New cloop?

Hi,
I will answer to myself.
The old procedure didn't work because instead an ext2 filesystem (then 
compressed with cloop utility) now lnx-bbc works with a romfs that is clever!
In order to make a romfs you have to download genromfs.
The clooputils (to create and uncompress the compressed fs)  is only 17K, 
genromfs is 14K.

The procedure is the same (see my precedent post with the same subject) except 
that instead to mke2fs in the empty file you have to:
genromfs -d (here the dir of the source, e.g. /mnt/bbc-21-orig) -f  (the empty 
file, e.g.  /home/max/mybbc)
The source dir can be a dir were you copied the bbc filesystem and added your 
binary (remember ldd /bin/yourbinary to check if the lib are ok).
The new filesystem (mybbc in the example) must be umounted.
The create the compressed fs with the cloop utlity.


I tried it in my system and it works.

Hoping that can help someone else.


Enjoy your lnx-bbc
