This is a dump of my root & usr & var filesystems. Filesystem layout follows the Linux filesytem standard 1.2. Space consumption: root filesystem: ~ 5 MB usr filesystem: ~ 51 MB Files of this distribution: watchtower-2.README watchtower-2.INSTALL watchtower-2.PACKAGES watchtower-2-root.CONTENTS.gz watchtower-2-root.tar.gz watchtower-2-usr.CONTENTS.gz watchtower-2-usr.tar.gz watchtower-2-usrdoc.CONTENTS.gz watchtower-2-usrdoc.tar watchtower-2-var.CONTENTS.gz watchtower-2-var.tar.gz There is no source tree for this distribution. Sources were taken from Slackware, GNU, Sunsite and Debian mirror sites. Binaries (gcc, binutils, libc, gdb and few other things) were taken from ftp.phil.uni-sb.de and ftp.uni-erlangen.de. Consider these filesystems as an intermediate solution, until a port of one of the big source trees is available for Linux/68k. Use these filesystems on your own risk! All binaries are in ELF format. To make this distribution compact, I removed all a.out compiler stuff and a.out static libs. You can't build a.out binaries with these filesystems. You will be able to run a.out binaries; I kept the a.out shared libs libc.so.4.6.7, libm.so.4.6.27 and libcurses.so.1.0.0 The filesystems are prepared for the forthcoming 2.x.x kernels but also work fine with 1.2.13pl10. They contain everything you need to run a Linux system in a network. However, the emphasis is on networking. For some areas, like editing, reading mail or news, there are a lot of packages around and everyone prefers another. So I decided to install some widely used packages. watchtower-2-usrdoc.tar contains the man, info, doc and install trees. The doc tree contains documentation from the source distributions. The install tree contains Makefiles, etc. watchtower-2.PACKAGES contains a list of the packages provided. watchtower-2.INSTALL contains installation instruction for people familiar with Linux. Have fun! Michael Marte marte@informatik.uni-muenchen.de PS. If you like these filesystems, send a post card to Michael Marte Muenchnerstr 26 82178 Puchheim Germany
