10. Misc

10.1 Author

The author and maintainer of the NetWinder Disk-Update-HOWTO is Ralph Siemsen (ralphs@netwinder.org). Please send me any comments, additions, corrections so that the can be included in the next release. The latest version of this document can be obtained from http://www.netwinder.org/~ralphs/howto/Disk-Update-HOWTO.html.

10.2 To-do

The `sgml2info' version of this document doesn't show the examples properly - for some reason the linefeeds are removed. Why is this and how do I fix it?

10.3 History

May 22, 1999 (version 1.0): First public release of this document.

May 27, 1999 (version 1.1): Completed missing sections, added links to Carelton project, put in more cross-references.

Jun 7, 1999 (version 1.4): Added NFS-rescue section (thanks Mike!)

Jun 21, 1999 (version 1.5): Fixed typo in section 6.2 NetWinder setup (thanks to Steve Cockwell), added clarification about "rescue" versus "ralphs" versions of the firmware.

Dec 12, 1999 (version 1.6): Fixed typo in section 7.2, the filesystem type in the example was incorrectly listed.

Apr 10, 2000 (version 1.7): Documented the -O sparse_super option for mke2fs, which is necessary on dm-3.1-15.

10.4 Contributors

Right now this is a product entirely of my own imagination.

Mike Montour (mmontour@iname.com) designed the NFS-rescue package.

Steve Cockwell (stevec@sierra.lazarus.ca) spotted a typo in the Rescue-firmware chapter.

Jason Jackson (jrjackso@warg.uwaterloo.ca) spotted a typo in section 6, it should read netconfig_eth0...

Sean MacLennan (seanm@netwinder.org) for spotting a typo in section 7.2, the /etc/fstab entry should show a filesystem of nfs and not ext2.

Robert Scwartz (roberts@corel.com) caught my silly typo of the sparse_super option for mke2fs.
