Hi guys,

thanks for the great work you've already achieved.

I've developed small bluetooth application for which i am searching an distro to run it on. DSL is the perfect match for this, wouldn't there be the lack of bluetooth support. i now plan to extend all my own version of dsl to meet these requirements. maybe there is some generel interest on these topic so i could share my work and make it available to the others.

to meet your space requirements i plan to build all this as an extension, but i won't be able to achieve this without modifying the kernel. i plan to rebuild the kernel with module support for the bt-parts. modules and util-apz would be packaged in the module. like this one should be able to meet the space reqs. at least i hope so right now.

if you are interested in integrating these parts just let me know in what exact form, and on which exact version you would like me to work on this. in the meantime i will experiment with latest stable version.

kind regards and keep up your great work...

"util-apz"?

Afaik bt support is enabled in the kernel, you just need to grab the modules - but there doesn't seem to be a great interest in bt as there has been no reports of success using those modules, but it's worth a try and a report. See Knoppix 3.4, or, of course, you could always try to recompile...

hi,

i managed to get it run, but it seems something is unstable right now. but as you might have expected i could not get arround without remaster dsl

. doing it i did no manage to reduce image size to 50mb

. all those bluez libs&co did request some upgrades. now i am doing it the clean way one more time, maybe i get rid of getting dsl frozen

but i got my usb-dongle working
;-)

kind regards,

Oliver

If you could post like a guide on what you did it may help others in the future, and possibly someone will know why dsl gets frozen - but nice work!

hi guys,

it seems i finally managed to get bluez fully working on dsl. no more frozen dsl, though i had not much time for testing till now. i'll keep you uptodate about stability of bluez, and compatiblity to java-bluetoothlib in prod-environment

unfortunately i did not match the 50mb space reqs, but i did not bother much about libs, or modules that are not fully needed. some space surely can be freed up, but i don't think you can reduce it to 50mb without loosing some of the dsl features already implemented.

below you can find a very rough guide of what i did, in case of interest i could rework it a little bit, to be more userfriendly ;-) sorry, but time is something very valuable ;-)

kind regards...

Oliver

voila:

setup remaster following knoppix-wiki:

mkdir master
mkdir source
copy contents of /cdrom master
copy contents of KNOPPIX source

manually mount /dev/hda1 !! /dev/null permission denied issue

mount proc
dpkg-restore

change distribution in source.list from oldstable ncah stable

apt-get install bluez-utils

screenshot of conflict

forced installation of libxrandra2.dep using dpkg --forced-all -i ...

screenshot of conflict

apt-get install libxft2

screenshot of conflict

means problem because findversion is not capable of -exec

=> manually adapt postinstallation script unter /var/cache/dpkg/gconf2.postinst

executing chmod go=rX /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults

commenting out find line in gconf2.posting

finishing install with apt-get -f install

voila gconf2 is setup

apt-get install bluez-hcidump
apt-get install libsdp2

copy bluetooth kernel modules from knoppix 3.4 /lib/module

drivers/bluetooth
net/bluetooth

capifs.o
capiutil.o
kernelcapi.o
capi.o

update-modules

umount /proc

make knoppix file
create md5sums
create iso

iso has 80mb

boot from iso

to install on memorystick using usb-zib change size of first partition.

find shell script /usr/sbin/pendrive_usbzib.sh

for this modify line mkdiskimage -1 /dev/$DEVICE 100 64 32
