Debian squeeze rootfs available
Martin Guy
I've made a Debian squeeze base root filesystem for Sim.One. It
works fine with the same kernel (thank heaven!)
Those of you wanting to upgrade an existing installation ca do so with
vi /etc/apt/sources.list
:%s/lenny/squeeze/g
ZZ
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
The only bogey I hit was that, if you have certain packages
uninstalled but not purged (ie their config files are still around),
the faster bootup and shutdown init scripts don't kick in.
You can prevent this by purging all uninstalled-but-not-purged packages first:
# apt-get purge $(dpkg-query -l | grep '^rc' | awk '{print $2}')
Write if either option gives problems

Hi again
There is now a repository of crunch-accelerated Debian packages at
http://simplemachines.it/debian/armel-squeeze+crunch with the same
packages I did for lenny, updated to the versions in "squeeze" plus a
few more identified as being floating-point intensive. I'm open to
suggestions of other packages that use a lot of floating point and
would be useful in the Sim.One.
If you're using the squeeze debian rootfs, "apt-get update; apt-get
upgrade" should get you the accelerated versions.
Cheers
M
