So, what's up with the linux kernel and overlayed filesystems? There's no support. I notice the Arch CD initramfs creates RAM disks for volatile directories and copy the contents into from archives into them. That's no where near as elegant or flexible. On 21 March 2013 10:20,

I'd be interested to take a look at your work. I've been taking my time as a lot of it is pretty new to me. There is no escaping the fact an initrd file is needed, for the bootup on multiple systems by taking advantage of modules, and to mount a root from CD that can be overlaid with a ram disk.

I elected to use 'Os' optimisations on my current compilation round. I understand it to be safe option and can only assume it help when it comes to compressing the filesystem into an archive on a limited media choice. But I am no expert on the subject and would appreciate suggestions. -- http://

Sorry, my mistake. I got around it with make LDFLAGS='-lpthread', as Billy stated in his first post. The problem also crops up using the 64-bit version of Ubuntu 12.04 as well. On 7 March 2013 07:38, cybertao wrote: > I had the same issue when using 32-bit Ubuntu 12.04. I got

Okay, I'm on the job. Since I've been playing with the systemd branch I need to compile vanilla 32-bit and 64-bit releases, which I'm currently doing using jhalfs. I just realised I chose the development branch without much consideration, when the stable version my be more appropriate. If only fo

I'm interested. I'd definitely need the help and guidance, but have the time and enthusiasm. The previous Live CD was an invaluable tool to me over the years, not just as a platform for building LFS. Arch has replaced my need for it, but a Live CD primed and ready to go increases the accessibilit

I just finished building this, ironed out my mistakes (journald barfing because there's no machine-id is a good one!), and couldn't be more pleased with myself. And immensely grateful for all the work that went into this. Thanks. On 6 February 2013 10:34, Matt Burgess wrote: > Hi all, > > I'v
