Clarity Every effort to make and show a base minimal system that easy to navigate in a LAN setting as the MACs and Windows do, OOTB Just make module with samba package, copy it to live/modules and at next boot you get it OOTB. But. I think samba is not intuitive tool for file sharing to newbie ...

smbclient So the smb stuff is what all of us would use in our LAN environments. I use mount.cifs it is included. And it is enough to access to smb. samba and its utilities including smbclient, tldr, btop (as you know is probable the best of the "top" commands), hardinfo2 and fastfetch/neofetch ...

I have looked on your site here: https://github.com/doglinux/book-worm/releases Hi It is not my site. I prefer to make releases as liveusb tree not .iso file. As i told before.

fredx181 Hi I am sorry. I forget to keep dm-crypt.ko in initrd in last patch.

About zram, wouldn't it be better to add zram to the modlist and copy it too from mkinitrd ? But frankly I don't know if it's required for when a user wants to make use of zram. I never try it. In standard Debian use zswap by default. zswap requires swap partition or file. zram not require swap ...

Will the next ISO version of this distro have the admin tools I referenced as missing?

Curious

Can you provide debian package names for?
I can look at it, and maybe include something.
Or if i choose to not include it - anyone can make modules by apt2sfs.
Keep distro slim small size in priority.

Just out of curiosity - tg3 uses firmware but I can't see anywhere in the initrd scripts where firmware gets included. No firmware included in initrd now. realtek r8169 have firmware too /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/ but it works without it. I think most popular is realtek now. I use PXE boot frequently ...

Thanks. I think we fix problem with tg3 Broadcom Netlink BCM57780 Ethernet adapter What was the solution - to remove tg3 or to include the broadcom module? Hi For normal boot - remove tg3 from modlist For PXE network boot add broadcom module to initrd + add to linuxrc code to modprobe broadcom in ...

Edit 2: Using your latest initrd, the distro is finding the adapter on boot to desktop; namely 'eth0' is now found and IP assignment proceeded successfully. Hope the status is helpful. Thanks.

So, better to not include firmware-misc-nonfree, and ignore the warnings?

If you have such hardware you need firmware-misc-nonfree, if not have hardware - not need.

network modules don't need to modprobe in initrd except for PXE booting. Reverted back now the changes (so no modprobe i915) from the initrd1.xz . So... as if nothing happened :mrgreen: , same as it was 2 days ago. For a part it was nice time spending ;) i915 firmware needed for corresponding ...

On the initrd replacements, I ONLY do ISO file booting for my Frugal usage. Your methods suggest to have and extraction type of installation environment. On that PC there is no OSes or extracted versions of an OS of any sort. Thus, in my case, I would have to unload the ISO file to a folder, then ...

Ok, but that all seems very complex IMHO (and unfortunately I cannot test nvidia), what would you advice for a user to make nvidia work without creating extra .squashfs modules, but just to install the necessary for to save changes in the save storage when the new initrd is in use ? (I remember ...

EDIT : Short explanation: The purpose of param nvidia_detect is: load pre-created .squashfs modules with proper nvidia driver version for video card discovered by lspci (or not load it if no one of corresponding video card ID's present). More details (but please, anyone correct me if I'm wrong ...

I always hesitate to mix stable with unstable, do you think this is safe ? (even if it's just temporary to have sid repo in sources.list it may give trouble from what I experienced) edit: or if it works ok for the purpose of just creating a .squashfs module, shouldn't it be better to remove the sid ...

fredx181 Thanks. Would you agree if I incorporate your changes ? (so that it will be included in the initrd on a new mklive build, and also in e.g. upgrade-kernel package) Yes.
