** Info on using MoviX cvs **
How to checkout MoviX files
---------------------------
Just use the following commands:
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.movix.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/movix login
[when promted for a password just press Enter]
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.movix.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/movix co MoviX
What is included in the MoviX cvs tree
--------------------------------------
Most of the MoviX package size is occupied by the binaries initrd.gz
[where the fs is stored], vmlinuz and mplayer-fonts.
It does not seem a good idea to include those files in the cvs root,
so what I did is keep out of the initrd.gz all important scripts so that
most of the modifications needed to the package will not involve anything
inside it.
Basically it works like that: the rc.S file inside the initrd.gz automatically
loads the CD [this means in particular that it must take care of loading
the SCSI modules to make MoviX work also with SCSI CD-ROMs] and copies
and runs the file rc.movix it finds in the movix directory.
All relevant instructions about what to do next are written in the rc.movix,
so that almost everything is easily customizable from there.
What are you supposed to get from the latest MoviX tarball
----------------------------------------------------------
After you checkout the cvs tree you still have to download the latest
MoviX tarball and extract from there the following files/dirs:
src/isolinux/initrd.gz
src/isolinux/kernel
src/mplayer
