+ <li> <b>9 January 2003, uClibc development system released</b>
+ <br>
+
+ CodePoet Consulting (i.e. Erik) has been working hard on <a
+ href="/cgi-bin/cvsweb/buildroot/">buildroot</a> recently, and is pleased to
+ offer a full stand-alone uClibc-only development system. This is an ext2
+ filesystem for i386 containing all the development software you need to
+ build your own uClibc applications. With bash, awk, make, gcc, g++,
+ autoconf, automake, ncurses, zlib, openssl, openssh, gdb, strace, valgrind,
+ busybox, GNU coreutils, and more, this should have pretty much everything
+ you need to get started building your own applications linked against
+ uClibc. By using a uClibc only system, you can avoid all the painful
+ cross-configuration problems that have made using uClibc somewhat painful
+ in the past. A powerpc and an arm version are in progress. Expect them
+ to be released shortly....
+
+ <p>
+
+ The <a href="ftp://ftp.uclibc.org/uClibc/root_fs_0.9.17.pre-i386.bz2/">
+ uClibc development system is an 18MB bzip2 compressed ext2 filesystem</a>,
+ so be prepared to wait if you are on a slow link. If you wish to have more
+ space, you can loop mount it and 'cp -a' the contents to their own
+ partition, or do what I did... <EM>WARNING, the following can be very
+ dangerous. Please be sure you know what you are doing before trying this.
+ I am not responsible if you lose all your important data.</EM>I had a spare
+ hard drive (in my case /dev/hdg but you'll want to adapt this to your own
+ needs), so I partitioned it with a single ext2 partition filling the drive
+ (in my case /dev/hdg1). Then I ran:<PRE>
+ bzcat root_fs_0.9.17.pre-i386.bz2 | dd of=/dev/hdg1
+ e2fsck -f /dev/hdg1
+ resize2fs -p /dev/hdg1</PRE>
+
+ which overwrote everything on /dev/hdg with the new uClibc devel system,
+ and then expanded the filesystem with the uClibc devel system till it
+ filled the whole drive.
+ <p>
