I'm working on changing the Makefiles in release/ so that each floppy is a subdir and can be made individually, (well at least the important ones (fixit,root)) having such basic functionality tied up so inherently with that spaghetti that is the release code is a probelm here, because we need to be able to know out small boot-disks without doing all the rest of that stuff. doing a make in bin, sbin, usr.sbin and usr.bin is acceptable as the .o's are needed for the crunched binaries, but we don't want to have to cut a whole release.. we'd also like to see a selection of floppies produced during a normal 'make world' and that is my aim.... we'll see how successful I can be in this.... the aim is to produce at least: 1.4MB kernel floppy 1.4MB root floppy with massively crunched stuff. Then, hopefully if that works: a 1.4MB floppy with 'kernel of your choice' pluss a crunched binary with just enough functionality to do what we need. The final stage (if I ever understand all this) is: a floppy with an MFS filesystem with our custom stuff on it > > >> I am trying to figure out why NFS installation fails on our network. > >> When I tried to make floppies I get following errors.
