First of all, thanks a lot for also looking at the kFreeBSD patches. busybox is the main remaining part to have full d-i support on GNU/kFreeBSD and I haven't been able to spend time on it. I have tried to build busybox, and I had to patch three parts of the code (the hackish way) to get it building. I haven't tried the result extensively, but it seems to work. I'll try to fix the build issues cleanly over the week-end. > [1] http://wiki.debian.org/SummerOfCode2010/HurdDebianInstaller/JeremieKoenig > [2] http://people.debian.org/~sthibault/hurd-i386/ > [3] > http://svn.debian.org/viewsvn/d-i/people/slackydeb/kfreebsd/busybox/1.14/debian/ > [4] http://github.com/jeremie-koenig/busybox-osports > > Quick start > ----------- > > $ git clone git://github.com/jeremie-koenig/busybox-osports.git > $ cd busybox-osports > $ make allyesconfig Note that it seems to enable NOMMU=y, which we probably don't want. > $ vi .config # disable PLATFORM_LINUX, STATIC and WERROR > $ make > > or, alternatively, > > $ git clone git://github.com/jeremie-koenig/busybox-osports.git > $ cd busybox-osports > $ git checkout osports-debian > $ fakeroot debian/rules binary > > Summary > ------- > > I list my changes below.
