Smaller package with tc?

2007-03-31 Thread Colin Dean
I'm lookin' to add QoS to my project, Vojisto. I've found that I need 'tc'--a part of the iproute2 package. Is there a smaller package which contains just tc? Or is there a way when building iproute2 to tell make to only build tc? Busybox provides all of the other things (although rudimentary). (

Thanks for the help, folks. I knew that the drive exists, as not 20 minutes before my initial email, GRUB was working just fine. I decided against a separate boot partition because I did ALFS. My solution: mv /boot/grub /boot/grub-backup mkdir /boot/grub cp /boot/grub-backup/stage{1,2} /boot/gr
