Feature Requests item #536726, was opened at 2002-03-29 16:35 You can respond by visiting: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=410646&aid=536726&group_id=34096 Category: Configuration / Scripts Group: None Status: Open Priority: 5 Submitted By: Evgeny Stambulchik (evgeny) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Verbose save-config Initial Comment: The save-config utility _must_ be verbose. Otherwise, the whole idea of security based on the RO media is a bluff. Indeed, if an intruder managed to alter config files after the last reboot but before admin makes his own changes, everything will be saved - both the wanted changes and the cracking stuff. So, save-config should list all the files changed as compared to the etc.tar.gz contents on the floppy and ask a confirmation to commit all of them (or, ideally, allow to select the files from the list). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=410646&aid=536726&group_id=34096 |

I hope that the Linux file cache is good enough, that he doesn't read the tar file again, when we unpack the configuration. Otherwise we would have to find a better solution, because it takes to long. We could also go ahead and copy the tar file into the tmp directory and work from there.

I would leave this task to a eg. php script on the webpage where the user selects what he want's to use and then the script outputs our recommendations for his system.

Good idea, but we should make this a bit more comfortable and intelligent. Here my 2 cents: ** parameter in /etc/sysconfig/config: CONFIG_RAMDISK_SIZE=auto | size in MB So you could specify the maximum size manually or use our script to calculate it. Per default it should be set to "auto". ** more intelligent The script should also take care about swap space, but should print out a warning when he thinks that the system will start swapping. With this warning, the user would know that he looses performance but the system will still function as expected ** RAM usage of programs We don't only need the size of the programs, we would also need to know their ram usage when the program is running. But I think that's a bit hard, because it really depends on the environment and what the user is doing. -- cu Heiko We are Penguin, Resistance is futile! http://www.devil-linux.org |

Hi! I was just thinking about making the size of the ramdisk a function of the amount of installed ram. See http://www.fl.priv.at/devil-linux/ramdisk-usage.html about which numbers came to my mind. What do you think about that? Just don't forget that we use shmfs now so the size of the ramdisk is always as big as much as devil-linux copied in into it. The ramdisk size I'm talking about is the max. size the ramdisk can get - a hard limit so to speak. So if you've got 64 MB of ram and the limit is 40 MB but the actuall used space in your ramdisk is 32 MB then you've the other 32 MB for your programs. So the numbers in the graphic are a hard limit for the ramdisk and a minimum for the amount of available memory. PS: The StarOffice sheet for this report can be found at http://www.fl.priv.at/devil-linux/ramdisk-usage.sdc Greetings Friedl |

Hi!
Just wrote a small script that would unpack each available
package on my Devil-Linux 0.5b6 and calculate the unpacked size.
I have to say that those are not all packages but the ones that
I selected via "make menuconfig".
package size [KB]
ARPWATCH 154
CRON 53
DDUP 22
FREESWAN 1052
IPROUTE2 270
ISC_BIND 2771
ISC_BIND_UTILS 2547
ISC_DHCP 1723
JFTPGW 150
JOE 210
LVM 810
NTP 1516
OPENSSH 1919
OPENSSL_BIN 1102
PERL 16165
POPTOP 54
POSTFIX 4392
PPP 278
PPTP_CLIENT 46
SQUID 2180
TCPDUMP 1318
UCD_SNMP 2609
WGET 182
========
SUM [KB] 41523
To complement the picture we need the ramdisk usage of the
BASE-System, which is (at least for my config) 16132 KB.
Let's say that the BASE-System and an extended config needs
18000 KB.
So for a full install of the packages above the ramdisk
needs to be at least of the size of:
59523 KB = approx. 58,2 MB
I would suggest using at least 96 MB of ram for this full install.
Which would leave approx. 32 MB for running all the services.
I would also suggest to create files on the cd that reflect the
size of the available packages.
eg. (as seen from the running system) /cdrom/packages/CRON.size
with the content "53\n". (for the value see list above)
So a script could be written that loads /etc/sysconfig/software,
and based on those settings, calculates the needed ramdisk size
and would also give recommendations on the amount of ram that
needs to be installed.
PS: If you want a copy of this script mail me.
If you'd want to run this script don't forget to configure your
harddisk support because it's advisable to run this on a mounted
partition.
PPS: I'm thinking about adjusting the ramdisk size on the
amount of installed memory. But no solution yet.

This email is to inform you of release '1.70-pre1' of 'Syslinux' through freshmeat.net. All URLs and other useful information can be found at http://freshmeat.net/projects/syslinux/ The changes in this release are as follows: This prerelease is available to test out a rewrite of some of the internals. This will make it possible to support multiple ramfs input files in the future, using the Linux 2.5 "initramfs" protocol. Project description: SYSLINUX is a boot loader for the Linux operating system which operates off of MS-DOS floppies. It is intended to simplify first-time installation of Linux, rescue disks, and other uses for boot floppies. A SYSLINUX floppy can be manipulated using standard MS-DOS (or any other OS that can access an MS-DOS filesystem) tools once it has been created, and requires only a ~ 8K DOS program or ~ 16K Linux program to create it in the first place. It also includes PXELINUX, a program to boot off a network server using a boot PROM compatible with the Intel PXE (Pre-Execution Environment) specification, ISOLINUX, a program to boot off ISO 9660 CD-ROMs in native mode, and MEMDISK, a tool to boot legacy operating systems (e.g. DOS) using a Linux boot loader regardless of medium. If you would like to cancel subscription to releases of this project, login to freshmeat.net and choose 'home' from the personal menubar at the top of the page. You'll be presented with a list of projects you're subscribed to in the right column, which you may cancel by highlighting the project in question and clicking the 'delete' button. Sincerely, freshmeat.net |
