Hello,<br>
<br>
I've been writting a tool for my orgnaizations which is basically a<br>
launcher. </blockquote><div><br>Great, share if you can ;)<br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Now, I've seen your project ``rootz''. I've tried to install<br>
it without success :(, so then it is quite more difficult to understand<br>
how ``rootz'' works.</blockquote><div><br>Provide some information and we might help you to install it properly.<br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<br>
<br>
So let me ask you some questions:<br>
1) Can you from a rootz application browse the FS. (Desktop ...)</blockquote><div><br>Yes, because the /home dir is bind mounted<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<br>
2) How rootz complies to work in other distributions than debian. </blockquote><div><br>It can be integrated quite easily. As hosts, debian variants are supported, puppy is known to work, and I guess other distros should work also with minor modifications. rootz can connect the host system to many live distros such as fedora, sabayon, mint and more.<br>
<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">I've seen that rootz works by binding 2 FS<br>
- 1st is a bootsrap of a debian<br>
- 2nd is a squashfs of all the stack to make the application working.<br>
<br>
So this means that with the rootz you give to the application almost<br>
everything to work, except the libc ??</blockquote><div><br>I think you misunderstood the way rootz works. *Everything*, including the application itself is provided by rootz. In praticualr, the libc that is installed in the squashfs is used, rather than the one that is installed on the host itself.<br>
