp'ble 2.4.9 kernel
|
|---|
| 902 | - improved the post-run clean-up
|
|---|
| 903 | - force the copying/loading of isofs.o and ide-cd.o, which enhances
|
|---|
| 904 | Mindi's support for kernels that have modular CD-ROM support
|
|---|
| 905 | - Interactive Mode offers to edit /tmp/mountlist.txt before running
|
|---|
| 906 | mondo-restore (good idea from F. Boon)
|
|---|
| 907 | - /dev/hd[e-h]* have been added to the ramdisk
|
|---|
| 908 | - disabled Cuckoo and Bootstrap Modes (they weren't doing anything
|
|---|
| 909 | anyway & were probably confusing some users)
|
|---|
| 910 | - removed 'edit mountlist?' question (because mondo-restore takes
|
|---|
| 911 | care of that now, via a user-friendly mountlist editor)
|
|---|
| 912 | - included a copy of mondo-manual.html
|
|---|
| 913 | - only kludge /dev/hda1 or /dev/sda1 (if vfat, of course);
|
|---|
| 914 | otherwise, use regular mkfs.vfat
|
|---|
| 915 | - use mkfs.dos if mkfs.vfat does not exist
|
|---|
| 916 | - moved some scripts from rootfs.tgz to Mondo's restore-scripts.tgz
|
|---|
| 917 |
|
|---|
| 918 |
|
|---|
| 919 | v0.38 08/18/2001
|
|---|
| 920 | - clarified the 'more than one kernel found' comment
|
|---|
| 921 | - updated the README to emphasize that the scripts are deprecated
|
|---|
| 922 | - when displaying mountlist on screen, make it easier to read
|
|---|
| 923 | - changed most 'echo's to 'LogIt()'s; log most screen output to
|
|---|
| 924 | /var/log/mindi.log
|
|---|
| 925 | - user can now use a stock 2.4.7 kernel (which comes with Mindi)
|
|---|
| 926 | if the user's distro's kernel isn't right for a boot disk
|
|---|
| 927 |
|
|---|
| 928 |
|
|---|
| 929 | v0.37 08/12/2001
|
|---|
| 930 | - changed the boot screen a little bit
|
|---|
| 931 | - changed the "cannot boot from CD-ROM" message (more informative now)
|
|---|
| 932 | - if an 'insmod'ed module cannot be found, warn but don't abort
|
|---|
| 933 | - that whole loop-mount/extract tgz to ramdisk thing --- if it fails,
|
|---|
| 934 | abort, don't try to continue; also, ask if loopfs is supported by
|
|---|
| 935 | kernel (if not, that might explain the error)
|
|---|
| 936 | - in addition to /lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules, also search
|
|---|
| 937 | /root/oss/modules for kernel modules (Phillip Deackes)
|
|---|
| 938 | - run syslog and klogd at restore-time, to pipe sys & knl messages to
|
|---|
| 939 | /tmp/mondo-restore.log
|
|---|
| 940 | - default restore-time boot mode is now 'interactive' (unless the
|
|---|
| 941 | disk is a 1.72MB, in which case default mode is still 'expert')
|
|---|
| 942 | - if CDROM can't find itself (long story, re: El Torito) then the
|
|---|
| 943 | script will say, "Your kernel is b0rken." This will reduce the
|

| 1021 |
|
|---|
| 1022 | v0.29
|
|---|
| 1023 | - stopped the 'modprobe' errors that used to occur at the beginning;

|---|
| 1025 | - removed losetup from rootfs.tgz (wasn't doing anything useful)
|

|
|---|
| 1032 | - boot-up msg is more informative
|
|---|
| 1033 | - fixed obscure bug in find-and-mount-cdrom
|
|---|
| 1034 | - better at coping with hda1/2/3/4 (normal people use hda1/5/6/7 but

| 1036 | - the 'outstring sucks!' message is now more informative

|
|---|
| 1041 | warns but does not abort

|
|---|
| 1052 | to fill each data disk to the brim
|
|---|
| 1053 | - changed the call to make ext3 partitions; now, it uses a call to
|
|---|
| 1054 | mkfs -t ext3 -j -Jsize=10 -q <device> (as requested by ext3 manual)
|
|---|
| 1055 | - tested w/ext3; works fine
|
|---|
| 1056 | - install-additional-tools doesn't call sync until after all softlinks
|
|---|
| 1057 | have been finalized; that's to make sure we call the _right_ sync

|
|---|
| 1065 | v0.26

|---|
| 1066 | - has been tested with XFS, JFS, ReiserFS, ext2 and vfat
|
|---|
| 1067 | - compatible (but not tested) with ext3
|
|---|
| 1068 | - better at finding your kernel, even if you have several kernels
|
|---|
| 1069 | of the same version (now checks the build date, too)
|
|---|
| 1070 | - better file-spreading algorithm; a little faster; much more reliable
|
|---|
| 1071 | - includes a copy of LILO, to make the boot disks properly
|
|---|
| 1072 | - tells you how big the tarballs are, when it assembles them
|
|---|
| 1073 | - compare-me uses 'insist-on-cd' instead of internal subroutine
|
|---|
| 1074 | - it looks as if Mindi can actually cope with 920K kernels now :)
|
|---|
| 1075 | - fixed some silly multi-CD bugs that would stop big files from being
|
|---|
| 1076 | restored if they were spread across CD's

|
|---|
| 1078 |

|---|
| 1084 | - replace all libc5 tools with libc6 (user's) tools at restore-time
|
|---|
| 1085 | - added diff to deplist.txt
|
|---|
| 1086 | - copy io.sys and msdos.sys (if found) to data disk(s) at
|
|---|
| 1087 | run-time; softlinks them to /*.sys at boot-time
|
|---|
| 1088 | - fixed some vfat formatting-related issues w/Embleer (always tricky);
|
|---|
| 1089 | the kludge's error-handling is better and its exit is more graceful
|
|---|
| 1090 | - say 'type nuke to restore automatically' in msg if Mondo called me
|
|---|
| 1091 | - backup all modules, not just the ones present/loaded at run-time;
|
|---|
| 1092 | the loaded modules go on boot disk but ALL go on data disk
|
|---|
| 1093 | - reduced the max data per disk from 1700 to 1680, to suit ext2's needs

|
|---|
| 1101 | v0.24
|
|---|
| 1102 | - can accommodate a kernel >900KB in size
|
|---|
| 1103 | - generates lilo.conf on-the-fly; no default/template file anymore
|
|---|
| 1104 | - copies io.sys and msdos.sys to the CD (if you have them)
|
|---|
| 1105 | - add the embleer tarballs to mindi-0.xx.tgz, so that users can
|
|---|
| 1106 | format and make bootable msdos/Win9x partitions

|---|
| 1119 | - don't copy *.mdsg to boot floppy image
|
|---|
| 1120 | - fixed erroneous 'cannot make ISO image' error message
|
|---|
| 1121 | - can accommodate a kernel as large as 890K
|
|---|
| 1122 | - now uses lilo, not syslinux (lilo works better w/2.88MB boot images)
|
|---|
| 1123 | - creates & formats disk images on the fly (no more .img.gz templates)
|
|---|
| 1124 | - boot disks are formatted ext2, like the data disks
|
|---|
| 1125 | - creates 1.72MB and El Torito 2.88MB boot floppies/images
|
|---|

|---|
| 1127 | - includes the distro's name and kernel version in LILO's message
|
|---|
| 1128 |
|
|---|
| 1129 |
|
|---|
| 1130 | v0.22
|
|---|
| 1131 | - don't add a ramdisk; use rootfs & that's it
|
|---|
| 1132 | - dependency-calculator runs approx. twice as fast as in v0.20
|
|---|
| 1133 | - tested with Linux Mandrake 8.0; works well, if you recompile
|
|---|
| 1134 | kernel to include floppy disk support (which LM8's kernel does not)
|
|---|
| 1135 | - supports bigger kernels now, up to 900K in size
|
|---|
| 1136 | - deplist.txt may now include directories, not just files
|
|---|
| 1137 | - ignores kernel filenames that are hyperlinks
|
|---|
| 1138 | - uses awk instead of gawk; drop the awk/gawk-finding thing
|

|
|---|
| 1143 | 'insmod /lib/modules/2.4.5-ac117/vfat/fubar.o'

|---|
| 1144 | - in boot.msg, XXXXX is part 1 of the 2nd line, YYYYY is part 2 of
|
|---|
| 1145 | the 2nd line, and ZZZZZ is Mindi's version# (in the 1st line)

|---|
| 1150 | - at boot-time, inserts kernel modules w/user's original parameters
|
|---|
| 1151 | - deletes the slices after recombining them & restoring the files
|
|---|
| 1152 | - includes the MINDI_VER version number in boot.msg
|
|---|
| 1153 | - if boot disk is too small, lists the files & which one is too big
