root/floppyfw/devkitstuff/Readme.devkitiso

This is a quick and dirty readme for the devkit ISO.

This is an ordinary floppyfw ISO with the addition of two things:

 - devkit-3.0.0.tar.bz2
 - devkit-3.0.0

Both can be found under /mnt/tmp

You can also chroot into the devkit as usual but, since it's read-only,
not do much at all.

Well, what you can do is to copy this to a hard drive partition and 
make it bootable from there.

This is how I made the vmware-player version of the devkit:

( lines starting with # is the commands I use )

Preparing:

# cd /mnt/tmp/devkit-3.0.0
# chroot .
# ./initroot.sh

Keyboard remapping? 

You can change to your keyboard layout by using loadkmap and one of the keymaps 
in /usr/lib/Keymaps/i386/ like:

# loadkmap < /usr/lib/Keymaps/i386/qwerty/no-latin1.bmap

The hard drive:

# fdisk /dev/hda

Then, use fdisk to make whatever you want (OS partition, swap). Remember to set
the OS partition active.

But, you have to remember that the devkit has support for large files turned off and
that gives a max partition size of 2G aswell.

# mkswap <SWAP partition>
# mke2fs <HARD DRIVE partition>
# mount -t <HARD DRIVE partition> /mnt

Then you have a place to put your devkit and files..

Then, go to a new virtual console, you need the devkit tarfile now.

# cd /mnt/tmp/devkit-3.0.0/mnt
# tar -xjpvf ../../devkit-3.0.0.tar.bz2

Well, you end up with a directory you sure don't need but that can be fixed:

# mv devkit-3.0.0/* .
# rmdir devkit-3.0.0

After that, you may want to make it bootable with lilo. Edit /etc/lilo.conf 
(you may want to change /dev/hdc and hdc1 into hda / hda1 or whatever partition you set. If this is a multi boot system, set root to the same as boot)

then, install  LILO:

# chroot . 
# ./initroot.sh
# lilo -v -v
