Hello, I am just getting started with Sisela, and am a mite confused about how to save commands to be run on system startup. Sisela tells me that if I save a file in the /floppy directory called boot.<something> (I can't remember quite what the filename is, and I don't have the machine I am testing out Sisela on here at work), then Sisela will run those commands upon startup. I tried doing this, but after re-boot, the file was gone! Of course this seemed obvious to me when I remembered that the root filesystem is a bz2 image, I just thought that perhaps sisela would save the boot command file back to the compressed image file on shutdown. Is there a way to force sisela to do this? Or do I need to build sisela from the sources or just create my own filesystem image to load on the boot floppy? Any help I can get here would be most appreciated. I think Sisela is ultimately cool and am really looking forward to using it! Thanks! Chris /** * Christopher T.

Hi Did you run "sync" to actually write the file to the floppy? IIRC you can put BusyBox shell commands into boot.sh on the floppy and it will then execute them on boot. It's been a while since I've run Sisela but if you need better help I could fire it up and have a look. This list is probably your best shot for support. Cheers Chris On 15/05/06, Christopher T.
