I'm going to make a custom LiveCD. I want to strip out programs I won't use, but I don't have to. At boot I want X to connect to a specific IP address that is running the X server? The X command is "X --query [address]" and set resolution to 800x600x32. I don't need the enhanced desktop stuff to run or dillo.
First off, this is for a bunch of laptops, will this X command work with the x framebuffer (xfbdev) or xvesa? If so, do I just edit the .xinit.sh?
I've seen how to shut off dillo
| Quote | just edit one of the last lines of /home/dsl/.xinitrc....
It will be saying something like:
"dillo -f /home/damnsmall/html/opening_message.html &>/dev/null &" Just remove that line. |
Do I need to shut off enhanced mode or will it not load by virtue of connecting to another X Server?
I also need to load a wireless card driver by default on boot. I will probably have to compile the driver specifically for DSL, but I've got that down. Where do I drop the driver if it is a module? I plan on using cloop to unpack the "knoppix" compressed filesystem, but I'm unsure if it differs from a standard Linux. Can I just drop the module into a /usr/src/linux-2.4.22-xfs/modules or am I way off base? I don't have a Linux box in front of me right now to look up the standard module path.
Once I drop the driver module in, is there anything special to do to get it to automatically set itself up w/ DHCP by default. I don't want users to have to run netcardconfig or wlanconfig or anything. This has to be dummy proof.
If anyone has the answers to any part, please feel free to reply. I will just have to get all the answers together by the time I'm finished. This is going to end up being a boot disk for something like LTSP, but on a laptop, with wireless.
