Re: xterminal
Because of the many requests for such a package I think I'll work on it over
the weekend. Reading Debian-Policy ;-) and find out how to build my first
.deb (and how to upload it somewhere... whereever).
Some Informations on my Setup for discussion:
I use netboot to make netbootable kernel and bootable floppy/rom-image.
Setting up bootp-server to hand over ip, kernel and location of /
Setting up tftp to transport kernel
Mount / over NFS
Now comes the xterminal-root-filesystem:
It has just enough to start init and a xserver (alltogether 3800k,
depending on the xserver) which queries a xdm running somewhere.
Basically thats all.
To build it in the right way from the first try I do need some help on the
following questions:
1. To which directory ($DIR) on the bootp-server should the xterminal-
filesystem according to the FHS go?
2. In which directory should the kernel to be tftped located? I use /export
with the tftpd started in /etc/inetd.conf with
tftp dgram udp wait nobody /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.tftpd /export
3. Should the xservers, provided by the bootp-server for the xterminals, be
installed to /usr/X11R6/bin on the server and than hardlinked to
$DIR/xterminal/usr/X11R6/bin. Or should there be a special $DIR/xserver
directory containing all provided xservers?
4. I have one problem at the moment. I wanted to enable reboot with
ctrl-alt-del, so I inserted
ca:12345:ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t1 -r now
in inittab. (I _can_ use "halt" and "reboot" when I boot to ksh, both do
work)
But pressing ctrl-alt-del just gives me a "You don't exist. Go away!"
(Nice message though.) Who knows why?
That's all for the moment but I bet there is more to come ;-)
Well, I'll do my very best...
Ciao Klaus
