How to feed a machine on Klinux?

[marketsons1985]

Another question!

Maybe i'm just a delinquint or something, i'm running rc5 on a machine with klinux, problem is, there's no internet connection! Can i feed it and take the finished blocks through a disK?!

Ooo.... not exactly... :Q

If you only have windoze available, then you need to use the rawrite utility (from Kilowatt's site) to copy the .img to the floppy. If you're doing it from *nix (eg., another linux), you would use the "dd" command to do it. It needs to write bit by bit to that floppy to fit. 🙂

It would help to read the Setup page at the Klinux site.

<<Edit>> Poof darling, The rawrite utility is included with the download.

haha, sorry bout that, me=stupid.

BTW, is there a way i can get the client to put it's buff-out on a floppy from klinux?

Nope, Klinux doesn't include floppy disk drivers. It is best used if you already have a pproxy up and running.

The first time I tried it, I didn't have a pproxy, so I couldn't fetch/flush. But I found Freesco, another linux on a floppy, and I was able to sneakernett buffer files to the system. I believe you can find the site here: http://www.freesco.org/ So in addition, you will need a 2nd floppy with the dnet client and your buffer files. Are you familiar with mounting/unmounting floppies under linux?

I believe the command to mount is:
mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mount {then you cd mount}

Unmount:
umount /dev/fd0 {but you can't be in the mount directory}

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong

Hmmm... Kilowatt, maybe you and Polo should get together to create a Sneaky version of KLinux. 😀

Thanks Kilowatt! You can tell that I use dd instead... 😉

BTW, got my Klinux up and running and crackin on a Celly! No muss, no fuss 😀

Well, if you're into Linux, and know about ext.2 filesystems, mounting &amp; umounting floppies, figuring out how to &quot;sneaky&quot; would be a no brainer.

Klinux has no Dos or Fat support, as that was just all to big of a kernel to include.
