Armijn Hemel 89df039e35 * store the value of hotplug in /etc/sysconfig/hotplug and cat this value 
to /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug during boot. (FIXME, install hotplug during
install of NixOS)
* /dev/input is created by udev

Armijn Hemel 78767321ce add something so we modprobe some stuff for at least one family of USB 
controllers (uhci-hcd). This is of course not very elegant: even if a
machine does not have USB, or another USB controller this module will loaded.
A better way would be to let some hardware probing program run first, but
that is "future work"

Armijn Hemel 9cbf8a84fb enable swap during install 
svn path=/nixu/trunk/; revision=4503
 2006-01-07 14:36:13 +00:00
Armijn Hemel bdf2a61d91 add /var/run/usb. This is needed for hotplugging. Actually, this is probably 
the wrong place to make these directories. After all, if we build this into
a real installer what do we know what to install? Perhaps we will use a
completely different hotplug implementation that won't use this directory.
Ah well, future work ;)

Armijn Hemel f20d80957c add some testscripts for generating kernel modules layout. Right now too

Armijn Hemel fe355bba78 replace a lot of tools we initially use with statically linked versions. 
This reduces the ramdisk installer size with a few megabytes when gzipped,
but with about 40 MB when unpacked in memory.

There are a few improvements possible:

- strip the binaries. This saves another few MBs.
- only copy the binaries we really need to /bin or /sbin. This could reduce
the size of the installer a lot, especially with util-linux, of which we
don't use that many tools at all.
- try to move some packages we link with glibc right now (like util-linux) to
dietlibc. This will not work for bash, already tried that.
- try to use busybox as a replacement for everything.

Armijn Hemel de289092b2 - various cleanups 
- have mingetty listen on tty2 (but this still fails because of missing /dev/log
- get rid of /init on the targetdrive, solely use /sbin/init (and even that has to go one day)
- use dietlibc statically linked e2fsprogs for the installer. More to come :)
