Hi everyone,

I've put the Knoppix's kernel 2.6.19 in DSL-N and replaced unionfs by aufs like Knoppix did. If someone is interessed, I can put details here and / or upload my iso somewhere.

Rgds,
Bruno

Let me know here, or PM me, where your iso can be found and we can host it here as an upgrade to DSL-N.
Perhaps I can bring it into line with all the script updates of DSL.

I'd be interested to try this as well - maybe plugz and/or dbus will work better in 2.6.19 than I can make them work in 2.6.12...

I have received Bruno's 2.6.19. Thank you, Bruno.
I am going to update the all DSL scripts.
It will then be posted as RC5.
Stay tuned.

Hi,

Some small problems that I'm getting :

1) When mounting the aufs fs, it shows a warning about uid / gid but it works perfectly

2) In VMware, it doesn't reboot properly, it hangs at "Prepare for reboot" - perharps a APM / ACPI problem

Bye,
Bruno

Hi,

I found by replacing some files by knoppix files (knoppix-halt, init, reboot, shutdown, ...) that it does reboot properly, however I have some errors with udev and I don't know if it is worth to go further in that direction and fix udev.

BTW, is there a subversion repository or a way to have apt-get work ?

Rgds,
Bruno

I too have to admit that there are many issues with udev which affects pendrives.

I copied the following dir/files from DSL:

/var/cache/apt/archives/lock [file]
/var/cache/apt/archives/partial [empty dir]
/var/lib/apt/lists/lock [file]
/var/lib/apt/lists/partial [empty dir]
/usr/sbin/install-info
/usr/sbin/dpkg-restore

Together with dsl-dpkg.dsl from DSL, this seems to make apt-get work OK in DSL-N
