I am trying to create a knoppix 3,8 from a debootstrap for personal curiosity.
# deboostatrp sid /sid-knx http://ftp.debian.org/debian/
i created also a cross-compilation ambient for sparc ... and i "chroot" to sparc-cross to compile from source the packages ... in this way i can check if they can be cross-compiled.
i hope you excuse me if i'm going to ask something (let's say) strange or stupid, but i'm not a programmer or developer .... i'm simply trying to check if the knoppix sources can be cross-compiled for sparc and then if they are ok i use them to build a knoppix from 'debootstrap' for i386 .. just a first step.
well .. the first source i've tryed to compile and cross-compile has been sysvinit from linuxtag ... but it seems not possible the cross-compilation, so i used sysvinit-2.86 sources, it's good because it's splitted in three different packages .. and in this way i made a sysv-rc that contains also this:
sysv-rc: /etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig
sysv-rc: /etc/init.d/knoppix-halt
sysv-rc: /etc/rcS.d/S00knoppix-autoconfig
sysv-rc: /etc/init.d/knoppix-reboot
sysv-rc: /etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig.orig
and inittab is the one from knoppix ...
(cross compilation ok for sysvinit-->sysvinit, initscripts, sysv-rc)
then :
ash-knoppix 0.2-4
ddcxinfo-knoppix 0.6-5
etcskel-knoppix 0.6-29
hotplug-knoppix 0.5-7
hwdata-knoppix 0.107-8
knoppix-graphics 3.6-1
knoppix-splash 0.1-5
knoppix-splash-utils 0.1-5
knoppix-terminalserver 0.5-25
kudzu-knoppix 1.1.36-2
kudzu-knoppix-dev 1.1.36-2
kudzu-knoppix-vesa 1.1.3-3
mkdesktophdicons-knoppix0.5-5
rebuildfstab-knoppix 0.5-6
scanpartitions-knoppix 0.5-10
startnessus-knoppix 0.5-3
sudoers-knoppix 0.5-1
user-profile-knoppix 0.6-29
xf86config-knoppix 0.8-5
xsession-initscript-kno 0.5-12
xsession-knoppix 0.5-54
(cross-compilation ok)
then i apt-get the same xserver*.deb as knoppix 3.8.
hwsetup ... i needed to dpkg-repack .... suggestions?
(PS: cd /usr/lib/;ln -s libpci.so.2 libpci.so.1 doesn't work)
#apt-get xfce4
and i corrected isolinux config to use xfce4 as desktop...
then i create mylive.iso ... qemu -cdrom mylive.iso
everything works ... but ..

at the end i've an almost working knoppix but i can't use X ...
i hope you can help me in some way ...
