[drhg]

hi Guys !!!
this for newbies developers & who wanna to make a maxvar images

to make a maxvar image you have to modify kernel ( exactly i mean dreambox.c file ) to
change proportions between cramfs & squashfs parts inside the image
you will find in the attachment the maxvar patch to do that for you
how to apply patch ?

put maxvar.diff after decopress in your cvs folder ( ex; tuxbox-cvs )
open terminal & launch the following commands:

cd tuxbox-cvs

patch -p0 < maxvar.diff

then

rm .linuxkernel

&

make .linuxkernel

now you have cdk with kernel customized for making a maxvar images

then launch the usual commands as follow:

cd cdk

rm .enigma

make .enigma

make rebuild-flash

Stop; here at this step & make the following steps:

go to this path \root\cdkflash\root in your cvs folder then;
remove any addons or games you don't need from \lib\tuxbox\plugins
& languages you don't need from \share\locale
& delete the unwanted skins from \share\tuxbox\enigma

Note: dont delete the default skin

finally launch

make flash-compress

congratulations , you have now a maxvar image

This limit should be removed from developers sections in order to encourage development

This is very frustrating, to be able to read but not get the files to try things out
