I have put together the first build of my project, it's only 2.9MB and takes 6-8 seconds to boot from my harddrive.

The only thing implemented so far are some basic tools and support for 802.1Q VLANs to seperate LANs and broadcast domains.

(No gfxcard support, I use the PCI-slot for extra NIC)

Download it here and boot hdx:y adapt



I have several other builds ready with iptables, webserver, ssh and so on. They are a bit larger and I'm planning to release them
later this week, just wanted to point out that things are moving..

Have fun :)

That is great Martin. Nice work! :)

Happy 2007!

Apart from the well-known serial
problem Adapt works great. :P

Booted just fine from my USB-stick.

*UPDATE*

2006-12-31 - Adapt-0.0.1 (2.8M) - Happy 2007, 802.1Q support

2007-01-03 - Adapt-0.0.2 (4.0M) - Iptables added. The system now mounts read-write so it's quite usable.
The kernel supports all major filesystems so you can format, mount and chroot. There's a lot of tools on there,
put it on your HDD or USB-stick to find out. :)

# boot adapt-x.y.z (no need for any extra kernel arguments)

Martin,

Please update your Project Blog!

http://projects.powerdeveloper.org/proj ... roject=243

In the coming weeks the entire Projects site will become like a Blog Planet; projects and developers by category will be very visible rather than the Big List we have right now (now we have more active projects than proposed, it makes sense to change the focus of the site).

You noted on your blog you needed a 4-port ethernet card. Might I suggest one of these;

Gigabit or 10/100, take your pick on the features you want. It is a little costly but it is brand new, properly bridged, and should be fairly high performance (it's even possible we will support Via Rhine II/III (we already have a driver for Pegasos) and Realtek ethernet (I am fairly sure the RTL8129 10/100 DOES work..) from firmware too as they are popular, cheap cards and we have a lot of router/networking projects that would find it useful)

Great progress :D
