cool linux
by real_mortal - Jan 17th 2004 20:41:00
Hi!Great linux cd.It is the only one out of knoppix,morphix,and
technomancer live cd linux' that worked with my nvidia 3d card.Awesome.
I am new to linux and have used only slackware a little.I am wondering if
this "cool linux" can be installed completely to hard drive and
then not require any CD to use.I did see install to HDD using first 64 mb
option.However I am not sure what that means entirely.I hope I am making
sense.Thanks in advance.

Screen resolution and refresh rate problem
by TheClon - Dec 18th 2003 07:03:11
Hi,
I just installed cool linux 2.3, but am having problems with the screen
resolution and refresh rate autodetected.
It starts at 1024x768 (virtual) on 640x480 real, so I can't see all the
screen content at once, and the refresh rate is at 60Hz.
I tried setting the screen at boot time on 640x480, but then the desktop
gets crowded too fast... and the refresh rate stays at 60Hz.
Could you please help this Linux newbie fix this little but frustrating
problem?

Hm, you not edit initrd* files from /boot/isolinux on CD? You not rename
some files? fs.img created over squashfs? You not change kernels from
CD?

I copied the directory directly of the CD, I just modified the files of
the fs.img in a separate directory and soon after I used the mksquashfs to
create the fs.img again. Then I used the mkisofs generating the image of
the cd. If it can me to send the files of the project I would thank.

Ups, sorry. I remember now. :)
fs.img is squashfs filesystem. I.e. - read only filesystem. You need first
copy all files on real hard drive directory and recreate fs.img. You can do
it with command "mksquashfs ./rootfs ./CD/live/fs.img -noappend".

It is not possible to install the package " mksquashfs " " Read-Only "
Because the script to install also not in the hd this working. I will wait

1. You need do it as "root" user.
2. fs.img need copy on RW hdd.
3. Install-hdd is old script and it not work. Don't use it!
Now I prepare install script for Cool Linux CD 2.3.

Hm. I don't know swedish language and I don't know how this include in
linux. If you found description of swedish localization - send URL to
my.
But best way - create needed (with correct swedish support)
/etc/sysconfig/i18n, /etc/sysconfig/keyboard and /ect/X11/XF86Config files
and send to my - I include swedish language support in next version of Cool

1. Sorry - news version work going very slowly. :(
I begin this work on RedHat8, but I stop it, becouse in RH8 very many
multimedia soft no present and I can not compile this. :(
Now I install Mandrake 9.1 and test this. This is good disr. I think, in
first time I create minidistro on 180 Mb CDR based on Mandrake 9.1 with
many kernels (including Wolk-server and may be Wolk-workstation kernels for
i386, i686 and Athlon architect).
2. I include many new kernels and I think this problem may be fixed.

After used so great distribution three weeks,I must ask you some questions
to solve the problems.
1.My Linmodem is "rockwell International | HCF 56k
data/fax/modem".It is detected by "kudzn".But after booting
up finished,modem still can not work.How can I do?I think I maybe need
download driver.Should I ? After download,what should do?
2.Can I use kde or gnome,How can i config?Because I found that kdm can be
startup,But no window manager appears.
3.Does this distribution includes wine.I found a directary named wine.Or
none at all.
4.Can I use java ,and does clcd including jvm.If not,How can I install
java,because i am a javaer.
5.I have used "savecfg" to save the config files.And It is fine
also.But why can't I open it by "rar",and "rar" always
show me " unexpected end of file".How can I do?

1. This is winmodem. For work it needed drivers. But I don't know how you
can install this drivers on CD.
2. This CD have not Gnome or KDE. This include kdelib and gnomelib. On
versions 2.x present only IceWM window manager. But in next version I
include Gnome2 (from RH8).
3. Yes - clcd include wine. I test this with Counter Strike and this is
worked.
4. I not certain in java correctly worked.
5. Hm. Why "rar"? For savecfg (on floppy!!!) used tar and gzip. Not rar!
When you run savecfg you config save to floppy. And when you boot, you can
answer "y" on question about load config from floppy.

Thank you very much for your repley!
Do you means that for modem I must move the Image file to HDD? But I
have install win2000 in hda1 and the extended partition is hda5 hda6 and
hda7.Should I format the whole hda7 for CLCD?Is it safety?
Can you tell me how to use wine.Just the simplyest way.Some commands is
suitable for me.And I like cs very much.Hope cs can run under linux.So
sorry for ask you such stupid questions.As you know ,I am a newbie.
Following your tips,I successed in testing savecfg.It is working
normal.Wonderful!
I do hope you are willing to add java support to CLCD.I really do hope
so.If you have no time,let it go.
Thanx again.And best wished!
Though I am a new linuxer ,but in java ,maybe I can do something for

You can install clcd on your hdd, but this is NOT safety! My install
script not detect previosly installed systems.
You can use wine, but for CS (or other 3D shuters) needed OpenGL 3D video
drivers for fast work. Best way - Nvidia cards (clcd include firmware
nvidia drivers). For run you can enter "wine ./cs.exe" (or "wine ./hl.exe")
in CS directory.
In next version of clcd I include java support.

I am glad to tell you that I have fdisk my HDD except hda1 which have
win2000.And I will install clcd into the last partition in extended

If there exist lilo I know how to use two OS in one machine.
If you will include java in next version,I do think clcd will be perfect

Thank you!
If you have no spare time,please answer my question later.Don't be so

Yes. My install script ("install-hdd") copy all files in entered

Sorry, one version of clcd have this bug. Before run install script you
need mount /mnt dir to rw filesystem (in /dev/shm/mnt). Command for this
(after create /dev/shm/mnt if not exist): "mount -o bind /dev/shm/mnt
/mnt".

If you have Cool Linux CD version 2.01, then this is very easy. In this
version you can save config on second or other track of multisession CD.
You can found documantation about this in
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/emergencycd2/SAVE-OPTIONS.TXT?download
Also you can save configs on floppy used command "savecfg".

config option for cool linux CD 2.01
by Andrei Mircea - Feb 3rd 2003 12:55:03
I liked very much your CD and stored my config on floppy succesfully.
However after writing it under a /conf directory in second session on the
CD, the CD did not work any more. It boots but then it says kernel panic,
cannot find init.
Another point : the option of saving things in /dev/hda1 also did not work
for me. I have a vfat partition (Windows 98) there with plenty of room
though.
Except for these two points everything went very smooth, including the X11
configuration and I enjoy exploring this CD.
One more suggestion maybe: why not add other keyboards in the besides
english and russian, they are present on the CD anyway. I found a
satisfactory way to add my own (fr_CH) on the floppy config but it would
have been nice to be able to chose it from a list.

1. May by you save second session wrong? For this you need save
_and_first_ and second session in multisession mode. I.e. without close
session.
2. I will check save config on hdd.
3. I think about any locales in boot menu. But I cannot test this becose I

I have downloaded CoolLinux 2.01 CD Image from sourceforge.net. md5sum is
correct.
How can I burn this ISO image with Nero in multisession mode? I see no
such a option in Nero.
When I write Image with Nero, I can then append session.

This is kernel config for CLCD 2.x and EnergencyCD 2.01 (aka 3.0).

can i use this source
"ftp://213.24.195.17/pub/LinuxSoft/CoolLinuxCD/kernel-sources/kernel-2.4.18-3-xfs.tgz"
to recompile my custom kernel,or, can i use your kernel config file with
the regular 2.4.18-3/2.4.19 kernels available.If u have added some patches
to the sources, can you specify from where i can download your sources.

This kernel is standart kernel 2.4.19 (from kernel.org) with SGI XFS
filesystem patch only.
But you can use this config with kernel 2.4.19 without XFS patch.

where are the configuration files(changed ones) and related stuff's
stored.i need to store them.i know that i can write it to a floppy or part
of the filesystem mounted, so that the next time it boots it uses the new
configuration.but i want to store it in some different way(not floppy/hard

If you have Cool Linux CD version 2.01, you can write your configs on CD

great cd!
by shear - Jan 12th 2003 12:45:53
hi
great cd!
couple questions please:
1) i downloaded cool linux for the specfic reason of transferring a linux
filesystem (a dump of my audrey) from a CF card that resides in this USB CF
card reader http://www.ipowerus.com/Products/CFreader/CFU1201.htm
to a file on my NTFS or FAT32 hard disks for storage. Can cool linux be
made to recognize this CF card reader?
2) i dont see any graphics, i only get asked for how many columns i want
and get text mode. i have built in graphics chip on my abit 845g and also
a radeon 9700 AGP card....

Cool Linux use standart 2.4.19 kernel. If this kernel support your

Cool Linjux

Does anyone know the password for Cool Linux? It boots O.K. but won't let

it wants and I can't find it anywhere.

This is no need password. After enter root you enter in bash without

New Nvidia Drivers Released....
by S F - Dec 16th 2002 21:09:22
Might be a good idea for the CD. :D
I got nfs support working ( the module is included in the 2.01 CD which
was good)
Hope everything else is good...
Any ideas as to when another release is coming?
Uptime is running at: 9:05pm up 20 days, 4:21, 4 users, load average:
0.25, 0.14, 0.12

Yes. I add new NVidia drivers in future release. :)
Now I can not add java-vm support for Mozilla. :( I download xpi file,
open in Mozilla, but after reload mozilla I not see changes. :(

It seems that you have added four users in Coollinux, but can you login
the system with those users, besides root?
the problem i met is that i can creat users, but when i tried logging in,
it said: this account is temporarily unavailable. What's wrong?
Thanks!

Cool Linux ROCKS!!!

There is the Cool Linux 2.01 uptime on this box. Pretty cool eh?
Two questions tho, why no java support and no nfs support to connect as a
client. That would be cool then you could use Cool Linux as a thin client
:D

You install Cool Linux on HDD or work from CD? :)
About java - on CD present Java VM (whereis java, whereis javac). And what
also need for java work?
If I will have more time, I add nfs support.

No HDD install.... It is faster for me this way
16x DVD 512MB RAM PII 350
Works Great.
Java support for mozilla is not working :(
I will be waiting for the next version of Cool Linux that has nfs client
support. Don't need server support, unless you think it is required.
Opera likes to crash, maybe upgrading it to a new version would be a good
idea?

Re: Cool Linux ROCKS!!!

1. How I can check java in mozilla? What URL with java, where mozilla not
work?
2. What need for nfs-client support? Additional rpm or kernel recompile
with nfs suppot (I not work with nfs and don't know this)?
3. On Cool Linux CD 2.01 present 2 versions of opera - 6.03 and 6.10. See
/tmp/opera symlink. You can change this on other version (files -
"opera-6.03" and "opera-6.10").

1.44 floppy image to boot MINI (Emergency) Cool Linux CD ?
by rts101 - Dec 8th 2002 07:20:37
Hello,
I would like to use the "Emergency CD v2.0 MINI" CD with
bootable 1.44MB floppy disk (some systems just don't boot from CD even
though their BIOS seems to support this), but the CD/image contains only
2.88 MB floppy image. I've tried the floppy image from "Cool Linux CD
2.00" (which is 1.44MB), but it looks for different ISO image in
"live" directory to mount...
Do you have a 1.44 MB boot floppy image also for "Emergency CD v2.0
MINI" CD ?
If not, how can I create one ?
Thank you for your time.
Radomir.

Now I upload EmergencyCD 2.01 on sf.net. This is use Cool Linux CD 2.x
technology for bootup procedure. And you can use 1.44 Mb boot image fo |
