pkgutils hack and prt-gtk update
by Itn 17 Jul '06

17 Jul '06

Hi,all. I make a patch for pkgutils-5.20 that allows specify package database and rejected file destination. It will help you to test your ports. It affects pkgadd,pkgrm,and pkginfo. If you apply this patch,following two options are added -d,--pkg-db </absolute/path> : specify package database -R,--pkg-rejected </absolute/path> : specify rejected file destination I will be glad if you tell me some improvements for this patch. and prt-gtk update to 0.1.10.see http://itn2002.at.infoseek.co.jp/file/prt-gtk-en.html

mkbootcd?
by Joel Brooks 13 Jul '06

13 Jul '06

i need to add a driver to the boot cd to get my raid card recognized. i used the mkbootfloppy script to get it going, but i'd like to re-do the cd image so i don't have to keep a floppy disk laying around... i thought there was at one time a crux mkbootcd script for this purpose... does anyone know where i can get a copy of that? Thanks! J

shadow 4.0.17 changes location of nologin
by Johannes Winkelmann 11 Jul '06

Hi there, With shadow 4.0.17 (in core-2.2), the location of the 'nologin' binary changed from /usr/sbin/nologin to /sbin/nologin When you're using nologin as login shell for certain users, you may want to adjust the entry when updating to 4.0.17. Regards, Johannes -- Johannes Winkelmann mailto:jw@smts.ch Zurich, Switzerland http://jw.smts.ch

Gnome port installation failed at iso-codes_0.49.orig.tar.gz
by Mats Pettersson 10 Jul '06

10 Jul '06

Hi! I've just installed CRUX 2.2 and is currently trying to install the GNOME port (man, couldn't they slim it down a bit). prt-get failed when getting about to download iso-codes_0.49.orig.tar.gz. Seems that version is gone. Could just find 0.44 and 0.51-1.1, so i hacked the Pkg-file and .md5sum to include the latter. I hope i haven't borken any other dependencies because of that. I post this here in case the maintainer reads this list. I'm currently started the install again. 2 hours and counting... this is ruff. Mats

64 bit
by Joe Gilmour 06 Jul '06

06 Jul '06

I'm looking at upgrading to a new workstation. Most likely an AMD 64 bit CPU. I know there is a 64 bit version of crux (I use it on a server) but it's a little out dated now and has been discontinued. Is anyone using crux on a 64 bit machine in 64 bit mode and if so are there any tricks to getting it set up? I love my crux and I REALLY don't want to have to look for another distro. HIA, Joe

On boot it reports as a 4e/si Standard.

On this same host we are running crux 2.1 - linux-2.6.11.10 This are the scsi drivers we enable.

Request for Crux 2.3

Tried to install crux 2.2 on a dell the other day with a perc card and found that crux 2.2 boot cd will not boot. This has come up a few times, perhaps we can get this into crux 2.3. Thanks Sig _____ From: crux-bounces(a)fukt.bth.se [mailto:crux-bounces@fukt.bth.se] On Behalf Of Adam Ronthal Sent: Monday, February 06, 2006 4:47 PM To: crux(a)fukt.bth.se Subject: RE: Request for Crux 2.2 I too think it'd be a great idea to include support for the DELL PERC RAID controllers in the install kernel. We're primarily a Dell shop, and this would make things a lot easier... I'm sure we're not alone here. :-) -Adam
