bootopts.sh

how can I make this work , I have tried everything , this is a nice option to keep the base small and just add the modules you want for that session.

# Install all packages in /home/boot/packages. In live CD and

            # USB mode the option home= mounts the device on /home, so we

            # already have a boot directory with the Kernel and rootfs.

            if [ -d "/home/boot/packages" ]; then

                for pkg in /home/boot/packages/*.tazpkg

                do

                    tazpkg install $pkg

                done

            fi ;;

Re: bootopts.sh

I guess it doesn't work since you forgot about dependencies. If the desired package needs ithers, it will try to tazpkg get-install them. If you don't have a working connection, that won't work and the package might be installed but not working.

I chose a similar way, installing small to medium packages just in time when i need them instead of at boot time. I added some specific sudo-rights for my user and added a script in /usr/bin which is called by symbolic links that identify the desired package. I put all packages incl. dependencies in a directory, relink /var/cache/tazpkg there and tazpkg GET-install the package. Since it already resides in the (linked) cache, it's installed without being downloaded again.

For bigger packages (Acroread, Skype, OpenOffice, Thunderbird, Seamonkey, Java), I put together the package with some of the needed libraries and put them together in a squashfs-file, which I simply mount and start the package from. By that, no timeconsuming installation is required but the package works out of the box....

Here's the necessary /etc/sudoers file (which somehow isn't accepted as a file by this forum):

#

# This file MUST be edited with the 'visudo' command as root.

# See the man page for details on how to write a sudoers file.
