ttylinux instructions
Does anyone in the devel team recall how the ttylinux rootfs was
created, by which I mean what changes were needed? Nothing detailed,
just "oh, just /etc/fstab" or whatever. I haven't yet compared
myself, though I'll figure it eventually.

For XenCD, I'd like to ship a pristine ttylinux instance on the ISO
image, and have the XenCD startup process copy that the pristine
tree, and make a few tweaks after the copy to produce a functional
rootfs.

PS. Networking seems broken in the XenCD ttylinux VMs; advice is
welcomed.

Vanilla ttylinux is designed to run from a ramdisk, so I think one of the
changes was to rename the / device from /dev/ram0 to /dev/sda1.

I recall some networking stuff was removed from the image but don't know
specifics.

HTH,

The XenCD build script (available in subversion) as of 1.0pre02 now
creates a functioning, network-capable ttylinux rootfs from a pristine
ttylinux 4.4 distribution.

It indeed turned out to be simple, as expected. /etc/fstab,
/etc/resolv.conf, /etc/network.conf, /etc/network.d/interface.eth0,
disable hwclock, remove 00.firewall, 40.pppconf, 50.isdn, seems to be
the complete list used in XenCD.
