Title: AMINUX updated
Post by: OlafS3 on February 28, 2015, 12:17:21 AM
Pascal has updated AMINUX

Aminux r3 changelog:
Updated linux ground
Updated to latest "stable" FS-UAE
Updated to latest AROS Vision
Created a 4GB FAT32 extra partition (8GB USB stick is required)
-> people can install AmigaOS there or add adf's

If you use a bigger USB-Stick you can use gparted (included) to resize partition or add more to the stick.

This is something I'd like to try. Hope the file will be available for download again soon.

the limit is 50 GB a day, AMINUX is 5 GB so it has reached limit rapidly. I will try to download it myself next week and upload it next week (if possible). Otherwise simple try to download it from time to time.

AMINUX based on MICROKNOPPIX for X86

(http://www.aros-platform.de/AmigaWriter_b.png)

MUST BE WRITTEN TO USB-STICK with "dd" or WinImageWriter32 or similar tools.

What it does:
It is based on KNOPPIX and boots into FS-UAE running AROS VISION 68k distribution done by Olaf Schönweiß.

It works with ATI, Nvidia and Intel GPU's.

The slowest system i had for testing was a 1.5GHZ Celeron with Intel915 Chipsset.
It worked good for ECS and AGA games.

Network is working out of the box if "wired"
Wifi has to be edited from Preferences Menu in Linux. Quit FS-UAE with F12.

For powering of you just need to press your "power button". A requester will appear.
PLEASE DON'T POWER OFF YOUR COMPUTER BEFORE LINUX DOES THE SHUTDOWN! IT WILL POWER YOUR SYSTEM OFF.

WRITING TO USB IS SUPPORTED.

Dang, and people complain about Windows and OSx being bloated   :-)

Seriously though, interesting, but daaaamn,... really needs some work. It's little more than a bunch of files thrown together. Not really what Id call a distro as such.
The same content and functionality could be offered for a few hundred meg.

Desperately needs optimising.

The Linux/host side is interesting though. Would be cool to see it get used with a proper distro.

Out of curiosity, I wonder how small of a distribution could it become?

Post by: fishy_fiz on March 02, 2015, 04:24:37 AM
My 680x0 aros hosted on x86 aros experiment was a little under 50MB for a fully functioning system.
Was quite minimal in regards to software, but it wasn't optimised heavily either.
Should be able to fit a heck of a lot of stuff within 100MB.

Would one do away with the other web browser if there is one on the amiga side and other redundant apps?

I never did mess with this, is it even worth bothering with?

The included development environments/compilers have much more than those 100 MB so I would like to see how you get everything below 100 MB. Added_Components are included for documentation/legal reasons and can be deleted (if you want to). But even then the rest is far above what you mention. And if it is only a "bunch of files thrown together" or not can be discussed. But you are free to do a better one yourself.

Threw it on a fresh out of the package 32 GB USB stick, booted up fine and fiddled with it a bit, wasn't disappointed but didn't really have any reason to keep the install on the media.  I do have a box with AROS running on it anyways (dual boot AROS/Amithlon machine), so I just grabbed AMINUX to fiddle around with.  No slight intended, I did enjoy using it, but had other uses for the space it was eating on my new USB stick.

Rebooted to my usual OS, which saw the USB device as bad and I had to format it.  Hope it was just a bad USB stick.  Fresh out of the package, though.

Maybe your usual OS fails to recognize the partition scheme. If it's Windows, it won't recognize the ext* file systems.

I tried with Amiga Forever 2011 (I think?) and was never able to get a successful install.

I just tried with 2012. It installed fine on one of my computers, but when I tried to boot, it locked up.

I got a chance to use Aminux3. I like it and hope to use it more.
There are some things I am not for sure I like but I bet it will get better.
My clone pc here got a boot error, but my HP machine ran it fine.
You have to save and restart to get past the Wanderer prompt to close all other widows.
I think that is how it went.
Good Job to all involved.

If you make a torrent out of it, I'll happily lend my VPS as seed box until the torrent is self-sustaining. I still have a few hundreds gigs of transfer this month. :)

it is Pascals account so I cannot say much

I myself have a account with unlimited transfer volume, the biggest problem would be to get it on the server

Post by: whabang on March 13, 2015, 05:57:49 PM
SCP or FTP would be the easiest options. Also, if you're on shared hosting then unlimited plans aren't usually unlimited when 5 GB files with lots of downloads come into the picture.

Anyway, drop me a PM if you need it seeded. I'll have it set up tomorrow.

Pascal has moved it exclusive to his app store. So if you want it get it from there

http://aros-broadway.de/indiego/marketplace/index.html

I will propably go in the same direction offering my own development(s) by the app store
