- GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
- Version 2, June 1991
-
- Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
- 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
- Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
- of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
-
- Preamble
-
- The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
-freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
-License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
-software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
-General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
-Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
-using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
-the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
-your programs, too.
-
- When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
-price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
-have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
-this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
-if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
-in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
-
- To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
-anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
-These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
-distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
-
- For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
-gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
-you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
-source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
-rights.
-
- We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
-(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
-distribute and/or modify the software.
-
- Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
-that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
-software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
-want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
-that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
-authors' reputations.
-
- Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
-patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
-program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
-program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
-patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
-
- The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
-modification follow.
-
- GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
- TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
-
- 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
-a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
-under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below,
-refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
-means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
-that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
-either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
-language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
-the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
-
-Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
-covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
-running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
-is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
-Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
-Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
-
- 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
-source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
-conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
-copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
-notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
-and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
-along with the Program.
-
-You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
-you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
-
- 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
-of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
-distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
-above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
-
- a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
- stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
-
- b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
- whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
- part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
- parties under the terms of this License.
-
- c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
- when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
- interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
- announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
- notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
- a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
- these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
- License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
- does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
- the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
-
-These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
-identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
-and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
-themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
-sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
-distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
-on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
-this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
-entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
-
-Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
-your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
-exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
-collective works based on the Program.
-
-In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
-with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
-a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
-the scope of this License.
-
- 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
-under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
-Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
-
- a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
- source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
- 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
-
- b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
- years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
- cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
- machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
- distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
- customarily used for software interchange; or,
-
- c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
- to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
- allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
- received the program in object code or executable form with such
- an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
-
-The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
-making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
-code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
-associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
-control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
-special exception, the source code distributed need not include
-anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
-form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
-operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
-itself accompanies the executable.
-
-If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
-access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
-access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
-distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
-compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
-
- 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
-except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
-otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
-void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
-However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
-this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
-parties remain in full compliance.
-
- 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
-signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
-distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
-prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
-modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
-Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
-all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
-the Program or works based on it.
-
- 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
-Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
-original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
-these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
-restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
-You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
-this License.
-
- 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
-infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
-conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
-otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
-excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
-distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
-License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
-may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
-license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
-all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
-the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
-refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
-
-If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
-any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
-apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
-circumstances.
-
-It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
-patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
-such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
-integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
-implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
-generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
-through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
-system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
-to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
-impose that choice.
-
-This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
-be a consequence of the rest of this License.
-
- 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
-certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
-original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
-may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
-those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
-countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
-the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
-
- 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
-of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
-be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
-address new problems or concerns.
-
-Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
-specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
-later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
-either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
-Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
-this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
-Foundation.
-
- 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
-programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
-to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
-Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
-make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
-of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
-of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
-
- NO WARRANTY
-
- 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
-FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
-OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
-PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
-OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
-MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
-TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
-PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
-REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
-
- 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
-WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
-REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
-INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
-OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
-TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
-YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
-PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
-POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
-
- END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
-
- How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
-
- If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
-possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
-free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
-
- To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
-to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
-convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
-the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
-
- <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
- Copyright (C) 19yy <name of author>
-
- This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
- it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
- the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
- (at your option) any later version.
-
- This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
- but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
- MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
- GNU General Public License for more details.
-
- You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
- along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
- Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
-
-
-Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
-
-If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
-when it starts in an interactive mode:
-
- Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) 19yy name of author
- Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
- This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
- under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
-
-The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
-parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may
-be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
-mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
-
-You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
-school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
-necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
-
- Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
- `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.
-
- <signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989
- Ty Coon, President of Vice
-
-This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
-proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
-consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
-library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General
-Public License instead of this License.

-DrakX is a very big project, and it needs special setups to work.
-The purpose of this file is to explain how you can setup your box to make it
-compile and run.
--=-=--
-
-Beware, don't try this on a production machine with important data.
-
-
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Sources installation:
-
- First grab the gi.tar.bz2 archive and untar it in your home directory,
-for example from DrakX-*.src.rpm on your Linux-Mandrake distribution.
-
-cd to gi
-for i in `du -a | grep CVS/Root | cut -f 2`
-do
- sed -e 's/prigaux/anoncvs/' $i > $i.tmp
- mv $i.tmp $i
-done
-
-Then, log yourself into the cvs:
-% export CVS_RSH=ssh
-% export CVSROOT=:ext:anoncvs@cvs.mandrakesoft.com:/cooker
-% cvs checkout gi
- (passwd: 'cvs')
-And update the gi package:
-cvs update -P
-
-
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Preparing the compilation process:
-
-(1) target directory
-
-create a /export directory and copy a recent Mandrake-Linux CD in there.
-(You don't have to put have all the RPMS...) ; you'll need roughly 1.5
-Gbytes for a full install.
-
-[gc@obiwan ~/cvs/gi] su -c "mkdir /export"
-
-
-(2) devel packages
-
-you need quite a few devel packages to run the stuff; roughly: gcc, make,
-glibc-devel, perl-devel, XFree86-devel, libglib-devel, libgtk+-devel,
-perl-GTK, ldetect*, libslang-devel, libnewt-devel, e2fsprogs, dosfstools,
-rpm-devel, popt-devel, rpmtools.
-
-
-(3) sudo
-
-never build or run DrakX as root; install package sudo, and set up
-relevant permissions; the following should be enough: (in your
-/etc/sudoers)
-
-gc ALL=(root) NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/patch,NOPASSWD:/bin/rpm,NOPASSWD:/bin/mount,NOPASSWD:/bin/cp,NOPASSWD:/bin/umount,NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/install,NOPASSWD:/bin/rm,NOPASSWD:/bin/mv,NOPASSWD:/bin/tar,NOPASSWD:/bin/cpio,NOPASSWD:/bin/chown,NOPASSWD:/bin/mkdir,NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/strip
-
-
-(4) boot kernel
-
-you need one or more kernels and (all?) their modules. it's located in
-subdirectory "all.kernels" in DrakX-*.src.rpm ; if you ever grab (or
-build) another boot kernel, replace or add an entry in "all.kernels" as:
-
- (a) create your modules subdir (useful to describe the
- VERSION_RELEASE) and untar your kernel
-
-[gc@obiwan ~/cvs/gi/all.kernels] mkdir 2.4.1-BOOTcustom
-[gc@obiwan ~/cvs/gi/all.kernels] cd 2.4.1-BOOTcustom
-[gc@obiwan ~/cvs/gi/all.kernels/2.4.1-BOOTcustom] tar jxvf ~/mycustomkernel.tar.bz2
-[gc@obiwan ~/cvs/gi/all.kernels/2.4.1-BOOTcustom] ls
-boot/ cardmgr/ lib/
-
- (c) build kernel/modules stuff for stage1 and stage2
-[gc@obiwan ~/cvs/gi] ./update_kernel
-
-
-(5) pray
-
-[gc@obiwan ~/cvs/gi] make
-
-
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-The comments written with #- are automatically stripped out at install.
-
-
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-testing all:
-
- go to the perl-install directory and execute ./g_auto_install --test
-
- You should be able to test the whole thing in a non-destructive way.
-
-NEVER compile and/or execute DrakX as root!
-
-
-
-
-Here is how I (dams) made it work on my computer.
--------------------------------------------------

-Well here is a little description of what DrakX needs to work in comparison
-to the RH newt install.
-
-********************************************************************************
-* CVS **************************************************************************
-********************************************************************************
-Like all good free software, DrakX is in CVS :)
-
-You can access it at http://www.linux-mandrake.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/gi
-
-or via
-
-export CVS_RSH=ssh
-export CVSROOT=:ext:anoncvs@cvs.mandrakesoft.com:/cooker
-cvs checkout gi
- (enter password 'cvs')
-
-
-This is only read-only access. If you want more, tell me (pixel@mandrakesoft.com)
-
-Alas, all is not in CVS as a lot of things are binary files.
-For the other things, take SRPMS/DrakX-*.src.rpm
-
-Please note that redoing *all* the stuff is not for the faint of heart. I myself
-sometimes wonder what the whole make does :-%
-Instead, changing some .pm files is quite easy (nice interpreted language)
-
-********************************************************************************
-* Making your custom install ***************************************************
-********************************************************************************
-If you have your own rpms you want to add, or make your own updated cdrom, you
-just have to issue:
-
-% gendistrib --noclean --distrib <DIRS>
-
-Where <DIRS> is the root of all the media that the install will see, this first
-one is the main one :
-
-(1) network or 1-cdrom installs
- DIRS == the root directory of the Distribution
-
-(2) multi-cdrom install
- DIRS == the root directories of all the media that the install will see
-
-``gendistrib'' will scan the file Mandrake/base/hdlists in the main root
-directory (the first one in DIRS) to search for all media used. Typically you
-use Mandrake/RPMS* for RPM packages repository.
-For multi-cd, please use Mandrake/RPMS or Mandrake/RPMS1, Mandrake/RPMS2, etc.
-For one CD or a network/hd volume, please use Mandrake/RPMS.
-
-Optionnally, you can modify ``Mandrake/base/rpmsrate''; this file manages
-the relative importance of the files, and thus their installation or not.
-
-Also, mdkinst_stage2.gz must be remade if you modify files in Mandrake/mdkinst.
-See below for information about these files.
-
-********************************************************************************
-* FILES ************************************************************************
-********************************************************************************
-First here are the different things needed :
-
-Mandrake/base/hdlists
- description of the available install media.
- format is one line for one medium as
- <hdlist_name> <rpms_directory> <description>
- <hdlist_name> should be match regexp /hdlist\S*.cz2?/
- for example (two cd install) you get
- hdlist1.cz Mandrake/RPMS1 Boot CD
- hdlist2.cz Mandrake/RPMS2 Extension CD
-
-Mandrake/base/hdlist*.cz
- table of rpm's headers, referred by ``hdlists''
- their contents can be listed using ``packdrake -l <hdlist_file>'' or
- or ``parsehdlist <hdlist_file>''.
- ! Need to be remade when Mandrake/RPMS* changes (with ``gendistrib'') !
-
-Mandrake/base/depslist.ordered
- for each packages, tell which package it depends on. Also contains the
- size for some (obscure) bloody reasons.
- ! Need to be remade when Mandrake/RPMS* changes !
- (with ``gendistrib --noclean --distrib .'')
-
-Mandrake/base/compss
- obsoletes comps. It store packages in different categories, generated
- from the %{GROUP} field
- ! Need to be remade when Mandrake/RPMS* changes !
- (with ``gendistrib --noclean --distrib .'')
-
-Mandrake/base/rpmsrate
- ranks and classify packages, so that the installer will know which
- ones to install. format is :
- <intern_group>
- <level> <packages>
- where <intern_group> is a symbolic name used in Mandrake/base/compssUsers* files,
- and <level> defines importance level as described below :
- 5 must have
- 4 important
- 3 very nice
- 2 nice
- 1 maybe
- by default (for non expert), group selects packages for level 4 (important)
- and 5 (must have). export mode add 3 (very nice) level. other level (below 2)
- can only be selected using individual package selection.
-
-Mandrake/mdkinst
- live system used on certain installs. See ``Ramdisk or not'' below for
- more.
-
-Mandrake/base/mdkinst_stage2.bz2
- for the ramdisk. live sytem in ext2 filesystem bzipped2.
- generated from Mandrake/mdkinst tree using misc/make_mdkinst_stage2
- See ``Ramdisk or not'' below for more.
-
-Mandrake/base/rescue_stage2.bz2
- rescue ramdisk. live sytem in ext2 filesystem bzipped2.
- this is the ramdisk loaded when typing rescue on boot prompt.
- there is no live system available, only the ramdisk is used.
-
-images/*.img
- boot images to use with DrakX. Use:
- - cdrom for cdrom install
- - network for ftp/nfs install (non-pcmcia devices)
- - hd for hard-disk install
- - pcmcia for pcmcia install (see ``PCMCIA install'' below for more)
-
- the following modules have been removed from:
- network.img: acenic sk98lin de4x5
- cdrom.img and hd.img: BusLogic seagate fdomain g_NCR5380 dc395x_trm tmscsim
- hd.img: dpt_i2o eata eata_pio eata_dma
- cdrom.img: aztcd gscd isp16 mcd mcdx optcd cm206 sjcd
- pcmcia.img: apa1480_cb
- they are now in "other.img",
-
- blank.img is a blank boot image without a kernel nor initrd. this image
- can be used to generate custom boot disk.
-
- if you think one of those modules is used a lot, tell me, i may find some room
- to put it back on the main floppies.

-********************************************************************************
-* logs *************************************************************************
-********************************************************************************
-During install, a lot of interesting stuff can be found in different places:
-in consoles and in files. To switch to console 2 for example, do Ctrl-Alt-F2
-from the X install.
-- alt-F1: the stdout of the install. Not very interesting stuff
-- alt-F2: simple shell. Quite a lot of commands are available but as they are
-written in perl (for space), they do not handle the very same options as normal.
-After install, you can do ``chroot /mnt'' to see your system just like after
-rebooting. ``rpm -qa'' works for example.
-- alt-F3: a lot of interesting things. Be carefull, some ``ERROR'' messages are
-not interesting.
-- alt-F4: kernel's place. aka the output of dmesg.
-- alt-F7: the graphical install lives there
-
-- command "bug" puts on floppy lots of interesting stuff.
-- /tmp/ddebug.log: same (or nearly the same) as alt-F3
-- /tmp/syslog: same as alt-F4
-- /mnt/root/ddebug.log: at the end of each step, DrakX tries to backup
-/tmp/ddebug.log to /mnt/root. Available only after mounting of /.
-- /mnt/root/install.log: the log of the installation (or upgrade) of the rpms
-(just like rpm's /mnt/tmp/(install|upgrade).log)
-- /mnt/root/auto_inst.cfg.pl: a kickstart file generated at the end of each
-step. Can be used in 2 ways: kickstart install or ``defcfg'' install. Hopefully
-you know about kickstart. ``defcfg'' is a way to customize the default values in
-install. For example, French can be the default language with a qwerty keyboard,
-the auto-partitionning partitions can be changed, the default user class can be
-set to developer (!)...
-
-********************************************************************************
-* po translation files *********************************************************
-********************************************************************************
-DrakX uses .po files for its translation. A script takes the different
-strings out of the .pm files. It generates the DrakX.pot file which contains
-all the english strings to translate.
-To add a new language, you just have to add it to lang.pm (if it's not there
-already) and put the .po in the perl-install/po directory (see ``Ramdisk or
-not'' to know if you have to regenerate the mdkinst_stage2.gz)
-
-********************************************************************************
-* PCMCIA install ***************************************************************
-********************************************************************************
-If the media you use to install is a pcmcia device, use the pcmcia boot disk.
-
-********************************************************************************
-* Ramdisk or not ***************************************************************
-********************************************************************************
-The DrakX install is much bigger than the newt one. So the ramdisk which was
-used is getting big, and costs a lot in memory
-(eg: the mdkinst_stage2 is 14MB - 23/09/99)
-(update! now size is 21MB - 24/01/01)
-(update! now size is 19MB - 26/04/01)
-
-| | newt | DrakX
-|-------+---------+----------------------------------------------------------
-| nfs | live | live
-| ftp | ramdisk | ramdisk
-| http | ramdisk | ramdisk
-| hd | ramdisk | live if Mandrake/mdkinst/usr/bin/runinstall2 is a link,
-| | | ramdisk otherwise
-| cdrom | ramdisk | live if memory < 52MB, ramdisk otherwise
-
-Where ramdisk is needed, if detected memory is below the limit allowed for
-ramdisk (maintained in file gi/mdk-stage1/config-stage1.h; currently 52 Mb),
-a failure dialog will be printed explaining that there is not enough memory
-to perform the installation.
-
-When i say live, it means that the stage1 will *mount* the
-Mandrake/mdkinst and use it that way.
-
-The ramdisk is used in place of the live in some cases. This ramdisk is filled
-with mdkinst_stage2.gz
-
-For cdrom install, the ramdisk is used to speed up things (access time is quite
-high on cdrom drives)
-
-For pcmcia, it depends on the type of install.
-
-
-********************************************************************************
-* modules **********************************************************************
-********************************************************************************
-Modules can be found in at least 2 places:
-- in /modules/modules.mar
-- in /lib/modules.cz<KERNEL_VERSION_RELEASE>
-
-/modules/modules.mar is used in mdk-stage1. It contains only modules
-interesting for one kind of install. For example in an hd install, it
-contains scsi modules. For a network install, it contains network card
-modules. (To create, extract or view files in a ``mar'' archive, please
-use gi/mdk-stage1/mar/mar; this is basically an archive format meant to
-be minimalistic)
-
-/lib/modules.cz<KERNEL_VERSION_RELEASE> contains all modules, it is used
-in stage2.
-
-
-To install a module, use modprobe which is in /usr/bin. It's a perl wrapper
-around /usr/bin/insmod. It uses the dependencies found in
-/modules/modules.dep (stage1).
-
-/usr/bin/insmod is a wrapper around /usr/bin/insmod_. It just extracts the
-module out of /lib/modules.cz in /tmp. Then it calls insmod_.
-
-/usr/bin/insmod_ is the real prog (which you usually find in /sbin/). You need
-to give it the complete path.
-
-********************************************************************************
-* Making screenshots ***********************************************************
-********************************************************************************
-On a test machine, make a network install, switch to console (ctrl-alt-F2), enter:
-% xhost+
-
-then, on another computer:
-% DISPLAY=test_machine:0 xwd -root | convert - screenshot.png
-
-********************************************************************************
-* Miscellaneous ****************************************************************
-********************************************************************************
-> o Media access methods: nfs, ftp, http, hd, cdrom
-> o Stages: init, stage1, stage2
-> - What exactly each stage does
-
-init loads stage1
-stage1 loads stage2, on various medium type
-
-stage2 is too big to fit on a floppy, that's why stage1 exists
-
-> - How each stage relates to the various media access methods
-
-stage1 knows only how to access to the media is compiled for. It contains only
-the kernel modules needed for that media. For eg, the nfs/ftp/http stage1
-doesn't contain scsi modules nor ide.
-
-> - How one stage terminates and another begins. i.e., How does
-> stage1 find, mount, and launch stage2?
-
-/sbin/init just starts /sbin/stage1
-/sbin/stage1 takes care of mounting stage2 (in ramdisk if necessary)

->
-> Please Help. This is a major bottleneck for me.
-
-many solutions:
-
-- make an install on drive hdb, then :
- dd if=/dev/hdb of=/dev/hdc
- but you should make sure the hardware is *REALLY* identical.
-
-- try the oem feature
- 3. - burn a cd out of *latest* cooker or 8.0 and above.
- - boot on it telling "oem" to syslinux
- !! it will destroy every data on the harddrive or
- resize (or use free space) if *ONLY* one fat partition is defined !!
- - you now have a very automated install matrix
- (duplicate it with "dd if=/dev/hdb of=/dev/hdc bs=1M count=730")
-
- put the harddrive in the oem box, the user will now have an *very* automated
- install, just asking the root password and user password, and some other
- question according its hardware.
-
- 4. just like 3. but you may have to mount /cdrom after typing rescue on
- syslinux prompt (oem script do it automatically if a automatic boot nfs
- network has been done as server is known). under /cdrom may be anything
- as long as it provides an installation tree of Linux-Mandrake.
- after that run oem script by typing "/etc/oem -f" for normal installation
- or "/etc/oem -f server" for server installation (normal with server installed).
-
- 5. (just like 3. without burning a cd, doing the first part by hand)
- have a look at the /etc/oem script on the rescue and do it by hand...
-
-
-cu Pixel, fpons.
-
-
-comments:
-1. maybe copy unnecessary things -> take too long
- solution -> use bs=8k count=xxxx
-2. kernel_reread can be found on the new rescue, source is also at end of this
-mail. This solution works with one partition. Can be easily enhanced to many
-primary partitions... For extended partitions, more complicated, but not much :)
-3. has just been added in latest cooker. It may still have some pb. The main
-current limitation is IDE only, though it can be fixed easily for special cases.

-Well here is a little description of how DrakX can be modified or extended.
-Please refer to README file for getting DrakX code source and to known more
-exactly how it works and what it can do.
-
-
-********************************************************************************
-* Execution of DrakX ***********************************************************
-********************************************************************************
-DrakX has originally be written by pixel in perl and C.
-entry point for stage2 is /usr/bin/runinstall2 which is typically a link to
-/usr/bin/install2 which simply load module install2.pm and execute
-install2::main with @ARGV.
-
-install2::main parse command line arguments, prepare installation, find the right
-install_interactive class (take a look at gi/docs/object_class.fig) according to
-command line, memory available and if the interactive chosen is initializing
-correctly, else it will try a less-demanding interactive object.
-Once done, $::o is set to this install & interactive object and main runs the
-various step of install2 defined in $o->{steps}, starting with $o->{steps}{first}
-and iterating with method install_any::getNextStep().
-while running step, it trap any errors that may arise and use perl exception to
-change step.

-* DrakX FAT resizer module description *****************************************
-********************************************************************************
-here is a fat resizer written in perl and C used by DrakX (diskdrake) to resize

-partition limit are modified.
-
-any: various methods to flag cluster, compute min size.
-
-boot_sector: boot sector management methods.

-
-directory: traverse directory recursively, needed to move correctly cluster.
-
-fat: manage fat structure.
-
-info_sector: manage info sector.
-
-io: manage I/O on disk (need to take care of big file as partition size may be
- larger than 2GB).
-
-main: main resizer algortihm. if needed allocate new clusters, copy files, copy
- directories. update boot sector info.
-
-********************************************************************************
-* Adding a new step to DrakX ***************************************************
-********************************************************************************
-Say we want to add a question for setting "alawindows" option.
-We put it pretty early in the install, let's say after "Select Installation
-Class".
-
-1. in install2.pm
-
-add
-
- selectAlawindows => [ __("A la windows or not"), 0, 1, '' ],
-
-after
-
- selectInstallClass => [ __("Select installation class"), 1, 1, '' ],
-
-the 0, 1, '' means not "redoable", "skip on error", "don't hide"
-
-2. add your function selectAlawindows in install2.pm
-
-sub selectAlawindows { $o->selectAlawindows }
-
-3. add your function selectAlawindows in install_steps_interactive.pm
-
-sub selectAlawindows {
- my ($o) = @_;
- $o->{alawindows} = $o->ask_yesorno('', _("Throw everything away as windobe does?"), 1);
-}
-
-4. add your function selectAlawindows in install_steps.pm (not needed in that
-case, except for auto_install)
-
-sub selectAlawindows {}

-a little DrakX history:
-
-june 1999:
- i start rewriting redhat's install in perl, partly for the fun of it. I'm
- still working for the army
-
-5 july 1999:
- i start full time job at mandrakesoft. But we don't have many computers and i
- must share the accounting computer with Merieme who is working half-time. No
- test machine (i test on others box, and destroyed Jacques partitions once),
- guess how it slows things down?
-
-august 1999:
- at last computers, even test one
- first DrakX version which can install things, very very rough
-
-september 1999:
- a friend of mine help me 2 weeks on DrakX relayed by Francois
-
-november 1999:
- first released version of DrakX (goldpack). Not really stable yet.
-
-january 2000:
- 7.0 is out, with a DrakX quite stable
-
-july 2000:
- dams starts working on draknet
-
-mid-october -> mid-january 2000:
- gc rewrites the stage1 to win every kb we can
- -> size divided by 7 (!) for cdrom
-
-
-The DrakX team is also doing a lot of other things:
-- drakxtools
-- urpmi, early MandrakeUpdate, early rpmdrake...
-- Mandrake Control Center (new DrakConf)
-- packages maintenance/enhancing (esp. ghostscript, 3D-wrappers, lilo)
-- fixing core packages to make them installable
-- scoring packages, sorting them, flagging them... (compssList, rpmsrate)
-- reading/answering cooker and other MLs
-- helping non-perl gurus :)
-
-That doesn't give much. Me being the one more working on plain DrakX. It gives 2
-people working for 1.5 years. IMO it isn't ``spending an enormous amount of
-resources''.
-And what do you mean by ``compared to the code base size''??? DrakX is currently
-around 28K lines, which is big IMO. You can compare it with linuxconf which is
-170K lines. I think the achievement of DrakX is comparable (a 6 times code size
-win from dumb C++ to expressive perl is normal imo).
-
-
-Also it seems like we don't have the same understanding of the word
-"maintenance".
-DrakX functionalities have evolved *a lot* since the beginning:
-
-- hardware detection, configuration, debugging, work-arounding (multi-kernel installs...)
-- making things prettier
- - more bitmaps
- - "advanced" button
- - syslinux graphical boot
-- making it work with latest versions of software (eg: switching to rpm4)
-- finding out the best way to use rpmlib
-- multi-cd
-- draknet: configuring every piece of stupid protocols
-- diskdrake: raid, loopback, LVM, resizing, checking stupid users entry
-- XFdrake: multi-mice, multi-heads, 3D-accel
-- porting to axp/sparc/ppc (with Stew's help)
-- always more i18n
-- keeping things small
- - .cz format
- - moving to .png
- - getFile on demand from mdkinst for ramdisk installs
-
-[...]
-
-> You don't believe the books ? Count yourself; see the man/months spent
-> in 'pure' developoment in drakX, and the resources put in mantainance
-> of the code base; as far as i know, your count should confirm what the
-> books says; more probabily, you will discover that our numbers are
-> even worse.
-
-if you count enhancements, adding features... in maintenance, i confirm the
-numbers, and find them quite normal.
-
-if you only count bug fixing, the time would be much shorter (around 30%).

-How to handle wizard?
-
-to switch in wizard mode:
-set $::isWizard to true;
-if $::Wizard_no_previous is set to true, the wizard won't display the previous button. Usefull for first step
-if $::Wizard_finished is set to true, the wizard will display Finish instead of Next. Usefull for last step
-
-how to code:
-Code as if there were no wizard.
-OK button is displayed as Next
-Cancel is displayed as Previous
-a additional button Cancel is added, xhich die with the exception 'wizard_cancelled'
-
-You have to handle the previous button. For example:
-
-step 1:
-ask_from list( blablablabl) or return;
-step2:
-ask_from list( blablablabl) or goto step1;
-step3:
-ask_from list( blablablabl) or goto step2;
-
-etc... You don't have to handle the wizard Cancel button as it send an exception.
-
-Understood? If yes, you'll see that there is a pb with ask_yesorno. In this case, yes+next returns true, no+next returns false, Cancel send the exception 'wizard_canceled' and previous send the exception 'wizard previous'. So you have to handle the previous button manually.
