[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 :driver:
how to apply patch ? :dontknow:

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

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