|
>One of the drawbacks in the prototype phase of the project was that
|
|
the diskset was not all that useful. The only commands that worked were
|
|
the ones built into the BASH shell. We could improve our root disk by
|
|
installing commands like <B
|
|
CLASS="command"
|
|
>cat</B
|
|
>, <B
|
|
CLASS="command"
|
|
>ls</B
|
|
>,
|
|
<B
|
|
CLASS="command"
|
|
>mv</B
|
|
>, <B
|
|
CLASS="command"
|
|
>rm</B
|
|
> and so on. Unfortunately, we
|
|
are short on space. The current root disk has no shared libraries so each
|
|
utility would have to be statically-linked just like the BASH shell. A lot
|
|
of big binaries together with a static shell will rapidly exceed the tiny
|
|
1.44M of available disk space. So our main goal in this phase should be to
|
|
maximize space savings on the root disk and pave the way for expanded
|
|
functionality in the next phase.</P
