Building a nice image - a few questions

New MessageBuilding a nice image - a few questions (modified 0 times) adam714

after many attempts to customize channels i finally got it down thanks to dilligaf's linkchannel & preparechannels scripts. However, i have noticed that when web pages launch from the filmstrip the browser is full screen only and won't toggle and the fonts are bigger.

1. How can i set the default fonts to be smaller and be able to utilize the browser controls when launching from filmstrip.

2. What files are safe to delete to make room for phplay and can kojak-phplay be removed or used instead.

3. My windows mount will not mount from boot.sh. it worked for a while but stopped and now will only mount if i run it manually from pterm. is it a root acces issue?

4. Still unable to get vi to work from telnet.

I have a quick suggestion for #3:

"3. My windows mount will not mount from boot.sh. it worked for a while but stopped and now will only mount if i run it manually from pterm. is it a root acces issue?"

Are you explicitly bringing up your ethernet interface before trying the mount? Here's an example from my boot.sh:

if_up -r 20 en0

This retries 20 times, once per second; a different interval (in seconds) may be given with the "-s" option (see if_up docs). I do this immediately before issuing my remote mounts (I'm using fs-nfs2, but the issue applies equally to fs-cifs, of course).

Hope this helps,

Thanks for the tip. sounds logical. unfortunately it do not work. Here is my boot.sh:

#
# boot.sh
# this shell script contains commends that need to be executed at boot time
# (comment out the call in "go" if it annoys you during testing)

if_up -r20 en0 &

# Mount
/nto/bin/fs-cifs -a //David:192.168.1.101:/Audrey /David guest guest &

# Start inetd to allow FTP an Telnet
ln -sPf /nto/lib/libc.so.1 /usr/lib/ldqnx.so.1 &
ln -sPf /nto/lib/libc.so.2 /usr/lib/ldqnx.so.2 &

/bin/inetd &

#1 - You can't get the browser controls from the channels. I have seen people set up their own .html having two frames. The top frame having buttons for 'back' and 'reload' and the bottom frame having the page they want loaded.

#2 - Search these forums for 'slim down audrey' (I think that is the thread title). Lotta info in it.

#3 - 'if_up -r20 en0 &' - The & tells it to run in the background. So, it will not wait till it finishes before trying to do the mount. Change it to 'if_up -r20 en0'.

Lemme know how it goes,
dill

Try using '60' instead of '20' as your timeout in if_up. Mine didn't work at 20 either, but it works fine with 60.

As for #2:
If you can make your windows machine mount at boot time, then you can place phplay and stuff on the windows mount. You will need to edit PATH and LIBPATH (or LD_LIBRARY_PATH or something to point to the mounted directories so the files can be found. I've found that altering stuff like PATH works best if you make the changes in the 'go' script. Making the changes in boot.sh doesn't work.
