Documentation

To tell the truth there is nothing to document here. It's a normal PLD and probably in 100% cases it will act in this way. The only thing worth describing is the "profiles" loaded from a diskette on start (initrd).

Diskette should be in ext2 and contain folders which names correspond to the names of the profiles. If you decide to load them, initrd will copy its contents in the order they were passed directly to our PLD before booting: cp -Rdf profile_name/* /

It is possible to put there e.g. files in /etc (modprobe.conf, modules, sysconfig/*) and also home-made configuration files in /root. It would be best if you looked at this example image. When it asks us for writing down a profile we may type: "shared house" or "shared work".

Profiles may also be compressed (diskette can be FAT then). I.e., instead the folder, there can exist a file profile_name.tgz. It will be unpacked: cd /
tar xzvpf profile_name.tgz

I have also added two options in isolinux: shell1 and shell2. Choosing the first one throws us out to shell in initrd just after the auto-detection of IDE and SCSI and just before the try of mounting CD (/dev/hd[a-d]/dev/scd[0-9]). It allows us to load suitable modules (with the help of modprobe), in the case the autodetection fails. Afterwards it is enough to quit the shell (CTR-D, exit).

Shell2 option does the same, but it throws us out to shell at the end of initrd, just before pivot_root (in case we would like to correct/test something).

Scripts for remastering are included on the disc. There is also a short instruction.

After booting the CD we log as root or user without a password.
