I think we could just declare that this is our minimal RAM footprint.
Some might not be so happy with that, but we want to provide a 
versatile system to make a lot more users happy.

I think so, too.
Busybox is really a great program, but it is better for embedded 
Systems, like Linux on a PDA, and not for a Firewall on CD.

I will start today or tomorrow and replace the Init System, because I 
wanted to do it anyway.
This should be the only critical part.

We have currently 30 MB. ;-)
The problem is more the RAM, but RAM is cheap and let's say: minimum 64 MB for Devil-Linux.

As it seems as if in the end we'll eliminate BusyBox :)

Despite it's use during startup, why do we need to use it anyways?
We really don't have a limit in size. 650MB is quite much and if I
remember correct we currently use about 50MB on CD.

That's a good idea!
Is wget capable of doing a real mirror of a ftp directory?
We use another tool in the company for ftp mirror jobs, I can check what 
the name ist.

Hi girls (any?) and boys!

How do we, as developers, update our local sources 
from e.g. ftp://ftp.de.devil-linux.org/src/0.5beta/ 
in the build system at /build/src?

Somehow I could think of a file in CVS that lists all added
and deleted sources, including the online source 
(e.g. ftp://ftp.de.devil-linux.org/src/0.5beta/)

So after a "cvs update" I'd call this script, let's name it
src-update, which will take care of getting the latest
source files and removing the corresponding old ones. 
It has to remove the corresponding compile tree under 
/build/tmp, too.

Heiko I know for you it's easy - you've got the latest
sources anyway :)

PS: Today I'm to lacy, so I just got wget to download the whole
directory, but I think that's not the real method.

Summary: Disabling UDMA at boot time

Initial Comment:
Add hdparm utility to base system.
Write script, which is disabling UDMA (when requested, 
but should be default) in Initrd after reading the 
config disc.

yes there are problems
some users reported read problems and this was because of 
the enabled udma mode.
since we changed this setting, no more problems occured.
it is still possible to enable udma in a script with the 
hdparm utility.
but i think it is not that big performance decrease without 
udma in the case of devil-linux

Summary: PPPoE problem

Initial Comment:
In /usr/sbin/adsl-connect the following lines appear: 

PPPD=NOTFOUND 
SETSID=/usr/bin/setsid 

I find no /usr/bin/setsid on the ramdisk (after 
everything is extracted and running). 

I don't understand what PPPD=NOTFOUND is supposed to 
do.  I am unable to get adsl-start to work and it 
appears to die when the following lines are invoked 
later in the script: 

   $SETSID $PPPD pty "$PPPOE_CMD -D $DEBUG-0" \ 
       $PPP_STD_OPTIONS \ 
       $PPPD_SYNC \ 
       debug >> $DEBUG 2>&1 

I am trying to install this at a remote site which I 
don't visit very often so it is difficult to debug.  I 
don't have any experience with PPPOE yet so I can't 
offer any solutions.

We have no details yet, but we will have our own server.

Options:
1. (moste likely)
Server located at Mainlab GmbH, we just have to resolve some hardware 
issues first.

2.
Located at my Company, either in Germany or in the U.S. (more likely)
For this, I would have hardware available.

I did a quick search over freshmeat and found the following project management tools (selection reduced):

Double Choco Latte http://dcl.sourceforge.net
Mantis http://mantisbt.sourceforge.net
Bugzilla http://www.mozilla.org/projects/bugzilla
Tutos http://www.tutos.org

And of course the Sourceforge Software, for which we will never get an update, except we pay for it. The last public version was 2.5, which was released in 2000.

But to be honest, there was no tool which I really liked.

But we have to use, what we get.

Tell me what you think.

That would be very nice. ;-)
It's just our biggest problem, because of the traffic.

For CVS and all the other stuff it's not that hard to find a solution.
Or better, it seems that we have one. ;-)

If that's what concerns you most, I'll ask my friends in the DFN

bothering them, but that shouldn't be a problem.

Summary: nslookup and bind package

Initial Comment:
nslookup from the bind package can't be installed, 
because it conflicts with the busybox link.

Solutions:
- A
replace busybox nslookup and add bind9 version to base 
system

- B
change installation of packages
force overwrite possible?
installation from inside initrd, before busybox links 
are created
