Home / Linux / Midori Linux General Board Introducing M4Ivm Midori Distribution

Introducing M4Ivm Midori Distribution (modified 0 times) dweeb Profile Introducing M4Ivm distribution of Midori linux. M4Ivm is a modified midori distribution intended to run on any iopener or vmware and be easy to tailor. See http://www.hunkler.com/mark/iopener/midori/M4Ivm/M4Ivm.htm for more details and screenshots. 02-14-2002 15:11:59

RE:Introducing M4Ivm Midori Distribution (modified 0 times) dozens Profile | Email dweeb - I am having setting up my virtual envirnoment on vmware 3.1 and hoping you can help. BTW - I am new to vmware, just purchased it a few weeks ago. 1) I can't seem to create a primary slave drive (IDE 0:1) without having a primary master. Do you have two drives ? 2) How did you make a 16m drive, it looks like vmware's smallest drive is 100megs. feel free to email me dao@pobox.com 05-30-2002 10:21:07

RE:Introducing M4Ivm Midori Distribution (modified 0 times) dweeb Profile Dozens, I just released a newer M4Ivm flash image and build kit dated 01 June. In answer to your questions 1) I added vmware configuration screen shots to my web page that might help you. The first time you boot under vmware, you must have a bootable OS on IDE0, once the flash drive on IDE1 gets initialized, you no longer need a bootable drive on IDE0, just change the vmware configuration so that IDE0 is treated as a CD-ROM. 2) I did not have a problem making a 16Mb drive under vmware versions 2.x, 3.0, or 3.1 06-01-2002 23:34:43

RE:Introducing M4Ivm Midori Distribution (modified 0 times) dozens Profile | Email dweeb - Ok, I have gotten a little farther. I have dd the image to my flash simulation drive and a setup a new session (IOpener) with a cdrom at 0:0 and my flash simulation at 0:1. VMWare will not boot, it say it can not find a bootable drive. Was I suspose to put a MBR on the flash simulation drive ? 06-03-2002 10:38:41

RE:Introducing M4Ivm Midori Distribution (modified 0 times) dozens Profile | Email Nevermind :) I set the flash simulation drive active with fdisk under DOS and VMWare now lets me bootup. Unfortunetly the image doesn't boot :) I get the following prompt (between the lines below). --------------------- Bad boot: --------------------- I will try redownloading the image file. How do I check the md5 checksum ? 06-03-2002 11:11:24

Success ! (modified 0 times) dozens Profile | Email I found my mistake. I made a slight mistake with my dd command, I did "dd if=M4.img of=/dev/hdb1" instead of just "hdb" This is cool, now only if I had a IOpener :) I will take a peak at you build kit and see if I can adapt it to build a image for my WebPlayer or Netier. 06-03-2002 11:40:25

RE:Introducing M4Ivm Midori Distribution (modified 0 times) dozens Profile | Email dweeb - Do you have any notes you can share on how you added vmware sound, svga and pcnet32 drivers to you Midori build ? I would like to create a dual boot image for my netier. 06-12-2002 11:36:24

RE:Introducing M4Ivm Midori Distribution (modified 0 times) Ultanium Profile If only there was a ready to install Midori or Jailbait for a PC... This 16mb sandisk stuff is too much for my brain to sort out, and I have already whacked one disk up. Ult 12-10-2002 19:55:45

RE:Introducing M4Ivm Midori Distribution (modified 0 times) shadowsunrise Profile Why would you want to run Midori on a PC? Not really intended for that purpose... but I can see how it'd be nice to have a VM of it... What would be nice would be if somebody who's successfully gotten a Midori VM running posted their session and virtual hard drive files somewhere, then you should be able to just download and run... i think.... haven't messed with VMWare for a bit. 01-22-2003 09:58:48

RE:Introducing M4Ivm Midori Distribution (modified 0 times) Ultanium Profile Because all of the older hardware (286, 386) could actually have a functional linux os instead of dos & winblows 3.1. Imagine for moment Midori or Jailbait with QVWM, a rock solid OS with a small footprint for older hardware, yet has the simple '95 feel for those who have never used 'nix. Get rid of QVWM's animated icons and it is a dead ringer for '95. Devs, don't limit your distros user base by making it only for a bunch of discontinued IA's, make it for everyone!

RE:Introducing M4Ivm Midori Distribution (modified 0 times) yorch Profile precicely, I have two Toshiba 610CT laptops that where given to me from work, these are old laptops, but they are tiny and cute, I was going to give them to my girls, so they can play, they have windows 95 running, I was thinking of setting them up with Linux, so they have more functionality, and they are restrained. The systems are Pentiums 90Mhz with 24MB RAM, and 720MB Hard drives, I tried to upgrade to Windows 98, but it seems impossible because of the space left (240MB). and I have other hard drives with more space but apparently only accepts toshiba brands, I'm having a hard time upgrading these, Ideally would be to upgrade them to W98SE using 98lite for them to use the Wireless lan in the house, (I don't know if the processor would be up to par) but I'm willing to try. I wanted them to have Internet access, email, Office apps, and if is possible MP3 playing. 12-29-2003 12:42:46

RE:Introducing M4Ivm Midori Distribution (modified 0 times) radarman Profile Does anyone know if the mouse cursor problem (cursor "click" wanders from pointer) was fixed? I have a blue clipper IA-1 I would love to run a light Midori image on, especially if it supported the onboard ethernet port - but I found the mouse problem a bit too irritating. Also, is there a way to NOT run a local wm, but essentially turn the Midori image into an X terminal (essentially, run X -query <host> on boot up? Thanks, -radarman 01-29-2004 13:30:05

RE:Introducing M4Ivm Midori Distribution (modified 0 times) srenka Profile Yorch, I can't help you with Midori (still working on making my IA-1 boot to -anything-) but I can tell you Debian is delightful on old Toshibas like that. I've had several very old Toshiba laptops, dual booting Debian Woody (3.0 stable) and generally 98. The hardware is mostly supported with little problem, and Fluxbox makes a good window manager with minimal requirements; I did wish for a very small footprint-yet-modern graphical web browser, though. Netscape 3.x isn't so happy these days. 06-09-2004 12:12:22
