I made one today
look in the makefile..
release.8: write_mfs_in_kernel
@cd ${.CURDIR} && $(MAKE) ckRELEASEDIR
rm -rf ${RD}/mfsfd
mkdir ${RD}/mfsfd
cd ${RD}/mfsfd && \
mkdir -p dev mnt stand/help
@cd ${.CURDIR} && $(MAKE) installCRUNCH CRUNCH=boot \
DIR=${RD}/mfsfd/stand ZIP=false
^^^^^^^^^
as opposed to the fixit..
release.10:
@cd ${.CURDIR} && $(MAKE) ckRELEASEDIR
rm -rf ${RD}/fixitfd
mkdir ${RD}/fixitfd
cd ${RD}/fixitfd && \
mkdir stand bin sbin etc mnt mnt1 mnt2 mnt3 mnt4 tmp
ln -f ${RD}/kernels/GENERIC.kz ${RD}/fixitfd/kernel
@cd ${.CURDIR} && $(MAKE) installCRUNCH CRUNCH=fixit \
DIR=${RD}/fixitfd/stand ZIP=true
this would give us a 'little' more room.. at the moment, the
limit is thte fact that the current GENERIC +FS
DEcompresses to > 2MB
but if we gzip the crunch file
the decompressed size would shrink, but the compressed
file would remain about the same..
and running gzipped executables can't share text segs,
so we MIGHT run short or ram at run-time..
need to check it I guess.
(but we'd gain 400k back as well)
