| To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: |
| |
| 1) run 'make' |
| 2) wait while it compiles |
| 3) run './UMlinux' to test out your root filesystem using User Mode Linux. |
| |
| You do not need to be root to build or run this system. Each Virtual Terminal |
| will be opened in its own window. You must be running X and have xterm |
| installed for this to work -- otherwise you see a few errors on bootup as it |
| tries to launch xterms. It will still work on a console, but you will not |
| have access to the other Virtual Terminals. |
| |
| Also, you the uClibc and busybox source trees that |
| are downloaded are fully set up for anonymous CVS access. You may need to set |
| up your system for anonymous CVS access by running the following command: |
| |
| cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@busybox.net:/var/cvs login |
| |
| Then just hit Enter when it prompts you for a password. You only need to do |
| this once. Then, whenever you want to update your system, just go into the |
| busybox or uClibc directory and run 'cvs update'. |
| |
| Have fun! |
