Upcoming 2.3-testing release
by Lucas Hazel 05 Jan '07

05 Jan '07

I'm currently working on a 2.3 release of CRUX64 Just seeing if anyone else is still using 2.1.1-rc1 and is interested in testing/helping. I have completed porting core and parts of opt that I personally use. -- Lucas Hazel <lucas(a)die.net.au> ================================================= "Clothes make the man.

Building X11R7.1
by Darran Kartaschew 12 Sep '06

12 Sep '06

Hi Guys, I'm currently reinstalling CRUX (due to a HDD failure), and decided to try out Danm's v2.2 test build. Being one for trying new stuff, I've successfully installed the latest kernel revision and have decided to try out X11R7.1 from X.org (If I stuff it up, nothing's lost due to being a clean install). Anyway, I'm only getting about 90% the way through the install, with an error on xkbcomp causing a floating point exception when rebuilding the keyboard template files? I've googled quite a bit and haven't come across anyone else with the same error. That leads me to believe that it may be distro related, rather than a bug in X (but if it's s bug, does anyone have a patch?) So if anyone has successfully built X11R7.1 on CRUX v2.2 (AMD64), can you please let me know how and what you did? I'm trying to install straight from the bz2 tarballs (using that script provided), and have read through the README several times... (I don't have an active internet connection at home, and the firewall at work currently blocks git:// so can't get the absolutely bleeding edge source). Cheers, Darran PS. I do realise that Dan's build of CRUX is considered a test version and the build/project is effectively dead...

[Clc-crux64] crux64-2.2-test1 (danm)
by Daniel Mueller 29 Mar '06

29 Mar '06

Hello, some of you might have noticed that I've uploaded a 2.2-test1 iso image[1]. This and the future releases of (my) CRUX64 Linux differ from the main CRUX distribution in some points. +-----------------+ | glibc(/glibc32) | +-----------------+ AMD64 optimizations Support for linuxthreads AND Native POSIX Threads (ntpl) The NTPL libs are separated in lib64/tls and lib32/tls. Programs will use NTPL by default. +---------------------+ | introduction of PAM | +---------------------+ Because it's hard and (very) time-consuming to configure PAM I decided to deliver CRUX64 with pre-configured PAM. I liked SuSE's system best so I packaged most of their pam-modules. o linux-pam (latest kernel.org PAM-release) o pam_unix2 (instead of pam_unix) o pam_pwcheck (password strength checking) o pam_homecheck (checks various files/permissions in ~/) +--------------------------------+ | replacing shadow with pwdutils | +--------------------------------+ As I said, I really like SuSE's system. The useradd(8) program is able to create users in an LDAP directory. passwd(1) (in conjunction with pam_unix2) is able to change passwords in local files, NIS and LDAP. The password hash algorithm can be chosen in /etc/default/passwd (instead of login.defs or /etc/pam.d/*). +------------+ | /bin/login | +------------+ pwdutils does not contain a login program. It's a separated package called: o pam_login +-----------------------+ | openldap & cyrus-sasl | +-----------------------+ Since pwdutils depends on libldap-2.3.so (openldap) openldap & cyrus-sasl are now core ports. o I haven't tested all new functions yet; especially the LDAP stuff :-( o I call (my) version of CRUX64 "highly" experimental. The install CD uses Johannes Winkelmann's 'setup-helper' script to inject the missing packages during an upgrade. However, I've only tested an update from crux 2.1.1 to crux 2.2 which went fine so far. --------snip---------- remove_packages o shadow (conflicts with pwdutils and coreutils) inject_packages o cyrus-sasl o openldap o linux-pam o pam_unix2 o pam_pwcheck o pam_homecheck o pam_login o pwdutils rename_packages o "pkgconfig:pkg-config" --------snap------------ If you decide to install my version please keep in mind that I'm doing this completely in my free time. I give no warranty[2]. At the moment it seems that I'm the only one working on CRUX64 - don't expect me to update all ports "in-time". bye, danm [1] http://crux.danm.de/files/iso/2.2-64bit/ [2] http://crux.nu/Main/Handbook2-2#ntoc8 -- Daniel Mueller Berlin, Germany OpenPGP: 1024D/E4F4383A

[Clc-crux64] About to get 64bit computer
by Buddy Lindsey 04 Mar '06

04 Mar '06

Hello. I am about to get a 64bit computer in the mail from newegg, well all the parts. Anyway I was wondering how good the 64bit support was and if there was something I could read on setting up crux for 64bit. I must be honest I have no idea about anything regarding 64bit processors, but am in the midst of learning. Any ideas thoughts or critisims would be great. Thank you Buddy Lindsey
