<2005> Jan 26 Release of partboot-1.6.21-usb-2.4.20 Jan 20 Parted updated to 1.6.21. Jan 10 While testing, the mkfs command in Parted-1.6.20 seems not to work well (it does nothing). It may take a while to fix it; Parted-1.6.19 is adopted instead. lphdisk-0.9.1 added in the supplement disk. <2004> Dec 29 Parted updated to 1.6.20. Ntfsprogs updated to 1.9.4. Some tools in e2fsprogs-1.35 are added to the supplement disk: badblocks dumpe2fs tune2fs e2label Dec 28 Busybox is updated to 1.00. Fundamental command set is renewed: * Feature updated and works well as you expect: move cp tar (and some others) * Were standalone commands. Combined in Busybox: umount chroot init halt reboot swapon swapoff fgrep killall sed uname * Added as combined commands: basename bunzip2 bzcat cpio cut dirname du echo env free grep pidof ps strings time tty unzip freeramdisk getty hdparam poweroff * Removed (rarely used or can be substituted with other commands): login math mnc star tarcat block_device mingetty update * Could be combined but are still standalone commands for compatibility reason (may be combined for the future): fdisk mount insmod rmmod modprobe vi sh Now Busybox init is adopted instead of SysV init: - shell runs on /dev/tty*, not on /dev/console; the job control (Ctrl-C, Ctrl-Z, etc.) is now enabled. - configuration files are modified accordingly: /etc/profile /etc/inittab /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit /etc/rc.d/rc.halt Bzip2 is now available. The supplement disk is compressed with it. Small modifications: - Now the machine is shutdown with "poweroff", not "halt". - Bash prompt changed. - Do not invoke unnecessary "rmmod" on halt. May 30 Did not check if device is busy on "cardctl eject". Fixed by modifying supp/etc/pcmcia/ide. Now the command "fuser" is unused; deleted.

May 19 /etc/pci/pcitable updated to the verion of "2004-04-26" only scsi entries are extracted to save filesize May 16 Parted updated to 1.6.11 May 14 SCSI tape devices /dev/st[0-3] and /dev/nst[0-3] are created. Apr 25 Keymap configuration support: - several keymaps added in /lib/kmap - configuration script /sbin/kcfg added - keymap converter "kmapconv" included Apr 10 Fdisk updated to 2.12a Mar 22 Release of partboot-1.6.6-usb-2.4.20 Mar 21 "find_fstab" script added in the supp disk Mar 19 Parted updated to 1.6.6 ntfsprogs updated to 1.9.0: /usr/local/lib: libgcc_s.so.1 (unchanged) libntfs.so.5 -> libntfs.so.5.0.0 libntfs.so.5.0.0 /usr/local/bin: ntfsfix ntfsinfo /usr/local/sbin: mkntfs ntfslabel ntfsresize ntfsundelete -Os option applied to make ntfsprogs-1.9.0 <2003> Aug 4 Previous (June 9th) release had a problem that it did not work with USB keyboard. Fixed by setting CONFIG_USB_HIDINPUT to "y". Jun 9 Release of partboot-1.6.5-usb-2.4.20 Jun 6 ext3 and cp932 included in kernel config. Jun 4 a kernel patch applied to suppress the message: "kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k scsi_hostadapter" May 30 revised supp/install script: - scsi module path updated - use pcic_probe to detect pcmcia controller added /usr/local/lib in ld.so.conf (virtually meaningless) May 29 chose pcmcia kernel driver set CONFIG_ISA to "y" set CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDETAPE to "m" pcmcia cardmgr updated to pcmcia-cs-3.2.4 May 24 chose 2.4.20 kernel linux-2.4.20-ntfs-2.1.4a.patch applied bzip2 patch applied fat.o vfat.o msdos.o and nls.o moved to supp disk May 17 Parted updated to 1.6.5 used -Os option in configuration libc.so.6 updated from libc-2.1.2.so to libc-2.1.3.so ntfsprogs-1.7.1 bundled in the supp disk: /usr/local/lib: libgcc_s.so.1 libntfs.so.4 -> libntfs.so.4.0.0 libntfs.so.4.0.0 /usr/local/bin: ntfsfix ntfsinfo /usr/local/sbin: mkntfs ntfslabel ntfsresize ntfsundelete <2002> Dec 20 The "install" script in the supplement disk had mismatch with the last (Dec. 18) updated "pcitable"; it wouldn't detect any proper scsi module with the pcitable. Fixed. Dec 18 Release of partboot-1.6.4-usb Dec 16 "pcitable" updated Dec 15 parted updated to 1.6.4 For speed efficiency, "CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA" and "CONFIG_IDEDMA_AUTO" now enabled in kernel configuration. NTFS (read only) module included in the supplement disk. "CONFIG_SYSCTL" enabled to activate /proc/sys/kernel/real-root-dev because parted try to read it in mount check procedure. var/testpak.tgz seems to be no longer used; removed.

Jul 21 usbcore.o is embedded in the kernel for space efficiency. now halt command does a poweroff. - set CONFIG_APM=y in kernel config - add -p option to /sbin/halt in rc.halt now Ctrl-Alt-Del does a reboot. - /sbin/reboot is linked to halt parted updated to 1.6.2 Release of partboot-1.6.2-usb Jul 8 didn't include usb-ohci.o (because I haven't had OHCI hosts) - set CONFIG_USB_OHCI=m - modify rc.local Jun 22 Release of partboot-1.6.1-usb Jun 21 unload modules on halt Jun 20 didn't stop pcmcia on halt - add killall in /bin (supp disk) - modify "install" to stop pcmcia at runlevel 0 (supp disk) Jun 18 fdisk updated from v2.10m to v2.11n Jun 10 parted updated to 1.6.1 - libdl.so.2 added - USER file removed due to disk capacity umount did not work on exit - /etc/rc.halt modified - /sbin/halt replaced - /etc/profile modified and linked to /.bashrc Some corrections in README file README.jp added Feb 3 Release of partboot-1.4.21-usb Jan 26 kernel configuration: - SCSI generic support -> "n" - SCSI tape support -> "m" Jan 25 "testprobe" anaconda-6.2.1.1 updated to anaconda-7.2 Jan 14 linux-2.2.19-parted kernel configuration: - SCSI generic support -> "m" - CONFIG_NLS_DEFAULT -> cp437 - CONFIG_NLS_CODEPAGE_437 -> "y"
