Re: unpacking & rebuilding

Hello Pat and the list,

I am eager to play with mulinux because it seems very well done (I am
TRINUX user from the start and I am looking for alternative) : I want to
prepare dedicated floppies for my maintenance purpose but other netcard
modules are needed, so it is obvious that I must modify the distribution.

About my unpack/rebuild problem

Thank for your advice, but I do not understand what is wrong :

1- I start within an empty directory on an "almost everything" SuSE 6.4
distribution

2- I untar the 9r5 distribution ('tar -xzvf ../mulinux-9r5.tgz')

3- I simply use the unpack and its reverse (./mu -u; ./mu -r) without
moving anything (immediately after the tar -x)

(PS: I have tried the mu script line/line to understand what it is doing)

Perhaps the test mke2fs -O failure is the reason (my system must support
it :

man mke2fs ....
      -O feature[,...]
              Create the filesystem with the listed set of fea­
              tures (filesystem options). The following features
              are supported: sparse_super, which cause the
              filesystem to use sparse superblocks, and filetype,
              which will cause the filesystem to store file type
              information in directory entries. Currently, both
              features are turned on by default unless mke2fs is
              run on a system with a pre-2.2 Linux kernel. Warn­
              ing: Pre-2.2 Linux kernels do not properly support
              the filesystems that use either of these two fea­
              tures. Filesystems that may need to mounted on
              pre-2.2 kernels should be created with -O none
              which will disable both of these features, even if
              mke2fs is run on a system which can support these
              features.
