Village RC1 and Firefox
patrick013:
Hi,
One question. Being a Firefox addict I installed it but the download window
remains blank thru downloads, etc.. Any idea the cause ? Only little problem
with Village RC1 so far. Runs a lot better than a few other things I've tried
lately. Always like distros with WICD.
One other question, If I remaster the program is there an option to run it
completely in RAM as an ISO ?
Runs like a pretty stable program on my machine.
THX

Was that Firefox or the Debian Iceweasel?
Regarding loading into RAM I'm chasing that up now. Whilst you're waiting maybe you'd like to try Village_RC2 ;)

Hi,
Do you access the "isolinux" directory which will be included in your iso ? If yes, you should add the entry in the txt.cfg file - check in it to be sure the boot entries are there, nowadays they should be there instead of isolinux.cfg as it used to be. (See in a distro where "to ram" is implemented, such as Parted Magic, and adapt accordingly, then you will have to test to see if nothing else is needed... it might also need something in the initrd, but if so I don't know what).

OK, here is the lowdown on how to load your live cd (I use the term cd to also include usb device) direct from fragadelic himself.
First up, make sure you have enough ram!! Now boot from your cd. At grub hit the "tab" key to edit. Add "toram" at the end of the line and hit return. Then wait for the usual process to go ahead. To test if it all worked go to your FM and eject the cd. The system should continue to run. It works on my P4 with 1gb of ram and running Village_RC2 - 414mb compressed.
To remaster with this parameter edit in "toram" to /etc/remastersys/isolinux/live.cfg as below.
--- Citer ---label live
menu label Live
kernel /live/vmlinuz
append initrd=/live/initrd.img boot=live config toram quiet splash
label livefailsafe
menu label Live (failsafe)
kernel /live/vmlinuz
append initrd=/live/initrd.img boot=live config noapic noapm nodma nomce nolapic pci=nomsi nomodeset radeon.modeset=0 nouveau.modeset=0 nosmp vga=normal
label memtest
menu label memtest - Run memtest
kernel /isolinux/memtest.bin
append -
label hd
menu label hd - boot the first hard disk
localboot 0x80
append -

Then remaster. You new spin should automatically load to ram and allow you to remove your cd. Everything should work faster, especially if you are running a cd and not a usb device.

There are a handful of things I would need you to clarify, most of them being because I'm not fully fluent in English.

What is "lowdown" ?

Do you mean the console in the Live CD ? And what do you refer to in relation with the USB device ?
(sorry... I'd really like to understand fully)

So, you don't edit grub boot line do you ? Is it Grub you are talking about, or isolinux ? ^_o
--- Citer ---label live
menu label Live
kernel /live/vmlinuz

I think you could use it to create one more boot entry instead of modifying the default live, which would offer the choice to the user:
--- Citer ---
label live
menu label Live
kernel /live/vmlinuz
append initrd=/live/initrd.img boot=live config quiet splash
label To RAM
menu label Live to RAM // or something looking like
kernel /live/vmlinuz
append initrd=/live/initrd.img boot=live config toram quiet splash
... // and so on
