Hello James, sorry for fracture english.
I download PizzaBox with some difficulty. I like much PizzaBox site:
it look more professional.
Looking in your system, I was very impressed to see a so large amount
of CGI scripts using only Bash and AWK! I think, PERL should do the
work much better.
I think you have to use bzip2, not gzip, for floppy #2 and #3. This
will create a lot of disk space for new binaries, as Perl.
What is difficult to accept in a evaluation copy is the irrimediable
attitude to format all user's hard-disk at start-up. To evaluate the
system without a scratch PC is not possible!
I realized, in the past, a similar system for a Japanese company,
which run in three floppy, like yours, but using 1722K technology.
This system exand in RAM in 30M: your expand in 6M. A lot of
useful disk space. This system is installed, super-compressed,
in 4M, on a DiskOnChip m-system of 8M. There is 4M free on the chip!
It boot and run also from CDROM, with Apache, NFS, FTP, DiskQuotas,
PCMCIA, 10-15 ethernet drivers, full SCSI support, RAID, PrintServer
and FaxServer, Samba, Backup/Restore etc, like yours.
But your web-administration tool is insuperable: your usage of
Javascript code is ispiring some improvement in mine. Thanks!
Michele
