Most of the posts we get through are spam these days, which take a bit of effort to can each time. The original user demand hasn't really materialised into a regular community on the forum. The gobolinux-users list will usually be a better and more responsive venue for people, and I think the presence of the forum is an attractive nuisance more than anything. For those reasons, I'm proposing to close the forum down in a couple of weeks' time. There are good arguments and reasons for having forums, but I don't think it's something we can support at this point. If there's viable demand in the future we could set some up again, but right now directing people to the mailing lists and IRC seems more appropriate. If anyone objects strongly to this plan, they should make themselves known and we'll see what we can do, but otherwise I will shut down the forums soon. I've also posted this message on the forum itself, since this may not be </pre> Michael Homer 2012-04-02T04:59:24 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.distributions.gobo.general/11203 <pre>Although the recipe contains "unionfs patch" - there doesn't seem to be any such option available while configuring kernel. </pre> Zbigniew 2012-03-23T09:31:36 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.distributions.gobo.general/11202 <pre>Using the recipe for 3.2.12 I made a compilation of 3.3 - almost all went fine, with exception of gobohide: during boot-up there are several messages "ioctl: Operation not supported".

I'm not sure if there will be a new release soon, which is a pity." Last Autumn I thought a new updated live CD release was imminent (see references) but alas not. Perhaps 2012 will be the Year of GoboLinux 015!

The last reference to GoboLinux was in DistroWatch Weekly, Issue 316, 17 August 2009: "Finally, a quick update on GoboLinux, a distribution that is unlike anything else we've seen due to its radical break from the traditional UNIX file system hierarchy. Instead of directories such as /usr/bin/, applications are stored in individual subdirectories under /Programs/, with all direct libraries and dependencies included.

What changes in distribution are required? Of course, there'll be a need to dispose of udev, and create "static" device nodes. What else? Should I expect problems? Or maybe, from some reason, it's not possible to have stable system with 2.4? I want to copy the running system from other machine, then made the necessary changes on the destination disk (having it under control of a system ran from CD). Perhaps someone made something like this before? </pre> Zbigniew B. 2011-03-02T22:29:18 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.distributions.gobo.general/11134 <pre>Hi, I tryed create a Rootless environment under ArchLinux.
