"unable to open old console..." means that kernel can not mount any root filesystem, not the Initrd initialization problem. Moreover, to correct this, the key is that livecd.squashfs must be in place and can be mounted by linuxrc. I have no idea about loadlin.exe.(I never use it.)
dialup program, hmm, I exclude such old-fashion networking way when I building IBOX. Sorry, maybe next version will include such programs.
Recently, I am very busy in my resume writing and finding job. I have no time to develop IBOX. Sorry ;-(
1. loadlin.exe is very similar to the normal boot loaders except that it is started from DOS. Thanks for your advice, I have some cues to try again.
2. 教主, the dialup program is still necessary! Let me explain in a more detail. Think about the purpose of a LiveCD, usually you will use a LiveCD under the following situations:
2.1 People want to try before installation. In other words, they want to experience Linux but not convinced to install yet.
2.2 You want to do a demonstration to show what can be done with Linux.
2.3 New mode of mobile computing. If I ask you to bring a notebook computer or a LiveCD + USB flash disk, what is your choice?
2.4 You want to work on a computer which does not belong to your own, i.e. someone can lend you a computer temporarily but he don't want you install anything to it.
I was on trip a couple of days ago. I used to bring Knoppix + USB flash disk with me so that I could work remotely from the office. But I made a mistake this time, I brought iBOX with me instead of Knoppix. I brought iBOX because I intended to promote iBOX and demonstrated how it was superior over Knoppix (in certain areas). I was challenged on how to access the internet via dial up network. They have a modem but no ADSL. I was very embarassing but luckily, all the audiences were impressed and they asked me to leave the iBOX CD for them.
In the past, I wonder why Knoppix is so successful, and now, I know the reason. It is because Knoppix can cater the needs for everyone.
Finally, good luck for you to get a good job/career. |
