c61f217835 BusyBox and glibc now use separate object/install/prepare folders. Kernel and initramfs are reconfigured to use XZ compression. Added more CFLAGS for smaller output size. As result the fina ISO image is significantly smaller than before. 2016-05-04 01:25:26 +03:00

f86add64c6 Implemented another level of "early shell". Now we have 2 early shells - one right after the initial mount procedure and another one right after the overlay procedure. 2016-04-23 21:23:28 +03:00

416670ca72 Added support for PID 1 shell during boot. Added option to use local downloaded sources with no requirement on internet connection. Added option to use predefined configuration files for kernel and BusyBox. Initramfs structure has been reorganized - now /etc/03_init.sh can be edited and the persisted changes will be applied on reboot. Scripts 01 and 02 are not affected since they are used before the overlay takes place. Added helper script file which generates hard disk image as sparse file. QEMU scripts have been enhanced for easier boot with hard disk images. Internal comments have been improved. 2016-04-23 01:43:40 +03:00

05b62fd32e Major reorganization - initramfs structure is now externalized in separate folder structure. Added support for overlay from folders and disk images. Overlay structure has been externalized in separate folder. Added support to use preconfigured ".config" files for BusyBox and kernel. 2016-04-16 21:23:20 +03:00

07da9983c1 Unmount device on overlay failure before continuing to next device. Overlay support works from different device without unmounting the first device, so this might be a bug in BusyBox. 2016-04-11 22:23:20 +03:00

ecd53af5ce Fixed type "crytical" --> "critical". 2016-04-10 04:34:14 +03:00

2f4fdc8cb4 Added overlay support which mounts /minimal/rootfs if it is found on the boot media. Note that this doesn't work on vfat. Works fine on CD image and on separate ext2 partition. 2016-04-10 04:09:27 +03:00

a65281ac48 The root location is changed dynamically via 'switch_root'. This is prerequisite for more complex boot process. 2016-04-09 18:48:53 +03:00

0441e69d0c Moved the stable 'glibc-busybox' scripts from the experimental folder to the root script folder. Removed the 'experimental' folder because the DNS resolving issue has been fixed. Added website information about the '03-Apr-2016' release. 2016-04-03 01:19:54 +03:00

b097308669 Started cleanup & preparation process for publishing. The code has been tested on 32-bit and 64-bit machines. 2016-04-02 17:33:30 +03:00
Ivan Davidov
fb5ab6f49a Updated the root FS generation process to support x86_64 machines. GNU libc dependencies have been reduced significantly and only the DNS related libraries are used. This works for x86_64 machines but hasn't been tested on pure 32-bit machines. 2016-04-02 14:30:53 +03:00
Ivan Davidov
4c807ae189 Forgot to add the updated .gitignore file. This is related to the previous commit. 2016-04-02 12:11:19 +03:00

40fdd94157 Added experimental folder 'glibc-busybox' which solves the DNS issue. This works on 32bit machines. Not tested on 64bit machines. This is not at all "minimal" and needs *a lot* of RAM (256MB for now). 2016-04-02 12:06:36 +03:00

1ca057ee0b Headers are reused rom the downloaded kernel. ISO image is generated in custom shell script.

8b96da4dbe John Jolly suggested to use "cpio" with "-R root:root" in order to generate rootfs with all files and folders owned by root (uid 0 and gid 0). This hasn't been tested yet. 2016-01-14 19:33:56 +02:00
