hi

i have a problem with nanobsd. there are somethings which don't have WITHOUT 
knobs,
how can i control these directories manually ? how can i add a costume function 
to
nanobsd.sh to do this ??

How about something along the lines of

cust_clean () {
     rm -rf ${NANO_WORLDIR}/path/to/unwanted

**** Important: that should have been ${NANO_WORLDDIR} with *two* Ds - get it wrong and there's a chance you may damage your main system.

}

customize_cmd cust_clean

in your nanobsd config file?


=======================================================================
thanks
you mean after building image, this function remove unwanted from WORLDDIR ?
i suppose this will not effect the image, because the image had been built 
before
> removing unwanted directories ...
did i get your point correctly ?

A slight caveat: it's a while since I did anything with nanobsd and this is all from memory. "man 8 nanobsd" is your friend, and reading the config files under /usr/src/tools/tools/nanobsd and nanobsd.sh itself is useful.


This doeswill affect the image. nanobsd first builds (by the usual installation process) a file tree that will become the basis of the disk image. This is pointed to by ${NANO_WORLDDIR}.

It then runs the customize functions which can change any part of this tree. Standard ones do things like adding more files, or alter ${NANO_WORLDDIR}/etc/ssh/sshd_config to allow root logins. You can add your own command to do what you like.

After that, nanobsd creates a disk image using md based devices, mounts them and copies the ${NANO_WORLDDIR} into the relevant slice(s).

If you don't want some part of the system but it hasn't got a WITHOUT knob to prevent it being installed, the only thing you can do is let nanobsd install it into the tree, and then "manually" via your own customize_cmd remove it. Any changes you make will affect the final image.
