| |val| | hi all, someone can explain what options "replace" and "applies" (in gfxboot.cfg) excatly do to isolinux command line ? | 00:03 |
|---|---|---|
| * cjwatson reminds himself | 00:08 | |
| cjwatson | |val|: so here's an example: | 00:09 |
| cjwatson | label workstation=Install a workstation | 00:09 |
| cjwatson | replace workstation=file=/cdrom/preseed/workstation.seed | 00:09 |
| cjwatson | applies workstation=install | 00:09 |
| cjwatson | |val|: the 'replace' there causes any existing 'file=' parameters in the command line to be replaced with 'file=/cdrom/preseed/workstation.seed'. (compare 'append', which would just append the argument to the command line without checking.) | 00:10 |
| |val| | ok and what about applies ? | 00:10 |
| cjwatson | hang on I'm typing | 00:10 |
| cjwatson | |val|: the 'applies' means that the "Install a workstation" option should only be available for selection in the "Modes" menu if the option corresponding to 'label install' in isolinux.cfg is currently selected in the main menu. | 00:11 |
| cjwatson | in other words this permits the definition of modes that only apply to some top-level boot methods. | 00:11 |
| |val| | ok I undestand well !!! | 00:12 |
| |val| | thx a lot | 00:12 |
| cjwatson | the point of all this was to reduce combinatorial explosion of top-level options. | 00:12 |
| |val| | cat /proc/cmdline is quite cool ! | 00:14 |
| |val| | just a question...are there differences between an ubuntu cmd-line system and an xubuntu one ? | 00:16 |
| |val| | have a nice day... | 00:26 |
| lfaraone | cjwatson: why is it that you remove a device after formatting it in the usbcreator backend? | 02:17 |
| lfaraone | cjwatson: (what would happen if you didn't pop it from devices and call the device_removed action on the frontend?) | 02:18 |
| cjwatson | lfaraone: usb-creator is evand's code rather than mine, so I'm not sure | 08:44 |
| cjwatson | you'd need to ask him | 08:44 |
| lfaraone | evand: why is it that you remove a device after formatting it in the usbcreator backend? (what would happen if you didn't pop it from devices and call the device_removed action on the frontend?) | 13:08 |
| Torgoton | During install on a low-memory machine, when it says "set up swap space as soon as possible", how would I do that? I do have a swap partition on the drive, and I'm attempting to install using the netboot files. | 15:19 |
| evand | lfaraone: best to check ~evand/usb-creator/future as I'm on the cusp of merging that back into trunk (just have some somewhat invasive changes to add a devicekit backend to commit on top of that) | 18:53 |
| * evand heads out | 18:53 | |
