############## Known Problems ############## 1) 0.9.7 and later use the new squashfs 4 filesystem. As a result, your old .md files won't be recognized by default. If you want to convert your squashfs 3 .md files to squashfs 4, please use “unsquashfs3” and “mksquashfs” (shipped with 0.9.7+). 2) The GUI installation wizard can only help you install CDlinux to a NTFS or VFAT formated device. This wizard is only a quick hack to help casual/general users, not for hard core gurus who format their USB disk as ext2/3/4, reiserfs, xfs, jfs, etc.. Sorry for the inconvenience, we'll fix this in future release. 3) From 0.9.6, we don't use xorg.conf anymore. If you are upgrading from an earlier version of CDlinux, your original xorg.conf will be ignored and renamed to xorg.conf.cdlsave. If you want to disable this feature, please add a line to your xorg.conf like this: # CDL_AUTO=no 4) The new GUI mixer in CDlinux 0.9.5 may fail to control the volume on some CMedia-9739a based sound cards. For those cards, please use alsamixer instead. ##################### Console UTF-8 Support ##################### since 0.9.5 you can display utf-8 charactors in the console by running $ fbcon with is a simple wrapper for fbterm & gpm. as of 0.9.5, inputting CJK charactors in the console is not supported yet. ############# ISO emulation ############# This version supports boot directly from the ISO image via GRUB4DOS and other boot loaders. Recent versions of GRUB4DOS supports ISO emulation, here is a example menu.lst entry to boot the CDlinux ISO: #============================== begin ==============================# title GNU/CDlinux (ISO emulation) map --mem (hd0,0)/boot/CDlinux/CDlinux.iso (hd32) map --hook kernel (hd32)/boot/CDlinux/bzImage quiet CDL_IMG=CDlinux.iso initrd (hd32)/boot/CDlinux/initrd map --unhook boot #=============================== end ===============================# Or, if the former setting failed, add a line with "map --status" and try again: #============================== begin ==============================# title GNU/CDlinux (ISO emulation) map --mem (hd0,0)/boot/CDlinux/CDlinux.iso (hd32) map --hook map --status kernel (hd32)/boot/CDlinux/bzImage quiet CDL_IMG=CDlinux.iso initrd (hd32)/boot/CDlinux/initrd map --unhook boot #=============================== end ===============================# For other boot loaders, you many need to extract the "bzImage" file and the "initrd" file from the ISO first. Then boot them with the following parameters: CDL_DEV=xx CDL_DIR=yy CDL_IMG=zz For details, please refer to: http://cdlinux.info/wiki/doku.php/doc/faq/inst_wo_burn
