Dear All,
I want to create linux distribution on one CD, like Virtual
Linux. I try to use some compressed file system. I cannot use cramfs
because supported file size is too small. I try to use cloop but I cannot
compile on Red Hat 9 with kernel 2.4.20-19.9smp. Here is a error message:
cc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -s -I.
-fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -fomit-frame-pointer
-mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=i386 -D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE
-fno-builtin -nostdlib -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-19.9/include -DMODVERSIONS
-include /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-19.9/include/linux/modversions.h -D__SMP__
compressed_loop.c -c -o compressed_loop.o
compressed_loop.c: In function `clo_read_from_file':
compressed_loop.c:202: too few arguments to function
`do_generic_file_read_Rsmp_5d257537'
make: *** [compressed_loop.o] Error 1
Would you tell me how to solve this problem? Or, please suggest other
compressed filesystem that support large file size.
Thanks,
Theewara

I recommend you trying the latest Red Hat kernel from Rawhide. You can
download the kernel sources from:
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide/i386/RedHat/RPMS
look for a package called kernel-source*.rpm, download it, install it
and don't forget to run "make mrproper" before anything else.

Have a look at customising knoppix (which uses cloop), rather than
starting from scratch.

I use cloop_0.68-4.tar.gz sucessfully on redhat 9 (2.4.20-8smp)
I built it like:
make KERNEL_DIR=/usr/src/linux-2.4/ CFLAGS="-DREDHAT_KERNEL -O2"
P?draig.

You could also use zisofs.
