Site News :: DSL v3.1 is out!

Neither have been posted yet.
It was just 12/17 that I finished dsl-dpkg.unc and adjustments to core.
Still adding more to core 3.2RC2. Hang in there. It will be soon.

Thanks - in the meantime, I've noticed a problem with a small script I use to mount the Knoppix CD.

Prior to using unc packages, I used to use the following command:

# mount /mnt/hda5/Download/Linux/KNOPPIX_V3.4-2004-05-04-EN.iso /ramdisk/image -t iso9660 -o ro,loop=/dev/cloop10

When I use the same command, I get an error "1794 Segmentation fault". Should I be using a different command now?

Why are you using cloop devices? (Although any kind segfaults are bad :/ - plus it did work before...)

Afaik, you can use mount file.iso -o loop /where/to/mount
Should automatically mount as ro and set -t and find a device.

The iso is not a cloop. The file KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX is.

# mount /mnt/hdax/dsl-xxx.iso /mnt/test -o loop

works.

If your goal is to get to the KNOPPIX compressed file then you will need an additional mount command

# mount /mnt/test/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX /mnt/image -o loop=/dev/cloop63

Works fine!

Hmm, wasn't typing straight there...

In fact I was using the commands below - these seemed to work up to the point I mixed a dsl package (dsl-dpkg) with unc packages. It was at this point I got the segmentation fault.

I see there is a dsl-dpkg.unc for DSL 3.2 RC2 now - I will start using that and consider this problem closed.

#mkdir /ramdisk/image
#mount /path/KNOPPIX_V3.4-2004-05-04-EN.iso /ramdisk/image -t iso9660 -o loop,ro
#mkdir /ramdisk/unpack
#mount /ramdisk/image/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX /ramdisk/unpack -t iso9660 -o ro,loop=/dev/cloop50
