bootable Pharo image
Locked
 
|
Hi,
I tried to prepare a bootable Pharo ISO image based on Tiny Core Linux. Namely on MicroCore (kernel 3.0.3) that was extended with WiFi support. There is standard Pharo 1.3 image with OSProcess and CommandShell installed on the Smalltalk side. The resultant image has about 37 MB. Download: http://www.windmap.cz/playground/pharo/pharo.iso If you want to add it directly to your Grub menu, you may do it without need of extra partition. To the grub.conf add something like: title Pharo root (hd0,1) kernel /boot/pharo/vmlinuz vga=791 quiet initrd /boot/pharo/tinycore.gz where vmlinuz and tinycore.gz are the only files needed from the ISO image. Remastering: unpack: zcat tinycore.gz | sudo cpio -i -H newc -d pack: find | cpio -o -H newc | gzip -2 > ../tinycore.gz better compression: advdef -z4 tinycore.gz create ISO (you need unpacked original ISO image): /bin/cp -pfr tinycore.gz boot mkdir -p newiso /bin/cp -pfr boot newiso mkisofs -l -J -R -V TC-custom -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 \ -boot-info-table -b boot/isolinux/isolinux.bin \ -c boot/isolinux/boot.cat -o pharo.iso newiso Cheers, -- Pavel |

Cool stuff, simple, zipping fast to boot and get to Pharo.. An exciting playground to build up Pharo tools for everything to make Pharo the GUI for the tinycore with:
* Run this with VirtualBox.. build out everything that is needed and push it back as embedded to a device..!.. headless / or headful as reqd.
What will be the license on this..? Though components are open source.. Obliged if Pavel can comment..

License? There is no new code in it except few shell oneliners :-)
Let's say MIT License. btw. you can extend it with any tinyCore package. You can simply mount the package file to the loopback device under squashfs and copy it to the system root directory. mount -o loop -t squashfs pci-utils.tcz outputDirectory So you can easily build for example a small image with Chromium etc. Cheers, -- Pavel On Sun, Nov 6, 2011 at 2:31 PM, S Krish <[hidden email]> wrote: > Cool stuff, simple, zipping fast to boot and get to Pharo..

Agreed,
Just wanted to be sure.. but given that TinyCore is GPL.. it will be GPL for the OS part and MIT for the Pharo part.. but thx.. On Sun, Nov 6, 2011 at 9:04 PM, Pavel Krivanek <[hidden email]> wrote: License? There is no new code in it except few shell oneliners :-) |

WWWOOOOOOWWW The most amazing piece of Smalltalk related I saw in a long time. Just returning home from Smalltalks2011 , wish the next year you could come to Argentina and I could thanks in flesh and give you as many beers you like BRAVO Edgar |

Sometimes small things can fire really big change..
This is a tiny but powerful kernel that can launch a thousand ideas.. I was working on a Android base as an idea.. / concept.. for touch screen.. with Pharo on top.. but Pharo / Squeak has a lot to mature to handle multi-touch. Give me that.. if that happens this concept is what will make a huge change in the future computing world..

If you want to help cleaning the event we did some pre studies with igor and the idea is to be able to handle touch event with an pluggable event infrastructure.

In fact , with this Pavel think and some work we could have a Squeak/Pharo tablet touch screen Wild idea: Is still Darwin open and free ? What about a Darwin base with Pharo / Squeak on top Edgar |
