- copy LAST_FILELIST_NUMBER to /tmp, for compatibility with Mondo v1.3x
- incorporates NFS-related settings, if supplied by Mondo v1.3x

- /sbin and /usr/sbin added temporarily to PATH when Mindi runs
- if Mondo asks then force LILO to run in backward-compatible mode
- if Mondo\'s tmpdir has post-nuke.tgz in it then extract it and incorporate its files in the data disks
- losetup /dev/loop0 -d before calling LILO (Norm Crowfoot)
- if keyboard mapping dir (usu. /lib/kbd or /usr/lib/kbd) cannot be found then don\'t abort; simply tell the user the default keyboard mapping will be used
- added /dev/hd[a,b,c,d][17-24] to the rootfs tarball
- won\'t use LILO\'s optimizations when creating boot floppy; however, optimizations are used on CD unless --broken-bios in call to Mondo
- won\'t write data disks to start of tape; lets Mondo do that
- tweaked how Mindi moves all.tar.gz around, to make it more Mondo-friendly
- tweaked Mindi\'s disk-splitter
- user must unmount /dev/loop0 before calling Mindi: LILO insists...
- added NFS-related entries to deplist.txt
- if not called by Mondo then don\'t let user choose Interactive/Nuke/ whatever; just offer Expert
Tue Dec 25 11:00:00 2001 Bruno Cornec 0.51-1
- Updated to 0.51-1

- include tape-related modules on boot disk, if backing up to tape
- creates a tape-friendly tarball containing tools+modules
- reassembly of tools+libraries is more reliable now
- streamlined deplist.txt
- give user their localized keyboard layout at boot-time
- fix some cosmetic bugs
Wed Dec 19 11:00:00 2001 Bruno Cornec 0.50-4
- Updated to 0.50-4
- log Mindi\'s version# in the event of a fatal error
- make Mindi\'s boot-time output more esthetically pleasing
- if filesystem is type \'image\', according to Mondo, then in filelist its partition type will be listed as the hexadecimal string (e.g. \'b\', \'83\', etc.) and the partition mountpoint will be \'image\'
Sat Dec 15 11:00:00 2001 Bruno Cornec 0.50-2
- Updated to 0.50-2
- support for newer features in Mondo v1.3x

Sun Dec 9 11:00:00 2001 Bruno Cornec 0.48-2
- Updated to 0.48-2
- when insmod\'g modules from ramdisk\'s root dir, use \'ls /
*.o
*\' (was \'ls /
*.
*\') to find them
- if RAID controller(s) are detected then pause for 10s to let them intialize by themselves (some 3ware RAID controllers require this)
- cleaned up /sbin/init and /sbin/post-ini; the former now controls initialization of hardware, drivers, tools, etc. and the latter runs mondo-restore if it exists
- better detection of and compatibility with SCSI CD-ROM drives
- chopsize is now 64KB; was 128KB
- cleaned up mindi\'s logging
Sat Dec 8 11:00:00 2001 Bruno Cornec 0.48-1
- Updated to 0.48-1
- better logging of find-and-mount-cdrom\'s progress (to /tmp/mondo-restore.log)
- somehow, lilo was re-enabled in deplist.txt; DISABLED (again
*g
*)
- added \'linear\' to the list of modules Mindi always backs up
- if called by Mondo then pass the name & device of the user\'s boot loader to the restore phase, by copying BOOTLOADER.
* to the ramdisk

- aware of \'iso\' boot mode, for future expansion
Tue Dec 4 11:00:00 2001 Bruno Cornec 0.47-1
- Updated to 0.47
- added /dev/cdrom/cdrom[1-4] to the devices automatically excluded from mountlist.txt
- added \'-f-\' to the end of most tar commands, to see if it fixes a bug in some obscure Debian distros
- added network-related dependencies to deplist.txt
- if called by Mondo then don\'t write floppy images to disks; let Mondo do that: less irritating for user
- if called by Mondo then do some clever tricks to add mondo-restore and its dependencies (mondo-restore is now a dynamic executable)
- finally gotten klogd to squelch echoing of kernel msgs to console
Thu Nov 29 11:00:00 2001 Bruno Cornec 0.46-1
- Updated to 0.46
- finally fixed that \'lib/modules/2.4.12-xfs not found\' bug! :-D
- cosmetic changes and minor bugfixes
- excluded lilo.conf and lilo from deplist.txt; use user\'s copy instead
- if your fstab mentions a RAID partition but your raidtab doesn\'t then Mindi will terminate in a sane manner with a sane error message
- fixed a bug in bug-me (heh, how ironic)
- include and run (sys)klogd to try to pipe kernel msgs to logfile
- call hdparm to speed up access to CD-ROM drive

- Updated to 0.45
- disabled fsck.
* in deplist.txt
- include /etc/fstab in logfile
- removed lzop.
* from aux-tools; should come from user\'s distro anyway
- tweaked data disk size and data disk formatting command
- make ISO bootable image (as well as floppies) when backing up to tape
- copy boot images (floppy + CD) from temp dir to /root/images/mindi after making them, just in case the user wants them later
- added md5sum to deplist.txt
- added pico->vi softlink to ramdisk
- in the ramdisk\'s /etc/bashrc, added /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/sbin to the PATH= command
- call insert-all-modules as background task; pause 3 seconds after calling it, before proceeding <--- /sbin/init
- call to devfs has been moved to before call to post-init
- added \'md5sum -> busybox\' softlink
- Mindi now uses busybox\'s printf, md5sum, mount, umount, vi ...NB: I said, \'vi\' :-) Now you have an editor again! :-)
- added lilo.real to deplist.txt, to allow for Debian\'s evil new distro
- added lzop to deplist.txt
- no longer including lzop in Mindi\'s tarball / RPM
- improved Mindi\'s error-reporting a little bit
- changed deplist.txt\'s /etc/
* to just
*
- restructured the calls in /sbin/post-init that reinitialize the LVM and RAID modules
- if mkfs.ext2 is not in PATH then abort
- Mindi uses a \'filename cache\' to speed itself up at run-time (Jean-David Marrow)
- Red Hat 7.2 uses a weird /etc/issue.net; I\'ve worked around it...
- tested with Linux-Mandrake 8.0 and Red Hat 7.2
Sun Oct 28 11:00:00 2001 Bruno Cornec 0.44-1
- Updated to 0.44
- at boot-time, activate LV\'s if they exist
- restructured deplist.txt a bit (cosmetic change)
- re-enabled fsck.
* in deplist.txt
- analyze-my-lvm fails gracefully if you\'re not using LVM but inserted the module anyway
Sun Oct 21 12:00:00 2001 Bruno Cornec 0.43-1
- Updated to 0.43
- made Mindi work with Red Hat 6.2 and 2.2.19 kernel
- if mkisofs is not found, say so; don\'t just say, \'an error occurred while I was trying to make an ISO image\'
- when formatting and writing floppies, if /dev/fd0\'s size is indeterminable then I\'ll use /dev/fd0H1440 instead
- make sure xfs.o, jfs.o, reiserfs.o, ext2.o, ext3.o modules are backed up (if they exist) to boot disks
- fixed a silly bug that stopped Mindi from handling its own modules properly; only affects newbie users with broken kernels (i.e. the very people that Mindi\'s failsafe kernel was meant to help!)
- added lzop (Marcus Oberhumer\'s file compressor) to aux-tools.tgz
- added Bruno Cornec\'s \"--cd-recovery\" patch; if user uses the switch (i.e. \'--cd-recovery yes\') then the CD will boot to a screen that pauses until the user types RESTORE; then, it will enter Nuke Mode
- added Stephan Zegherd\'s \"superformat\" patch
- failsafe kernel is now 2.4.12 with XFS, JFS and lots of SCSI modules; the addition of XFS and extensive SCSI support will increase the size of Mindi\'s RPM / tarball significantly but I think it\'s worth it
- at boot-time, find out whether there are any RAID partitions; and if there are, whether they are \'started\' yet; if not, run raidstart to start them at boot-time, before user can try to mount anything
- Mindi\'s failsafe kernel & modules are handled more elegantly now; if you have raid1.o, scsi.o, etc. loaded at backup-time then Mindi finds its corresponding modules in its tarball of failsafe modules and stores them so that at boot-time you can do SCSI, RAID, etc.
- removed gawk, printf from deplist.txt
Wed Oct 10 12:00:00 2001 Bruno Cornec 0.42-1
- Updated to 0.42
- make sure lvm-mod, raid0, raid1 and raid5 modules are backed up
- added \'you need a ramdisk\' to FAQ
- changed the slice size from 20KB to 64KB; speeds up Mindi by 25 percent and doesn\'t have any negative side-effects (...that I can see)
- when searching for your current kernel version, do not examine a file if it does not exist (it sounds obvious, I know...)
- when asking user to send me a copy of their log file, point out that it may contain info which they do not want me to see but that they are SOL unless I can actually see their log file
- fixed a silly bug that would crop up when a Linux-Mandrake 8.1 user would use a devfs-enabled kernel and RAID partitions at the same time
- plays nicely with devfs-enabled kernels and distros
- data floppies are now 1.44MB each; boot floppy is still 1.72MB
- if binutils or libbinutils is not installed, abort
- fixed a bug which meant that some big files overwrote each other at backup-time and caused library-related problems are boot-time
- enabled comments (\'#\') in deplist.txt
- disabled fsck.
* in deplist.txt; user may re-enable the line if s/he wants those tools available at boot-time
- tested successfully with the following distros - Linux-Mandrake 8.1 and its 2.4.8, devfs-enabled stock kernel - Red Hat 7.1 and its 2.4.2 stock kernel
- better at guessing the size of swap partition
- drop minix tools from deplist; user can restore them if s/he wants to use the minix filesystem
- don\'t backup _all_ cdrom modules (if backing up \'cdrom.o\'); be selective! ...minor bug in ListKerneModulePaths has been fixed
- if the user has two glibc libraries - one in /lib and one in /lib/i686 - then Mindi will re-jig the softlinks so that only the version in /lib is backed up, to save space on the data disks
- major rewrite of the code that copies the tools and libraries from the data disks; prettier, faster and more stable (and did I mention how kind it is to your hard-working hands?)
- better handling of crazy libraries and softlinks thereto
- new boot-time script, \'bug-me\', copies user\'s logs to a floppy and tells him/her to e-mail them to me if mondo-restore aborts
- ignore kernels named vmlinux (note the \'X\'); traditionally, kernels are named vmlinuz (note the \'Z\') or something similar
- no longer backup all modules to CD/tape; just backup the ones loaded at backup-time; this saves boot-time ramdisk space
- removed all references to LOOPDEVICE
- LVM is supported (experimental; watch this space...)
- included a tarball of \'sane\' /dev/loop
* nodes which will be extracted and added to the boot disk; this helps maintain Mindi\'s backward- compatibility with non-devfs kernels and distros
- when copying modules to boot or data disks, uncompress them first if they are gzipped (some distros come with compressed modules)
- no longer copies all loaded modules to the 2.88 MB El Torito bootable floppy image; instead, it copies FLOPPY_MODS to the 1.72 MB image, CDROM_MODS to the 2.88 MB image, and _all_ modules that were loaded at backup-time to the data disks - supports tape streamers, in conjunction with Mondo
- uses busybox\'s sync again; let\'s see if that breaks anything...
- if Mondo is backing up to tape streamer then write the tape\'s size to /tmp/TAPESIZE and the drive\'s device to /tmp/TAPEDEV-LIVES-HERE on the ramdisk
- floppy disk modules (ide-floppy.o and floppy.o) now are copied to the ramdisk, whether the user\'s kernel or the failsafe kernel is being used
Fri Sep 28 12:00:00 2001 Bruno Cornec 0.41-1
- Updated to 0.41
- excluded
*.old from the \'boot.b\' list when searching for boot.b
- updated Mindi\'s own failsafe kernel+modules to v2.4.10
- added umount to deplist again
- improved Mindi\'s support of modular kernels (esp. modular CD-ROM drive and floppy disk drives)
- don\'t accuse Linux 2.4.10 users of having a \'buggy kernel\'
- restored the libc5 versions of sync and umount (dropped from deplist but also from busybox)
- fixed a lot of silly bugs related to incorporating Busybox in Mindi
- experimental LVM support
- added \'analyze-my-lvm\' script to the tarball; Mindi uses it now
- able to recognize & record LVM mounts, adding them to the mountlist
- added the LVM executables (listed in the lvm-0.xx-i386.rpm) to deplist.txt; they won\'t be added unless you have them and you won\'t
have them unless you\'re using LVM, so this is not \'bloat\' IMO :)
- added date and sync to deplist again
- when working on LVM stuff, use \'echo y | pvcreate -ff\' (was \'..-f\')
- amended format-...-kludge to allow for mountlists with >1 spaces between cols checked the fsck.reiserfs is in deplist.txt (yes it is)
- incorporated busybox 0.60-1; now, Mindi is faster at run-time and smaller at boot-time; you can fit a typical system onto 3 floppies; also, a kernel up to 1MB in size (approx.) can now be accommodated
- supports kernels that have MODULAR support for CD-ROM\'s or floppies
- Mindi copies only the loaded modules to the data disks but it copies _all_ modules to the CD, just in case
- thanks to busybox your floppy-based Mindi boot disk set should now be able to accommodate a kernel of up to 1MB in size
- boot into Expert Mode unless boot disk was generated by Mondo
- exclude all softlinks from list of \'eligible\' kernels
- exclude kernels with \'vmlinux\' in their names
- removed A LOT of files from deplist.txt\'s dependency list; they are listed in deplist.removed, in case you want to put them back :-)
- excludes libX11, libXext, libXi, libgtk, libgdk ALWAYS, whether you add them to deplist.txt or not; [cancel this by editing line 485]
- rewrote AddFileToDir() to make it more efficient (but slower...)
- strip chaff from binaries; strip comments from bash scripts; strip comments from /etc/termcap
Sun Sep 16 12:00:00 2001 Bruno Cornec 0.40-1
- Updated to 0.40
- if you use a softlink to your CD dev, e.g. /dev/cdrecorder->scd0, then Mindi should handle it properly now (i.e. not bomb out)
- if you have a large kernel & lots of modules loaded, Mindi will only copy as many modules to the ramdisk as will _fit_ on a ramdisk that will have to go alongside your kernel on a 2.88MB floppy disk
- if your kernel does not support loopfs, Mindi will say so & abort
- turned some warnings into fatal errors, to help the user to figure out exactly why Mindi won\'t work on their kernel
- changed mke2fs -N24 to -N32, to see if it helps braindead distros
- Mondo now tells Mindi whether or not to use its stock kernel
- gone back to the old \'insert-my-modules\' for now; it\'s more reliable
- working on the \'insert-all-my-modules\' script, to make it compatible with a wider range of insane distros and kernels
- dropped the \'-c\' option from LILO call - removed cdrecord, mkisofs, vi, route and diff from deplist.txt
- slowed down the \'split data between floppies\' routine; made it try harder to squeeze more data onto each floppy
- excluding nvidia modules from the \"insert-all-my-modules\" script because it sometimes causes freeze-ups
- added code to copy your fstab, lilo.conf, etc. to a tarball which, in the event of an error, Mindi will ask the user to e-mail me
Sat Sep 8 12:00:00 2001 Bruno Cornec 0.39-1
- Updated to 0.39
- plays nicely with devfs, so long as your old /dev/hdX, /dev/sdX softlinks are still there :-)
- if your swap partition isn\'t mounted, Mindi will decide that it is 125MB; it used to abort but now it just warns & makes a good guess
- testing the failsafe kernel & associated scripts
- only use lilo\'s \"-c\" option if NOT a 2.88MB floppy disk image
- copes better with .o, .gz, etc. module suffixes
- better \'loaded modules / not loaded modules\' feedback at boot-time
- semi-forces isofs and ide-cd (not isofs.o and ide-cd.o); the former will be more compatible with stock kernels - e.g. Red Hat, Mandrake; also added vfat, fat & a few other modules to the list of \'foced\'.
- removed the \'-c\' switch from the call to LILO (some BIOSes don\'t like it very much)
- removed chaff from ramdisk\'s /etc/login.defs, saving approx 7K
- format the boot disks with -N 24 (was -N 64)
- do not insist on CD #1 (at boot-time) if there is no \'CD #\' marker
- amend format-and-kludge-vfat; now, it will not abort if it cannot find its entry in mountlist; it doesn\'t need to find the entry anyway, except to check that the kludge works (which it does)
- if user chooses to use Mindi\'s failsafe 2.4.9 kernel, Mindi will load Mindi\'s versions of user\'s modules at boot-time
- make label-devices-as-necessary log its efforts
- added e2label and tune2fs to deplist.txt
- if you boot in Normal Mode, I\'ll call mondo-restore --interactive instead of just mondo-restore
- replaced K7-compatible 2.4.7 kernel with a 586-comp\'ble 2.4.9 kernel
- improved the post-run clean-up
- force the copying/loading of isofs.o and ide-cd.o, which enhances Mindi\'s support for kernels that have modular CD-ROM support
- Interactive Mode offers to edit /tmp/mountlist.txt before running mondo-restore (good idea from F. Boon)
- /dev/hd[e-h]
* have been added to the ramdisk
- disabled Cuckoo and Bootstrap Modes (they weren\'t doing anything anyway & were probably confusing some users)
- removed \'edit mountlist?\' question (because mondo-restore takes care of that now, via a user-friendly mountlist editor)
- included a copy of mondo-manual.html
- only kludge /dev/hda1 or /dev/sda1 (if vfat, of course); otherwise, use regular mkfs.vfat
- use mkfs.dos if mkfs.vfat does not exist
- moved some scripts from rootfs.tgz to Mondo\'s restore-scripts.tgz
Sat Aug 18 12:00:00 2001 Bruno Cornec 0.38-1
- Updated to 0.38
- clarified the \'more than one kernel found\' comment
- updated the README to emphasize that the scripts are deprecated
- when displaying mountlist on screen, make it easier to read
- changed most \'echo\'s to \'LogIt()\'s; log most screen output to /var/log/mindi.log
- user can now use a stock 2.4.7 kernel (which comes with Mindi) if the user\'s distro\'s kernel isn\'t right for a boot disk
Sat Aug 11 12:00:00 2001 Bruno Cornec 0.37-1
- Updated to 0.37
- changed the \"cannot boot from CD-ROM\" message (more informative now)
- if an \'insmod\'ed module cannot be found, warn but don\'t abort
- that whole loop-mount/extract tgz to ramdisk thing --- if it fails, abort, don\'t try to continue; also, ask if loopfs is supported by kernel (if not, that might explain the error)
- in addition to /lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules, also search /root/oss/modules for kernel modules (Phillip Deackes)
- run syslog and klogd at restore-time, to pipe sys & knl messages to /tmp/mondo-restore.log
- default restore-time boot mode is now \'interactive\' (unless the disk is a 1.72MB, in which case default mode is still \'expert\')
- if CDROM can\'t find itself (long story, re: El Torito) then the script will say, \"Your kernel is b0rken.\" This will reduce the number of erroneous error reports that I receive from users
- working on implementing Cuckoo Mode again
Fri Aug 3 12:00:00 2001 Bruno Cornec 0.36-1
- Updated to 0.36
- testing it with LM8, RH71 and Slack8

- warn if afio not found (Mondo needs afio)
- optional --custom switch added, to let the user specify where the temp dirs and created images will be stored
- changed /sbin/init to install modules _before_ trying to mount CD-ROM (David Granz)

- if LILO fails, it writes its errors to the screen
- use user\'s boot.b and LILO instead of Mindi\'s
- tarball/RPM no longer includes boot.b or lilo
- mke2fs\' output will be echoed to screen, if an error occurs
- doubled the -N inode allocations and removed some of the -i inode fiddles, just in case they are making Red Hat 7.1 choke
Wed Jul 25 12:00:00 2001 Bruno Cornec 0.34-1
- Updated to 0.34
- includes patch to rid Mindi of its dependence on /dev/loop devices
(Bill Davidsen)
- includes patch from 0ystein Skalsem, to fix a disk-formatting problem
- warns if kernel is 2.4.0-2.4.5; encourages user to upgrade
Fri Jul 20 12:00:00 2001 Bruno Cornec 0.33-1
- Updated to 0.33
- excludes all devices containing \':/\' (i.e. NFS mountlists)
- the FORMAT/SYS replacement, \"format-and-kludge-vfat\" now writes its logfile to /tmp/format-and-kludge-vfat.log
- /etc/fstab now mounts floppies for read/write access by default
- format-and-kludge-vfat should only write to log once now
- added vi, top to deplist.txt
- updated the rootfs.tgz\'s README
- mountlist is written to screen as well as mountlist.txt
- tested with Linux 2.4.7; works fine
- changed \'mkfs\' lines, to format the loop-mounted files instead of the device nodes which makes Mindi work better with kernels 2.4.6+
- Mindi can now handle kernels of up to 930K in size
- sped up the process of spreading data files across data disks by approx 20 percent
Wed Jul 18 12:00:00 2001 Bruno Cornec 0.32-1
- Updated to 0.32
- software RAID is now supported
- added the \'raidtools\' binaries to deplist.txt
- add /etc/fstab and /etc/raidtab to deplist.txt
- added /dev/md
* to the ramdisk\'s /dev directory
- modified MakeMountlist() to calculate correctly the sizes of RAID partitions, if they are present in /etc/fstab
- moved the \'LOOPDEVICE=...\' code into the regular main() section
- install-additional-tools makes a softlink \'/etc/raidtab\' that points to /mnt/groovy-stuff/etc/raidtab; also, \'/etc/fstab.orig\' that points to /mnt/groovy-stuff/etc/fstab
- added line to \'install-additional-tools\' that will delete the dummy modprobe before installing data from datadisk(s)
- mkdir -p $outdir at the beginning, just in case...
Mon Jul 16 12:00:00 2001 Bruno Cornec 0.31-1
- Updated to 0.31
- slightly better install.sh and README
Sun Jul 15 12:00:00 2001 Bruno Cornec 0.30-1
- Updated to 0.30
- added klogd and syslogd to deplist.txt
- can now cope with Red Hat\'s \"LABEL=\" entries in /etc/fstab
- should ignore NFS-mounted partitions now
Sat Jul 14 12:00:00 2001 Bruno Cornec 0.29-1
- Updated to 0.29
- stopped the \'modprobe\' errors that used to occur at the beginning; they didn\'t mean anything but they did worry some novice users
- removed losetup from rootfs.tgz (wasn\'t doing anything useful)
- removed the \'txt-or-gui\' stuff from Mindi (never used it anyway)
- added clear to deplist.txt
- moved rootfs.tgz\'s \"mondo/\" scripts to Mondo\'s \"restore-scripts.tgz\" tarball; tarball will be untarred and contents added to the data disks at run-time, if Mindi finds the tarball
- if user lacks fd0u1722 but has fd0h1722 then use the latter
- boot-up msg is more informative
- fixed obscure bug in find-and-mount-cdrom
- better at coping with hda1/2/3/4 (normal people use hda1/5/6/7 but if you really want to exhaust your primaries, well hey, your life)
- the \'outstring sucks!\' message is now more informative
Sat Jul 7 12:00:00 2001 Bruno Cornec 0.28-1
- Updated to 0.28
- if AddFileToDir() is called with a file that does not exist, Mindi warns but does not abort
- should work with gzipped modules (which end in \'.o.gz\') and NVidia modules (which don\'t end in anything)
- should work with Red Hat\'s issue.net now
- misc. cosmetic changes to Mondo boot-time and restore-phase scripts, to make the visual output cleaner & more legible
- insist-on-cd retracts the CD tray after asking for next CD, in case the user did not close the drive before pressing
- if unable to create 1.72MB boot disk then warn but do not abort
- put creation date on the boot-up screen
- create data disks with tarballs up to 1700KB in size; tries harder to fill each data disk to the brim
- changed the call to make ext3 partitions; now, it uses a call to mkfs -t ext3 -j -Jsize=10 -q (as requested by ext3 manual)
- tested w/ext3; works fine
- install-additional-tools doesn\'t call sync until after all softlinks have been finalized; that\'s to make sure we call the _right_ sync
- ramdisk is now (size of all files in data disks PLUS 8192) KB
- RPM and SRPM published
- mount CDROM at start of untar-me, just in case it wasn\'t mounted
- when restoring selectively, log the archives that have matches & the number of matches (inc. if zero)
Thu Jul 5 12:00:00 2001 Bruno Cornec 0.26-1
- Updated to 0.26
- has been tested with XFS, JFS, ReiserFS, ext2 and vfat
- compatible (but not tested) with ext3
- better at finding your kernel, even if you have several kernels of the same version (now checks the build date, too)
- better file-spreading algorithm; a little faster; much more reliable
- includes a copy of LILO, to make the boot disks properly
- tells you how big the tarballs are, when it assembles them
- compare-me uses \'insist-on-cd\' instead of internal subroutine
- it looks as if Mindi can actually cope with 920K kernels now :)
- fixed some silly multi-CD bugs that would stop big files from being restored if they were spread across CD\'s
Wed Jul 4 12:00:00 2001 Bruno Cornec 0.25-1
- Updated to 0.25
- uses its own copy of lilo
- removed all \"~\" (backup copies) from rootfs.tgz
- updated the rootfs\'s README - stablilo-me, not hack-me
- improved the formatting of the lilo.conf as it is created
- replace all libc5 tools with libc6 (user\'s) tools at restore-time
- added diff to deplist.txt
- copy io.sys and msdos.sys (if found) to data disk(s) at run-time; softlinks them to /
*.sys at boot-time
- fixed some vfat formatting-related issues w/Embleer (always tricky); the kludge\'s error-handling is better and its exit is more graceful
- say \'type nuke to restore automatically\' in msg if Mondo called me
- backup all modules, not just the ones present/loaded at run-time; the loaded modules go on boot disk but ALL go on data disk
- reduced the max data per disk from 1700 to 1680, to suit ext2\'s needs
- DidMondoCallMe() replaces \'ps ax | grep | blah blah\'
- includes user\'s /etc/termcap and /usr/bin/pico on disk(s)
- cosmetic changes to restore-time scripts (spaces, newlines, etc.)
- pipe kernel\'s msgs to /var/log/messages
- make sure /etc/lilo.conf is 600 (RW by root only)
Tue Jul 3 12:00:00 2001 Bruno Cornec 0.24-1
- Updated to 0.24
- can accommodate a kernel >900KB in size
- generates lilo.conf on-the-fly; no default/template file anymore
- copies io.sys and msdos.sys to the CD (if you have them)
- add the embleer tarballs to mindi-0.xx.tgz, so that users can format and make bootable msdos/Win9x partitions
- added printf and hdparm to deplist.txt
- incorporated Bruno Cornec\'s Mondo 0.991 scripts in Mindi
- separated README into README, INSTALL and TODO
- fixed silly {ramdisk}/sbin/InsistOnCD bug
- took out mke2fs and libext from rootfs.tgz
- rootfs.tgz\'s \"/etc/bashrc\" now includes /usr/share/mindi
- compare-mode uses IDE optimization to speed things up
- don\'t quibble over resizing partitions if <2MB difference
- fixed silly InsistOnCD bug
Mon Jul 2 12:00:00 2001 Bruno Cornec 0.23-1
- Updated to 0.23
- don\'t copy
*.mdsg to boot floppy image
- fixed erroneous \'cannot make ISO image\' error message
- can accommodate a kernel as large as 890K
- now uses lilo, not syslinux (lilo works better w/2.88MB boot images)
- creates & formats disk images on the fly (no more .img.gz templates)
- boot disks are formatted ext2, like the data disks
- creates 1.72MB and El Torito 2.88MB boot floppies/images
- if called by Mondo, doesn\'t list images or offer to copy to FDD/CDRw
- includes the distro\'s name and kernel version in LILO\'s message
Sun Jul 1 12:00:00 2001 Bruno Cornec 0.22-1
- Updated to 0.22
- don\'t add a ramdisk; use rootfs & that\'s it
- dependency-calculator runs approx. twice as fast as in v0.20
- tested with Linux Mandrake 8.0; works well, if you recompile kernel to include floppy disk support (which LM8\'s kernel does not)
- supports bigger kernels now, up to 900K in size
- deplist.txt may now include directories, not just files
- ignores kernel filenames that are hyperlinks
- uses awk instead of gawk; drop the awk/gawk-finding thing
- uses gzip, not bzip2; dropped bzip2, mv, ls to make rootfs smaller
- copies user\'s /dev/fd0
* devices to boot disk
- calls Mindi\'s copy of syslinux, not user\'s copy
- use modules\' paths, e.g. instead of just \'insmod fubar\', use \'insmod /lib/modules/2.4.5-ac117/vfat/fubar.o\'
- in boot.msg, XXXXX is part 1 of the 2nd line, YYYYY is part 2 of the 2nd line, and ZZZZZ is Mindi\'s version# (in the 1st line)
Sat Jun 30 12:00:00 2001 Bruno Cornec 0.21-1
- Updated to 0.21
- df, du, find, lsmod, rmmod have been removed from rootfs.tgz
- at boot-time, inserts kernel modules w/user\'s original parameters
- deletes the slices after recombining them & restoring the files
- includes the MINDI_VER version number in boot.msg
- if boot disk is too small, lists the files & which one is too big
- syslinux now waits 10 seconds before booting floppy
- \'insert-all-my-modules\' is copied to rootfs, not to a data disk
