Minimal Root-FS frankensteinian style (part 3)

... continued from part 2. now the frankenstein part. as we cant run glibc/java based apps yet, we have to get them from somewhere. the good thing is that busybox contains a very basic but working rpm command implementation. cp glibc-*.rpm zlib-*.rpm $FSROOT chroot $FSROOT /bin/sh rpm -i /*.rpm exit if you want bash instead of the basic ash from busybox get the bash and ncurses, ncurses-base, ncurses-libs and ncurses-term rpms from the same source as the glibs packages. cp ncurses-*.rpm bash-*.rpm $FSROOT chroot $FSROOT /bin/sh rpm -i /*.rpm exit chroot $FSROOT /bin/bash the chroot with bash should work now ! --tbc

Minimal Root-FS frankensteinian style (part 1)

Ever wanted to create your own minimal chroot/rootfs with runs java and/or basic glibc applications ? Here is what you need: BusyBox static compiled from https://busybox.net/downloads/binaries/1.28.1-defconfig-multiarch/busybox-x86_64 a build of syslinux https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/ glibc, glibc-common, glibc-utils, glibc-minimal-langpack from https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/29/Everything/x86_64/os/Packages/g/ zlib from https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/29/Everything/x86_64/os/Packages/z/ to install busybox execute: export FSROOT=/home/build/.../rootfs mkdir -p $FSROOT/usr/bin $FSROOT/usr/sbin cd $FSROOT && ln -s usr/bin bin cd $FSROOT && ln -s usr/sbin sbin cp busybox-x86_64 $FSROOT/bin/busybox chmod +x $FSROOT/bin/busybox chroot $FSROOT /bin/busybox --install -s so a simple " chroot $FSROOT /bin/sh " should work for you. --tbc

Ars Magicka Rant

Having played and gm'd both Ars Magicka and World of Darkness (Mage/Vampire/Wraith) i'd like to elaborate on the following: As a WoD follower -- i liked the Ars Magicka link till the medieval versions of the relevant major Setting came about. As a ArM follower -- i never liked the link to WoD, because it gave away too much of the upstream history to happen doing away with much of the fantasy content. Still, IIRC having played ArM as a chronicle mostly on two differing Levels: Covenant Style as a Play by Email Mixed Party/Troupe Style for major events or individual stories on round table. The PnP/RT outlasted the PBEM by a couple of years at least on my part, as i became dissatisfied with covenant management (note: the PBEM seams still ongoing after some 14 years by some sources) If there is a need to play a party of medieval/fantasy style magick users, ArM is IMHO your best choice available today, followed by Mythus/Aerth, RoleMaster or Earthdawn -- your milage ...
