Hi Martin and all,
I had GREAT luck with 0.2 :)). Basically I used it until I was able to find another dist. that worked on my old laptop. I just followed the GREAT directions and had it building on my RH8.0 machine. 0.3 doesn't seem to come up from the floppy and I haven't gotten into the sources enough to figure out what is happening.
By using sisela 0.2 with a friends wireless AP, I was finally able to download iso files. That's how I got my first copy of DamnSmall Linux, which is what I am now using on it.
A real floppy Linux is MOST NICE so sisela is in my tool kit :))
I would love to have the Atmel wireless usb driver working with sisela. That and kismet would make a great war driving box.
regards, john

I was wondering how hard it would be to add packages to the build process of this distribution.
It's fairly straightforward in principle.
Get and build the source, then try to make your new package compile correctly with the uClibc tools and uClibc/kernel source from the Sisela build tree. When it seems to work, copy your binaries to the appropriate place in build/install, delete the old rootfs and rootfs.bz2, and run make in the Sisela tree again to build a new image.
It would also be nice if I could include the madwifi wireless drivers for my card, but they are curretly available only by cvs.
Build the modules against the Linux source in your Sisela tree, copy them to build/modules and re-run the build as above.
Same goes for anyone else wanting drivers added - I'm also willing to do special builds on request if people tell me what they want and it's feasible :-)
Martin
