Earth : Africa : North Africa : Morocco : High Atlas : Marrakech
Marrakech (مراكش) (also known as Marrakesh) is a city in Morocco.
The name Marrakech originates from the Amazigh (Berber) words mur (n) akush, which means "Land of God". It is the third largest city in Morocco after Casablanca and Rabat and lies near the foothills of the snow capped Atlas Mountains.
The city is divided into two distinct parts: the Medina, the historical city, and the new European modern district called Gueliz or Ville Nouvelle. The Medina is full of intertwining narrow passageways and local shops full of character. In contrast, Gueliz, plays host to modern restaurants, fast food chains and big brand stores.
Get in
By plane
Marrakech-Menara Airport (IATA: RAK), Tel: +212 44 44.79.10, +212 44 .44.78.65, +212 44. 44.85.06 [17]. Marrakech has an international airport with direct scheduled flights coming in from London and Paris and many charter flights arriving from all over Europe. If you are flying from the US, Canada, Asia or elsewhere, you'll have to change planes in Casablanca.
Plenty of low cost companies now fly to Marrakech. Some companies fly to Casablanca additionally where a plane change for the 45 minute flight to Marrakech can be made.
From the UK, Easyjet [18] flies to Marrakech from Gatwick airport (and also from Madrid). Ryanair has direct flights from London Luton and Bristol to Marrakech. They also fly from from Frankfurt-Hahn (Germany)and Girona (Barcelona) to Marrakech. Thomsonfly travels from Manchester and Gatwick . British Airways [19] and TUIfly no longer fly to Marrakech.
If going from airport by petit taxi, make sure to have the driver use his meter or, better yet, agree on the price beforehand. As you exit the airport terminal, there is a sign which actually gives you an idea of how much the taxi ride should cost. However whether you can convince or bargain with the driver to use these prices is another matter as it depends on the number of taxis and potential passengers around. Essentially, you should pay no more than DH 60 from the airport to the center of the city during the day and DH 90 at night for a petit taxi. The petit taxi's are hatchbacks and generally they take a lower price than the larger grand taxi's. As a guide for using taxi services in Morocco, you should approach the taxi, tell the driver where you want to go, and how much you will pay. If the driver doesn't accept, just move on to the next driver.
If you are travelling from the airport to somewhere further afield (e.g. Essaouria), your hotel or guest house may be able to arrange a grand taxi to pick you up at the airport and charge a fixed price for the journey. Grands taxis are generally more expensive than petits taxis, but more comfortable especially when you have luggage. It also avoids hassle, as it's not always easy to haggle with a taxi driver after staggering off a long plane ride half-asleep.
Several international rental car companies are based at the airport as well.
Money exchange in the airport
The Arrivals hall at Terminal 2 has a money changing outlet and an ATM. Terminal 1 has two money changing outlets in the Arrivals hall and one in Departures. If you find the money changing outlet closed when you arrive, it's worth taking the short walk across the car park to the other terminal. On ATMs, check for the Maestro, Cirrus or Plus logos to be sure that the machine accepts foreign credit cards. Beware as some of the ATMs work only in French and may ask unusual questions (such as your "account type"). If your card is taken at the ATM, tell airport security and they can help you get it back.
By train
The train station is in the recently developed Guéliz district at Avenue Hassan II, Tel: +212 44 77 68 [22]. Trains run between Marrakech, Fes, Casablanca (including the International Airport), Rabat, Oujda, and Meknes. If you want to head to the desert, Atlas Mountains, Agadir or Essaouira on the coast, you'll have to get a bus, rental car or grand taxi to your destination. For train times and schedules you can find information on the Moroccan Railway website [23]
Train connections are available from the train station and trains from Casablanca and Rabat and Tangier connect with most domestic rail destinations in the country. Trains run regularly between Marrakech and Casablanca. They arrive around every two hours and regularly from other destinations like Rabat. Every day there are 16 direct trains to Fez via Casablanca Voyageurs station and another two direct connections to Tangier.
For those wishing to travel by train from Tangier it's about a 10 hour journey. You can travel either by day train or night train. During the daytime, you will need to change trains for a connection halfway through the journey creating a welcome break for about 30 minutes. The night trains which leaves for Marrakech from Tangier travels straight through to Marrakech without the need for a connection. The night trains do have sleeper cars on board, though you will need to pay extra for these if you want a bed (around DH 350).
There is currently no train line further south than Marrakech in Morocco.
Some advice for the train journey would be to stock up on some bread, eggs, and cheese in advance and remember to bring plenty to offer to share with locals in your carriage - this is received well and will result in a return offer and lots of conversation.
Additionally, there is a snack trolley which does the rounds on the train about once per hour serving coffee, cappucino, tea, sandwiches, and chocolate snacks. Be aware you will pay tourist prices, though in the end the difference is not much.
By bus
There are many long distance bus companies operating within Morocco which serve Marrakech and other cities.
The recommended bus companies for tourists are CTM and Supratours. Other companies do exist, though these two companies are usually your safest options.
Most ALSA (local destination bus company) and private bus lines arrive at the long distance bus station near Bab Doukkala, a 20 minute walk (DH 15 - 20 by petit taxi) from Jema el-Fna. Supratours and Eurolines buses operate from here. It's the place to take the buses from the small companies, that go directly to small destinations.
The long distance bus station, CTM and private bus companies travel to destinations such as Agadir, Safi, Casablanca, El Jadida, Essaouira, Fez, Meknes, Ouarzazate, Rabat, and Taroudant. Taxi touts will often gather in the bus station to convince you that a bus to your destination is 'full' and to steer you into a grand taxi, and will attempt to sell you goods as your taxi is prepared. This can be difficult if there is nobody manning the ticket desks, and the best option is to walk out of the station to the coaches - a ticket can usually be purchased from a conductor on board.
CTM operates a brand new bus station "Gare Voyageurs" one block south from the Supratour station next to the train station. It's better to take the buses there, because you can buy the tickets in advance. Besides, the CTM's offices there are better and there's no people trying to push you to their bus company. The office and station on Zerktouni street does not exist anymore.
By taxi
The best option if you want to save time or if you want to go in private. The best way is the big bus. You will find them throughout the city and the airport, they make you discover the city. The taxis are very good and regular, be careful walking through the main square though, its full of them drving about, beeping you out of the way.
Get around
Once in the medina, everything can be seen on foot, though you'll be doing a lot of walking. For exploring more of the city, buses and petits taxis are plentiful. Almost all buses stop at Djemaa El-Fna and Place Youssef Ben Tachfine and fares range from DH 2 - 5 depending on the distance. Important municipal bus lines are:
An alternative and romantic way to travel is by caleche - pronounced kalesh - a small horse-drawn carriage. They can be hired at Square de Foucauld (the small park at the bottom of Djemaa El-Fna). It's wise to agree on a price before setting off. As a guide price, you should pay around DH 80 per hour, per carriage.
There is an open-topped City Sightseeing bus that will take you around the outskirts of the city, with commentary provided via headphones (supplied with your ticket) in any of 8 different languages. The best place to catch it is from the coach stops by Square de Foucauld. Tickets cost DH 130 each and are valid for 24 hours from the time of issue, no matter how many times you get on or off. However, check the timetable carefully, as the buses can stop running earlier than you might think.
The No 19 Airport express bus is 20Dh for a single trip or 30Dh for round trip (if the return trip is within 2 weeks of initial purchase). It services all the major hotels and is a great way to go from the Airport to the hotels. You can easily find it's departure stop to the left of the road immediately outside Marrakech Airport's Arrivals Hall, after the taxis.
There is much to see and do in Marrakech. An entire day can be dedicated to wandering around all the different souks, seeking out the best bargains. The city also offers several historical and architectural sites as well as some interesting museums.
Marrakech can make a good base for exploring the High Atlas or for organizing one to four day Sahara treks.
There are two types of Hammam across Morocco.
The first is the tourist hammam, where you can go and be pampered and scrubbed by an experienced staff member. As these are promoted only to tourists they are the more expensive option with pricing usually around DH 150 for a hammam. They can not be technically referred to as a proper hammam, but they are nonetheless enjoyable, especially for the timid. Your hotel can recommend a good one.
The second option is to visit a "popular" Hammam. Popular hammams are the places where the locals go. Ask the staff at your hotel where they would go.
At the popular hammams, you do it all yourself. To make the most of a popular hammam, you need to take a scrubbing mitten (available cheap in the Souks), a towel, and some extra underwear (otherwise, you will be going home without any, as it will be sopping wet). Popular hammams are often only identified by tiles around a door and entrance way. If you do not speak French or Arabic, it could be a daunting, or at least a very memorable, experience. Men & women have either separate session times or separate hammams.
Nudity in a popular hammam is strictly forbidden for men, so be prepared to wear your underwear or a bathing suit. For women, you'll see some wearing underwear and some going naked.
Whilst in a popular hammam, you may be offered help and a massage from another person. It is essential to remember that this massage is nothing but a massage, with no other intentions. Sexual contact or presumption of sexual contact does not occur in these places. If you accept a massage, be prepared to return the favor.
Normal entrance prices for a popular hammam are DH 7-15, a scrub will cost around DH 30, and a massage another DH 30.
The old, historic district of the city.
The main square in the Medina is Djemaa El-Fna. It is surrounded by endless labyrinths of souks (bazaars) and alley ways covering all of the Medina. Djemma El-Fna is a must as there is always something to see there day and night whether it be snake charmers, acrobats, sooth-sayers,or the musicians and food stalls. At night the square really comes to life as people navigate toward the exotic aromas and the entertaining sights. As the evening darkens, the hustle bustle of activity rages on. The exotic music appears louder and more hypnotic.
The Medina is also the place to stay in a Riad, a Moroccan house with an internal courtyard. Most windows are inward facing towards the central atrium. This design of property suits Islamic tradition as there is no obvious wealth statement being made externally, no windows to peer through. Entering a Riad is like discovering an Aladdin's Cave in comparison to it's non-descript exterior. They are great places to stay and offer an intimate and relaxing retreat.
Directly south of the Djemaa El-Fna is Rue Bab Agnaou. A five-minute walk takes you straight to the famous Bab Agnaou entrance to the Kasbah district of the Medina. The Bab Agnaou entrance, through the ramparts, is by far the most impressive entrance of all medina rampart entrances.
The Kasbha, in comparison to Djemaa El-Fna portrays a calmer, less abrasive atmosphere. It is home to the Royal Palace, also the former El - Badi Palace and the Saadian Tombs. This naturally creates better security, cleaner streets and a hint of being a special place within the medina. The Kasbah has it's own little bazaars (Souikas), food stalls, restaurants, hotels and riads for travellers to enjoy.
Along with the major souk adjacent to the Djemaa El-Fna, there are a plethora of smaller souks throughout the city where any number of products can be bargained for. Keep an eye out for a wide array of hand-crafted candle-holding lanterns, as well as spectacular displays of local spices.
Marrakech is home to a large tanning industry, and leather goods of high quality can be bought here cheaply. Check out camel leather items especially - jackets, round poufs, and handbags.
Also of interest would be items made of the local cactus silk, which is really rayon, a natural fiber made of plant cellulose and produced in Morocco. Rayon holds the chemical dyes well which accounts for the vibrant range of true colors (natural dyes cannot produce a "true" color). On offer are scarves, handbags, tablecloths, bedspreads and throws in stunning colors. Some merchants try to charge a premium price for this "cactus silk".
Be sure to wander round the potters' souk, and look for brightly colored platters and bowls, as well as tagines in all sizes
Lovely cashmere shawls can also be had for less than a fiver with a little bargaining.
If you cannot stand the bargaining, there's two government run shops where you can buy handicrafts at fixed prices. Look for boutique d'artisans. One is near Djemaa El-Fna while the other one is in the ville nouvelle.
An option to explore the souks in a more tranquil way is to go during the Friday prayer. Although some shops will be closed, most stay open and are significantly less crowded than at other times.
Remember that bargaining in the souks is expected. It is not really possible to give an accurate indication of how much to start the bargaining at in relation to the initial asking price, but a general idea would be to aim for approximately 50% off. Prices are set on a daily, even, hourly basis, depending on how much has been sold on a given day (or period of hours), while also reflecting the vendor's personal estimation of the potential client. The souks are often a good reflection of the basic economic principles of supply and demand, particularly with regard to the demand side. If a lot of products have been sold by a particular merchant he/she will raise the price, and may refuse to sell any more products for the rest of that day (or for days) unless the price is much higher than usual. If there are many tourists around prices go higher and bargaining even small amounts off the asking price becomes quite difficult. In addition, the seller will generally inspect the client, whose dress and possessions (particularly if the potential client sports an expensive Swiss watch, camera, etc) are usually the main indication of how high the price may be set above the usual. However, the potential client's attitude is also taken into consideration.
Taking all this and other factors into account (such as the time of day, day of the week, season, etc.), initial prices may be up to 50 times or more in excess of normal prices, especially for more expensive items, such as carpets. Carpets, however, are a very specialized item and it is necessary to have at least a cursory understanding of production techniques and qualities. If possible, an ability to distinguish between hand-made and machine-made carpets, hand-dyes, and the like is helpful to avoid being utterly duped.
Bargaining is an enjoyable experience for most vendors and they prefer clients that don't appear hurried and are willing to take the time to negotiate. It is most often actually necessary to give reasons why you believe the price should be lower. The reasons you might give are limited only by your imagination and often lead to some very entertaining discussions. Common reasons may include: the price of the item elsewhere, the item not being exactly what you are after, the fact that you have purchased other items from the stall/store, that you have built a rapport with the vendor after discussing football and so forth. On the other hand, if there is little movement in the price after some time, the best advice is to begin leaving, this often has the result of kick-starting the bidding anew, and if not, it is likely that the merchant is actually unwilling to go further below a given price, however absurd.
It is also important to show a genuine interest for the workmanship of the product for sale, no matter how disinterested you may actually be in what you are buying. This does not, however, mean that you should appear over-enthusiastic, as this will encourage the vendor to hold his or her price. Rather, it is important to project a critical appreciation for each article/object. Any defects are either unacceptable or a further opportunity to bargain the price down.
You should take caution to never begin bidding for unwanted items or to give the vendor a price you are unwilling or unable (with cash on hand) to pay. Try to avoid paying by credit card at all costs. In the event you do pay by credit card, never let it out of your sight and demand as many receipts as possible. There is typically a credit card carbon copy and an official shop receipt.
Never tell a vendor where you are staying and 'never tell a vendor how much you paid for any other purchases. Just say you got a good price and you want a good price from him or her too. And, above all, never be afraid to say 'No'.
It must also be said that, as is true for buyers, not all sellers are actually very good at what they do. A vendor that is completely disinterested or even aggressive is unlikely to give a good price. Move on.
The main Carlie at Djemaa El-Fna is definitely worth a visit and the food is priced on menus. In little back streets the ambiance is more quiet, although the price is higher and the quality may vary a lot. Touts for Djemaa huts can be among the most persistent in Marrakech. Don't make them any promises you don't intend on keeping or they'll get mean and call you a liar. The line 'we already ate' seems to work well to get them to stop.
In the square itself there are some locals such as:
Take care eating the offered food on the main market place Djemaa El-Fna and the other cheap restaurants. Many of the dishes, including goat heads and bowls of local snails (hot and tasty) may seem too adventurous for the Western palate, but the main problems are salads, which can cause diarrhea.
Vegetarians will find that there are few options outside the ubiquitous Tagine avec Legumes.
For more upscale eateries (and especially for non-Moroccan cuisine) you generally must go outside the Medina to Ville Nouvelle. However, Diaffa (Rue Jbel El Akhdar just off Av. Mohammed V, across from Club Med), is an upscale restaurant in one of the oldest buildings in the Medina, and offers excellent Moroccan cuisine in an ambiance that recalls the Orient at the height of its magic and glory. The food, building (whether the tables around the central courtyard and fountain or the second-level balcony), and tactful and tasteful entertainment are all not to be missed.
How to eat (well) in the Djemaa El-Fna
If you want to eat well in Marrakech, do what the locals do and eat at the food stalls in the square. It is a common misconception that these stalls are here for the tourists. Actually, they have been in existence long before Marrakech became a tourist destination. All of the stalls can be regarded as perfectly safe to eat at. They are strictly licensed and controlled by the government, especially now as it is a popular destination for tourists.
Some tips:
Street vendors offer fresh orange juice (jus d'Orange) by the glass for DH 3. Try it with a dash of salt like the locals, but be wary of vendors who try and water the juice down with tap water. Also, pay attention when you buy as they offer 2 types of orange...the blood orange juice costs DH 10 per glass and a misunderstanding on what you want to drink could occur.
There is a very limited selection of places selling alcohol in the medina.
Cafe Arabe, make great fresh fruit coktails and have a bar serving alcohol with a good list of wines (italian and moroccan).
Hotel Tazi, has a public bar, serving beer and wine and is not overly expensive.
For a slightly unusual experience, you could visit the Chesterfield Pub in Hotel Nassil, 115 Avenue Mohammed V. Apparently an 'English pub' it serves Moroccan lager and has an outside pool in a courtyard with palm trees (not an entirely English experience!) Much less touristy than it sounds (with a mainly local clientele) it serves a decent pint.
There are three main zones to sleep: Medina, Guéliz (also known as Ville Nouvelle), and the surroundings of the city. The Medina has the highest concentration of very cheap hotels and riads (small palaces).
Guéliz is much more quiet and most of the hotels are mid price (including showers in the room, breakfast service).
Going to the medina from the Guéliz by taxi costs about DH 10-15 and can take a long time at busy periods (evenings and weekends).
The surroundings have all the huge tourist hotels, the ones that usually come with what the travel agencies offer. They can be farther away from the medina and the rest of the city, but have big swimming pools, restaurants, and many services.
The Medina is packed with Riads (old grand houses converted into hotels and inns). These are wonderful places to stay to get a feel for life in Marrakech.
Discount hotels
The budget conscious will have more luck in the streets and alleyways south of Djemaa El-Fna, which are packed with discount hotels offering singles from DH 50. Derb Sidi Bouloukat is a good place to look. Its entrance is easy to find, just a few steps away from Djemaa El-Fna. Take Riad Zatoune (unmarked) which starts right of the Moroccan Red Crescent (with your back towards the Koutoubia) and it's the first alley on the right (marked in Arabic only). On your way in Riad Zitoune you will also come across the public hammam (10 DH, left entrance for women, right entrance for men, the soap, glove and small bucket can be bought at many shops across the street) and an small restaurant serving bissara and mint tea for less than 5 DH.
Popular options with backpackers include:
Guéliz (also known as Ville Nouvelle)
Stay safe
Emergency phone numbers in Morocco are:
Drinking Water
The tap water in Marrakech is perfect for brushing your teeth and bathing. While locals drink it with no problems, visitors often find it hard to digest. To be safe, opt for bottled mineral water, available at the numerous marketplace kiosks and food stalls. Make sure that the cap seal has not been broken, since Moroccan vendors have been known to save money by refilling plastic bottles from the faucet. At restaurants, ask for your drinks without ice cubes, which are usually made with tap water.
If you are obviously lost in the Medina, then it is common for people to offer to help with directions or even lead you to what you are looking for. Although not apparent at first, these people expect to be paid and will often lead you round in circles to increase the amount. Also, people may say that the place you are looking for is closed, but they will take you somewhere else that's better. This is almost always a lie. The best people to ask for directions are people behind a counter, as they cannot lead you because they don't want to leave their stall. If you are seriously lost, getting someone to lead you back is an option, but you should not give them more than DH 10-20, no matter how much they complain.
There are often people in Djemaa El Fna offering henna tattoos, which are popular with locals and tourists alike. But among the many genuine traders are one or two scam artists. They appear very charming and trustworthy while you choose a design, but will then cleverly divert your attention. Before you know it, you have the beginnings of a rather poor henna tattoo. Even if you do not want a design, be sure to keep your hands away from them as they will grab your hand and begin a design anyway. The scam artist later demands massive payments, in whatever currency you have (dirhams or not). After emptying your pockets, if they consider you can afford more, they will demand that you visit a nearby ATM. Always agree on a firm price before work starts. If you can't do this, insist that the operator stops immediately - then go to another (hopefully more reliable) operator to get your design completed. If they say it is free before they start or while they are doing it, they will always ask for a price later on. If this happens to you, you can walk away without paying; however, they will harass you for a little before giving up and moving on to another tourist.
Most Moroccans are tourist-friendly and are not aggressive, so sometimes making a fuss in public can generate unwanted attention for a scam artist and shame them into backing off.
However, be especially careful about being drugged, especially as a solo traveller. The common and easy-to-make drug GHB only lasts three hours and is undetectable in the body after seven hours, so if you are attacked, take action immediately. Do not trust room service if you are a solo traveller, as even older women are targets for robbery.
By registering in person or online, citizens can make it easier for their country's embassy to contact them in case of emergency. Be sure to report any crime to both the local police and your embassy.
Most other foreign embassies and consulates in Morocco are in Rabat, with a few more in Casablanca.
Get out
In addition to all that the city itself offers, Marrakech can also be used as a base station for various day trips.

Good afternoon, and thank you, Moses, for inviting me. I'm quite honored.
I was listening to Steven talk about death. I just wanted to share with you, before I get on to the gist of what I am saying, that I've just escaped and seen death very close. I'm a cancer survivor now. Just last week, I was informed that I have beaten cancer. Now I'm in rehab.
In the four months that I lay in bed at St. Mike's and other hospitals and got radiated and received horrendous chemotherapy, one tends to look at the ceiling, and I'm some sort of an expert now how they look like or what patches don't agree with me or not; but one does get a television set nowadays and the internet that keeps you abreast with what is happening around the world. In those four/five months, I saw the troubles in Egypt. I saw Osama bin Laden being killed. I saw the Pakistani government double-crossing Canada and the United States, and both countries not having the guts to stand up and say, You double-crossed us. I saw the Japanese typhoons. I saw the earthquakes. But above all, I realized that as a Muslim, fate has put me in a place where I have no escape, because I'm an Indian born in Pakistan, a Muslim born in the Punjabi culture. I'm a Marxist who has seen my own fellow-travelers betray the cause of social justice and aligned themselves with the most horrendous fascists that you could ever meet.
But I want you to leave today with the thought that 65 or 70 years ago when men, like Moses Znaimer, were mere infants, and I was about to be born, we defeated the most powerful army of the world. And to get in context to what happened during the second world war--just in the Soviet Union, 30 million people died. The catastrophic price that human civilization paid to defeat the Nazis has been forgotten by your generation because it was your parents and your grandparents who fought for the freedom that you inherited and now seems to be withering away.
Just in the Battle of Kharkov, that's in Ukraine or slightly west of Russia, 24 thousand tanks and artillery pieces were involved in a battle in which the Red Army broke the back of the Nazis. In 1944, Canadians landed, not to save their own country, but to fight for a cause of freedom, democracy, equality, justice. But in four years, we destroyed Hitler! And in 10 years, we couldn't destroy bin Laden?
We didn't go on tours of duty. We went to fight and knew we would come back in a body bag or come back as victors or end up as POWs. Today, we have privatized our own effort to fight for the freedoms that we have inherited after 400 years of European civilization, but are more interested in the hockey game rather in the Canadian soldier that is being betrayed by the government of Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, supposedly allies, but were selling us to the Taliban. Why? Because you are silent.
Let me give you the status of what happened after, what Salman Rushdie calls the Midnight Children, were born (those born in the '40s), when the jewel of the British Empire (India) was divided in two. We had the Cold War, and other than the missile crisis of Cuba, communism was destroyed in a battle of ideas. It took four decades, but by 1990 and by the year 2000, communism was wiped out. The Gulags of Solzhenitsyn and Sakharov were finished, people (Russians) felt the freedom. Today, they live under a different form of oligarchy. That's a separate story, but we destroyed communism without firing a bullet!
Today, we are fighting another idea of Islamofascism that has shut our mouths, and we can't speak because we are too scared that someone will turn around and call us a racist. And mind you everyday, as I speak, a few dozen Muslims would have been killed by now by the Jihadis. But what are we doing today? Are we not more concerned in Parliament about the ill-treatment of the Taliban at the hand of the Afghan army? But do you ever hear about the hundreds of people being slaughtered by the same Taliban right across the world? [It's] a threat they pose to this country, to the extent we have a terror trial coming up every few months. But none of us want to talk about it, because it makes us uncomfortable. The hockey game, the basketball match, the Air Canada Center--all of this is more important to us than the civilization that we've inherited.
Did you know that last week, a Canadian was convicted of terror-related charges in Chicago for involvement in two incidents in Denmark and in India? How many of you know his name? I can tell you, not more than 1% of this country's population knows about this incident, because we have forsaken our country and said we will subcontract it to some gladiator who will take care of us.
In the meantime, the forces of Islamism, and I distinguish it from the religion of Islam, which most of you are finding it very difficult. My point about communism and Hitler was that we knew them. We knew Lenin wore a suit. We knew Hitler wore a suit. We knew he listened to Wagner. We knew someone read Shakespeare. We knew who was Pushkin, and they knew what was our tradition. But in the case of the threat that worldwide Jihad poses to us, we are illiterate, and instead we are admitting that there is not a single a university course that teaches us the ABC of Islamism. We try to subcontract it to consultants who then make a profit by telling us that that is what you have to do. And instead of bringing victory over the fascist forces of the Muslim Brotherhood, we now recognize that their infiltration is right up to the American White House. But we can't say that.
We, today, have a situation where the religion of Islam is being used as a tool by a fascist force. The combination of the thought that life begins after death and the supremacy of Arab Muslims over the rest of the world is not debated. We are willing to even tolerate or discuss the Israel Apartheid Week, but we are not willing to stand up in front of the Saudi Embassy and say that you, in the name of Islam, practice an apartheid that is shameful. We have people not standing up for Air Canada but instead Emirate Airlines, a national airline of a country that practices slavery to this day.
Something, brothers and sisters, has gone wrong. The sponge-like spine that we are displaying could lead us to the end of the civilization as we know it. That men and women are equal and sit in the front row of such an event is not something that was always there. It has come out of 400 years. It has come out of the Enlightenment. It has come out of Europe. It has come out of the French and American revolutions. Trust me. I'm from India. It didn't come out of the Gupta Dynasty. It didn't come from the Ming Dynasty of China. Many of these thoughts originated and crystallized into European civilization, but how dare we feel ashamed of the fact that this is a country where gay people can marry, that you cannot go against the Jews and slander them and practice antisemitism [and listen until you couch] that as solidarity with the Palestinians. And European antisemitism is now creeping into our society under the guise of showing solidarity with Muslims.
It is horrendous what is happening, but no one is speaking because nobody wishes to insult or demean the Muslim community, and that is the right thing to do. However, please understand that there is a distinction between Islam as a faith, which along with every other religion has its own problems, and Islamism, which is an ideology, a political ideology, that says that western civilization has to be destroyed. The books that are distributed at Eaton Center and the Dundas Square clearly state by the founders of the Muslim Brotherhood that all western countries have to be destroyed. They are distributed free of charge. I have never seen one Canadian stand up to the goon who distributes that. We makes noise after lost Stanley Cup games, but we don't make noise of what is happening to western civilization, of which Canada is an integral part.
We are a society and a culture that saves its best parking spaces for handicapped men, like me. We do not throw the marginalized into separate, segregated camps. We take care of them. That culture, that civilization, is superior to the one in which a thousand people can be killed and shot dead by the army of Syria, but nobody speaks about it.
In the closing time that I have, I want you to focus, and I hope you can talk to your families and your friends and your neighbors, that when someone says that there is a penetration of Jihadi Islamists within Canadian society, do not dismiss it as some right-wing, xenophobic, racist rant.
Today, in the White House, there are three members of the Muslim Brotherhood that influence Obama's policy. One is Rashad Hassan of Indian origin, who is the American ambassador to the 52-nation organization of Islamic countries. Dahlia Mujahid who writes his speech, who comes from the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. Just day before yesterday, another woman, an academic, was appointed in that circle. This is happening while we sit silent, and I say that as a liberal democrat, as someone who worked and campaigned for Barrack Obama.
We have evidence in Canada of this penetration that's going on. Our campuses are no longer the campuses where you can talk freely. You have antisemitism on the rise at University of Toronto. Just a couple of weeks ago, there was a count of Jews in the University of Toronto--in an academics class. This is happening friends. I'm not talking of Nuremberg or Heidelberg of the '30s. I'm talking 2011 University of Toronto here in the Social Work Department, where the professor said to the class, Oh, half of my peers are Jews, and it went unprotested. And when it starts with the Jews, because they are so few, trust me, it extends to other people.
We have sacrificed a lot to create a society where men and women are equal, where black and white can be of equal status, where citizenship is not based on inherited race or religion. Let us not sacrifice that in the name of pluralism and tolerance, and tolerate bigotry and Islamofascism as if it was something that need to be tolerated. I refer to that as "racism of lower expectations," when you say yes, the rest of us are equal human beings but those Muslims--well, maybe they are not yet fully developed as human beings, so we will put a lower threshold. If that guy beats up his wife and kills his daughter, we won't even call it honor killing. That happened in this city! When Aqsa Pervez died, there were women groups saying that's not honor killing. For crying out loud, 5000 Pakistani women die every year. If you claim you have done an honor killing, you get half a sentence than what you do with a murder. And yet, there are feminist organizations in this city that would refer to me as a right-wing lunatic or an agent of Zionism for having spoken up for the dead body of Aqsa Pervez.
Why is it happening? Because we are not speaking out. And the dangers we face, if we do not confront them today, our children will not forgive us tomorrow.
Thank you very much.

The first time we had been to Rome was in 1961, for our honeymoon, la luna di miele as the Italians would say. For some reason it took us another 23 years to return and this time with our 17 year old daughter.
Carlo, our Bolognese friend, a research scientist who works for the Consiglio Nazionale di Ricerca or the National Research Council of Italy, travelled often to the head office in Rome. His hotel recommendation was Albergo Venezia, near the main railway station, Stazione Termini, and a clean, well run, relatively inexpensive hotel to boot. So that's where we stayed for a week.
Public transport in Rome was very good, parking was impossible so we had arranged to give up our rental car at Rome. Often we looked out our hotel window and wondered what all the noise was. Triple parking, not ordinary double parking, seemed to be very common in Rome but sometimes the inner car needed to leave before the outer cars. So lots of honking and shouting ensued in order to alert the hopefully nearby drivers of these cars that they needed to move them subito or right now!
The hotel was very close to the main station and there you could catch a bus or take the underground and that's how we got around in this large busy city. We found a rather nice restaurant nearby and most nights we ate there. After the first night, as soon as we entered the door, the waiter placed a carafe of the house vino rosso and a litre bottle of acqua gassata on our table. We didn't even have to ask. We were "regulars".
Looking at my photo album of this trip brings back the reminders of Rome. I can see we spent some time in and around the Basilica di San Pietro or St Peter's Basilica, seen above, with its wonderful square designed by Bernini and the dome of Michelangelo. Inside this most famous building is the pietà of Michelangelo which is now behind glass since it was attacked and damaged in 1972. It also houses the famous 13th century bronze statue of St Peter which has the feet worn smooth due to the many pilgrims who place kisses there. This church is huge in length, width and height and the Bernini canopy which covers the papal altar under the high dome is as tall as a small building itself, standing at 96 feet high.
We passed almost a whole day in the Vatican Museum which had certainly been much improved since our visit in 1961, being much better organized and its treasures better displayed than previously. This tour included the Sistine Chapel which I have always found rather difficult to appreciate. Perhaps now that it has been restored I would find it more pleasing, although one has to appreciate the monumental task this was for Michelangelo. This site of the Papal Enclaves is a huge overwhelming room, rather dark and completely decorated by some the greatest Italian painters of the 15th and 16th centuries. The end wall with its enormous painting of the Last Judgment and of course the very famous ceiling with the Creation of Man were the works of Michelangelo, both of which were completed over different periods of time. The ceiling which is flat, although it gives the impression of being vaulted, took Michelangelo four years to paint. It was very hard on the neck to look up and see these amazing frescoes and the attendants were anxious for the visitors to move along steadily and were constantly trying to keep the crowds quiet, since it is a church after all.
We spent quite a time around the sites of Ancient Rome, including the Colosseum and the Roman Forum with its great temples. Since we had recently watched again the BBC series, I Claudius, with Derek Jacobi as Claudius and Brian Blessed as Augustus Caesar, we went to visit Augustus's tomb, seen here. The ashes of many members of his family, thought to include Claudius, were interred here. It is the largest Roman tomb and sadly it is crumbling away and not open to the public, however I believe there are plans to reopen it in 2009.
One of our most interesting visits on this trip was to a spot was near the Spanish Steps. We went to Keats' house, which is located to the right of the steps and is maintained as a museum to Keats, Shelley, Byron and other Romantic poets. He lived and died there in 1821 and I talked about it here when I posted a photo of the Spanish Steps for Saturday Photo Hunt. We spent several very enjoyable hours there, poking about the treasures and reading the letters. There was no one else there and we made a wonderful leisurely exploration of the museum.
Rome is full of the most beautiful fountains and above you can see the famous Fontana di Trevi, Fountain of Trevi, featured so many times in films. The tradition is if you throw a coin into this fountain you will one day return to Rome. It must have worked in 1961 because here I was again. Remember Three Coins in the Fountain? The other fountain photo is Bernini's Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi or Fountain of Four Rivers, in the Piazza Navona, covered with the ever present pidgeons. It was late afternoon when I took this photo so it's rather in the shadow. Click to improve it a little.
Then it was time to end this month we had spent in Italy and return home. By the time we had returned to Vancouver, my daughter had decided that, in addition to majoring in French for her university degree, she would study Italian. I tried to convince her to take Spanish instead, thinking it would be more useful if she went into teaching. But she was determined and took Italian for two years, only dropping it when she enrolled in French honours and there was no space for Italian. Of course, when she married an Italian, she was able to say, "I told you so!"
I bet you thought you were never coming to the end of this trip to Italy. It only lasted a month, you say. It seemed like years! I hope you found something to interest you as I wrote about one of the trips I have made to my very favourite tourist destination, Italy. Remember the earlier parts of this saga are here, here, here, here and here.
Join me later when I write about my experiences of going to language school in Italy and doing a "homestay" with an Italian family. Not once, not twice, but three times, in three different cities.
I apologize for the spacing problems which seem to be insoluble. What looks fine in the preview turns into a disaster on publishing. Unless I have a brainstorm this is as good as it gets.

Bluesteel needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 96 designs submitted by 25 freelance designers.
Snooty Waiter
A restaurant reviewer that has worked in the restaurant business for years from server to general manager. I will give a blend of professional and personal opinion as well as food and dining education. This will be a website first and then branch out from there.
Everyone that dines out and is looking for an opinion on where to go. People that are tired of restaurant reviews that talk over their heads or mass reviews that are amateur and uninformed.
I'm looking for a sharp, modern logo with a waiter within the logo.
I don't want the waiter to overtake the words. I also do not want the waiter to look like a cartoon.
Colors that should be utilized are red, black and white.
Font should be clear, sharp, modern. I'd like to stay away from cursive lettering.
I'd like the full body of the waiter in the logo not just from the waist up. I have imagined the waiter as a silhouette.I want the waiter to have a snooty but professional look, not arrogant and bitter.
Again I'm looking for sharp, modern design.
Fairly simple, not too crowded, something people will take seriously.
If you've got a great idea, I want to see it.
Files required are all of the following:

DETROIT -- In a quiet spot on the Chrysler stand at the Detroit auto show is the Chrysler 300 Turbine concept car. As concepts go, it's mild: matte finish "Turbine Copper," 22-inch wheels and a billet grille, all to honor the 1963 Chrysler Turbine show car.
It made me smile. My late father-in-law, Sheldon Woodard, would have grinned. Fifty years ago he was Chrysler's lead manufacturing engineer on the project to build the world's first turbine-powered car.
That was back when my wife, Kathryn, was a youngster in suburban Detroit. She recalls getting picked up after school by her father and sometimes another giggling engineer and being stuffed into the back seat of some advanced prototype for a joyride -- um, concept testing.
She especially remembered the turbine car prototype. Its weird sound, for one thing. And a grown woman leaping into the air.
So I asked Shel for the full story.
Chrysler killed the project just as it was nearing production, so it should have been a sad tale. But Shel kept on grinning and laughing as he told it. The car that never was left an indelible mark on him, even decades later.
He knew my wife's story well. Shel and a design staff engineer had checked out the prototype that day and drove home to Franklin to collect his daughter. They had stopped at traffic light in downtown Birmingham just when a well-dressed woman walked behind the car.
"When the light turned green, I nailed it, and when that exhaust hit she went about a foot straight up," Shel said, starting to giggle again. "There's a rumor the turbine'll melt the nylons off a woman's legs. Nah, it blows them off."
He explained that the Chrysler turbine processed 200 times as much air as a piston engine. And, like an aircraft jet engine, it spooled up before it started to move the car, so the engineers' pedestrian victim got a sustained blast of warm air.
Shel had his own take on why Chrysler didn't build the turbine car. He recalled then-Chairman Lynn Townsend taking one for a spin the weekend before the board was to vote on production. Townsend was stranded in a smoking hulk when a pebble defeated the air filter and the turbine ate its own rotors -- a cascading catastrophe.
But weep not for the Chrysler Turbine. The technology lives on in the turbine engine of the M1 Abrams, the U.S. Army's main battle tank.

Network Tulsa
IT Company, Business Computer Systems, Consulting, Networking, Build Custom Servers and PC's software support. Technology Company. I do have networktulsa.com, but there is nothing on it at the moment.
The picture I uploaded is a pic of the Tulsa Skyline, most people in Tulsa recognize this. I didn't know if you could integrate (maybe an outline sketch? Another recognizable thing most people associate with Tulsa is the font used in tulsahurricane.com site. I would like it to say tulsa, and networking, technology. Also the fact that NT for network tulsa has connotations of NT operating system? I have had this business now for over ten years and have never advertised or even had a decent website. (pretty bad considering I am a network, computer company.) recently with the economy, etc my business has suffered a downturn and I am ready to get serious about a website and advertising, branding my company, and running it differently. I figured the best place to start was a logo. My Father is a photographer and works with photoshop a lot and he has tried to help me, but I have found I really don't know what I want until I see it and him and I are probably wasting our time. Thanks for your efforts. Sincerely, Mark Williams
Note: I'm not completely sold on the skyline, so any other ideas would be appreciated. I just don't want to pigeon hole the project with too many limitations. : My target audience would be mostly Medium to Small Business Firms needing outsourced IT work, Administration, monitoring, networking, offsite backup etc.

1. Re: RenderkitUtils and decodeBehaviorsBrian Leathem Sep 27, 2011 10:30 AM (in response to Brian Leathem)
Thinking about it some more, the startsWith check would give a false positive when checking nested components. However, if we check for the JSF client ID sperator in the trailing piece, we would be more rigorous.
2. Re: RenderkitUtils and decodeBehaviorsBrian Leathem Sep 27, 2011 1:53 PM (in response to Brian Leathem)
I implemented the above check, and pushed the change to the github branch:
The check is done in the method:
public static boolean isBehaviorSourceValid(char separatorChar, String behaviorSource, String clientId) { if (behaviorSource == null) { return false; } if (!behaviorSource.startsWith(clientId)) { return false; } int suffixStart = behaviorSource.indexOf(clientId); int suffixEnd = suffixStart + clientId.length(); String suffix = behaviorSource.substring(suffixEnd); boolean containsSeperatorChar = (suffix.indexOf(separatorChar) >= 0); return (! containsSeperatorChar); }
3. Re: RenderkitUtils and decodeBehaviorsNick Belaevski Sep 28, 2011 11:59 PM (in response to Brian Leathem)
IMHO, this is a problem of autocomplete that should be providing correct behavior context with clientId explicitly set on rendering and utility class should not left changed. For example you can take a look at how Mojarra/MyFaces do this for select many checkbox component.
Alternatively, 'change' event can be called in the context of root component element.
4. Re: RenderkitUtils and decodeBehaviorsIlya Shaikovsky Sep 29, 2011 7:12 PM (in response to Brian Leathem)
First thoughts was about the cases like
<input id="input1"/>
<input id="input2"/>
if somehow "input" will be passed as a source (some durty javascript sent just from debug console or something like that) then it potentially could allow the behavior from input1 pretend to be bound to input2. But thats seems too fantasy case.
And I think that
separatorCharcheck you made is really enough and should be the only problem.
5. Re: RenderkitUtils and decodeBehaviorsBrian Leathem Oct 3, 2011 8:02 PM (in response to Brian Leathem)
I remedied RF-10862 by firing an additional event with the ID of the autocomplete component, rather than loosening up the RenderkitUtils decodeBehaviours restrictions.
If more similar issues come up, we can take another look at loosening up the decodeBehaviours restrictions.
6. Re: RenderkitUtils and decodeBehaviorsBrian Leathem Jul 26, 2012 5:42 PM (in response to Brian Leathem)
This came up again with RF-12114. I again resolved the issue by firing secondary events. We need a more robust solution, as this undobtedly affects other components too.
The DOM event model supports bubbling of events, we should consider supporting a similar bubbling of events within event model of the JSF component tree. The startWith/separationChar check suggested above seems like a good start at supporting such a bubbling of events, by restricting the "bubbling" of JSF events accross JSF component boundaries.
We should build the required tests to guard against regressions, and make the above change.
7. Re: RenderkitUtils and decodeBehaviorsLukáš Fryč Jul 30, 2012 3:28 AM (in response to Brian Leathem)
Brian, could you write down how you imagine the proposed alghoritm for DOM Event bubbling?

Dierra (probably misspelled her name) is awesome! Not only did she change her gloves, she used fresh lettuce and cheese to avoid cross contamination.
1145 S Victoria Ave, Ventura, CA 93003
The food is good they said I could eat most anything but the tortillas. The server said she did not know about the rice so I skipped the rice, though online the list the rice as gluten free. See https://www.chipotle.com/dietary-options.

Very impressed with how well they followed whatever protocol chipotle has in place. My sister and I ordered 3 bowls gluten free (celiacs), and we didn't even need to specify allergy or celiac before they switched gloves, spoons, got fresh ingredients, and even prepped food on the back counter. I was impressed especially with how busy they get.
1680 45th St S, Fargo, ND 58103
I'll never trust Chipotle. I've seen good reviews and tried it and already been very sick. Even if they change their gloves and clean the with area, they are taking from food bins that you can watch them drag wheat tortillas over, and spinning food into tortillas, rubbing the spoon in the what and putting it back into the topping tub. Unless they adopt a protocol of making glutrn free from the bulk instead of the line, and have all employees trained, it's not worth the risk.

97 Boston Turnpike, Shrewsbury, MA 01545
Dirty! And though we asked them to re-glove and clean the line, they only re-gloved. I had to explain to staff that our cheese, guac and lettuce needed to come from the back, according to Chipotle's allergy policy for cross contamination and other staff harassed her for doing it. They couldn't even properly roll a burrito for the one non-celiac person in our party, tortilla didn't close and exploded contents all over the place. I know we will probably be sick before we get home.

Eat here regularly with no issues. Servers change spoons.. gloves.. get soon items from the back...and wipe down board each time. Have never complained or even had an issue no matter the line. This was my first restaurant I sent to after my diagnosis and they were great to deal with.

AMAZING!!! DeAngelo and the rest of the employees here were beyond caring and diligent in making my first experience here a fantastic one! They made me every ingredient I wanted from scratch in the back and pulled fresh veggie toppings out of the fridge so that none of the ingredients had a chance of being cross contaminated on the line. It took about 15 minutes, but was well worth it to ensure there was no cross contamination. They also changed their gloves and washed their hands for the whole process. I asked them to do all of those things, and they assured me that they follow that protocol normally for allergy customers (I'm Celiac and have a dairy allergy) I liked that I could see every part of what they were doing and it calmed my anxiety a TON. Food was delicious and I will absolutely be returning to this location again.

Beware of cross contamination here! I got really sick after eating a salad and bowl. Told the staff I have Celiac and allergy to gluten. He changed his gloves but the spoons that they use were not changed and I got very ill. I think the spoons touched a flour tortilla and that same spoon was used to make my salad.

Chipotle does not have a gluten free menu but instead has a list of gluten-containing ingredients to avoid. Cross-contamination is a concern, however, so let the person taking your order know that you are gluten free and if you need them to take the proper precautions. From their website: "If you avoid gluten, don't eat our flour tortillas. If you are highly sensitive to gluten and would like us to change our gloves, just let us know at the start of your order. You should be aware items containing corn, including corn tortillas (chips, soft corn, and crispy corn tortillas) and corn salsa, may have a small amount of gluten from potentially co-mingling with gluten-containing grains in the field."

Just days after the sighting of several BTR-80 variants among other military equipment bound for Syria onboard the Russian Navy ship Nikolay Filchenkov, an Alligator-class landing ship of Russia's Black Sea Fleet, more advanced Russian-made weaponry has apparently found its way to Syria, with the sighting of BTR-82s being the latests in a series of ill-reported weapon deliveries to the war torn country.
Footage of the Lattakia offensive shows the presence of at least one BTR-82A infantry fighting vehicle (IFV) taking part in the offensive aimed at recapturing previously lost territory in North-Eastern Lattakia. The offensive is conducted jointly by the National Defence Force (NDF), Syrian Arab Army (SyAA), and the Republican Guard, the latter of which only recently deployed to the Syrian Coast in such large numbers. Along with its T-72s, BMP-2s and 152mm 2S3 Akatsiya self-propelled howitzers, the Republican Guard arrived here in mid June 2015. It can be expected that the delivery of BTR-82s to Syria occured at around the same time. The arrival of the Republican Guard greatly boosted the firepower of the National Defence Force, tasked with defending the region and mostly armed with ageing weaponry that was previously stored. In fact, the NDF was even forced to use 100mm KS-19 anti-aircraft guns as conventional artillery during previous offensives.
The camouflaged BTR-82A comes with the tacitcal number ''111''. This opposed to the identification system seen on Syrian military vehicles already in service for longer periods of time. The BTR-80s delivered under the chemical weapons deal were all painted olive drab without any tactical markings.
Delieveries of military equipment to Syria are undertaken by Russian Navy landing ships, sailing from the Black Sea to the Mediterranean on a regular basis. While opposed to the Assad regime, almost all of the military equipment delivered to the regime passes right through Turkey's largest city. Just 3 days ago, on 20 August, landing ship Nikolay Filchenkov passed through Istanbul carrying trucks and armoured vehicles on its deck. The presence of the vehicles on deck was notable, as equipment was previously only carried in the cargo bay and thus out of sight when passing the Bosphorus. This likely means that the batch of vehicles being sent to Syria under this deal was so big that it simply didn't fit in the cargo bay alone!
The main difference is the presence of the TKN-4GA-02 night-vision device on top of the BTR-82's turret, replacing the BTR-80's TPN-3 night-vision device. A second identification point is the different exhaust, which can also be seen below.
The delivery mainly serves as a reminder of Russia's commitment to support the Assad regime, meaning deliveries of other vehicles and weapons systems are likely in the future. With the supply of brand-new looking T-72AVs still sporting all explosive reactive armour (ERA) titles appearing infinite, the Syrian Arab Air Force (SyAAF) remaining capable of supressing rebel groups and flying desperate revenge strikes on recently lost towns in addition to the string of articles of recently delivered Russian weaponry seen below, Russia's commitment to keeping the Assad regime in power continues to be greatly underestimated and might be far larger than anyone previously expected.

Keep in mind I am a strong believer in the saying "Any Given Sunday".
That being said, of all the games this season. This is the one game I am MOST confident in Seattle winning.
What do the Rams have to play for? Pride of going somewhat undefeated in the division and the upside of going into next year with a win.
What is Seattle playing for? The pride of going undefeated at home, the upside of going into THIS years playoffs with consecutive wins. Possibly taking the NFC West and even more so a first round bye should the Vikings win.
The end result is Seattle has more to lose this weekend then the Rams do. Given the personality of this team, they will not take this lightly! I expect them to come out hitting just as hard, if not HARDER then last weekend.

Boston Marathon Winner!
American Meb Keflezighi has won the 2014 Boston Marathon, making him the first American to do so since 1985! Keflezighi had the names of the victims from last years tragic bombing written on the corners of his bib, and plans on meeting with their families if possible. According to the Associated Press:
"Keflezighi had the names of last year's victims written in marker on the corners of his official runner's bib. The names included the three people killed in last year's marathon and the name of a police officer from MIT who was allegedly killed by the bombing suspect days later"
Keflezighi is a former New York City Marathon champion and Olympic medalist and ran the race in an amazing 2 hours, 8 minutes, 37 seconds.
Click here for a comprehensive breakdown of the Boston Marathon 2014 Results, and congratulations to everyone who ran this years race!

Funtoo needs to be able to create bootable media.
Needs? We seem to be doing fine without our own branded media.
Anyway, it shouldn't be hard to add ISO/image generation to Metro.
I should say I get really confuzed when figuring out bootloader->kernel->init, so this might get messy.
The following is some pseudosteps which I think would create an ISO.
- Create a stage4, but instead of tar compression, use squashfs.
- From brief exploration, it seems targets/gentoo/stage/capture will be the place to edit.
- Make an kernel w/ genkernel; should be able to handle squashfs.
- If not with genkernel, get a generic kernel (monolithic or modular), make initramfs with better-initramfs.
- Prepare isolinux.
- ISOLINUX's documentation is a little arcane, and I have no idea how gentoo's livedvd handles EFI.
- ...
- Profit!
LiveCD/DVD Generation
Squashfs compression in Metro
Taking a look at etc/builds/funtoo/build.conf, there is no reference to what type to capture (see targets/gentoo/stage/capture/). I have no idea where to specify ami (and therefore any other capture method).
Metro would need to create a stage4, then use that as a seed for an ISO (or, shall we do something completely different?).
Update 1
Metro comes bundled with a stage4 target. The stage4 collects targets/gentoo/stage/capture/tar.spec; some quick edits later it should be squashfs-compressed.
This stage contains a full dev-environment (gcc, portage etc.) which usually doesn't go onto installation media. I like them there, but others may want a way to prune.
Update 2
Apart from fine-tuning init (and pruning), this is pretty much done.
Autodetection, MOTD, autologin all need to be done (currently it boots into a regular login which hasn't been setup).
Waiting for Funtoo Startup to get written.
Update 3
Autologin works (not like gentoo livecd, but it drops to a root shell which is what we want). Autodetection goes under OpenRC tweaking.
Bootable kernel
I'm pretty sure a genkernel kernel can be put on a livecd as-is, but by now the squashfs is set in stone; too late for the modules to be placed in /lib/modules.
I seem to remember a gentooor maybe it was ubuntu... livecd with grub. How?
Update 1
With "stage5", we actually have the kernel and modules inside the squashfs (so no problem there); the problem is now we need it _outside_...
Probably not a major problem. unsquashfs can selectively extract any necessaries from it.
The final part of the process is bringing it altogether. I can't imagine that metro can take a stage5.sqfs and make funtoo-${subarch}.iso.
Update 2
Using a shell script, it can be quite easy to collect the pieces for a livecd. I'm not sure what metro can run after steps/capture, but that might be able to do it at some point after.
isolinux and its config are pretty static on an arch, but I would like to see a dynamic way of creating them.
Other than that, just some init (loads of openrc errors) tweaking.
Update 3
I'm using cdupdate.sh to apply a workaround for init/openrc.
Just tweaking left.
Now, this is slightly easier yet more difficult. A liveUSB image should be the product of:
However, boot-loaders (EXTLINUX, GRUB) need a real mounted device, which is $DIFFICULTY; especially when considering automating it: metro can (if your portage snapshot is already made) run many instances at the same time without problem; otherwise you'd need a spare partition and fast drives so you can dd off many images (I suspect it would be several hours per image).
Mounting an empty image via loop and writing to it doesn't work AFAIK:
Some of us are loud proponents for lvm, and installing a gentoo/funtoo instance on an LVM on a USB has the possibility of being *very* practical.
Basically, instead of the squashfs, we have a (compressed or not) lvm image that we mount as our rootfs in the live environment; the "stage 5" (stage 4 + kernel stuff).
To install it, just dd the lvm to the hdd (as long as the hdd has the capacity to hold the lvm image).
This should put a very small partition onto the hdd with the rest zeroed and unused. In the live environment: fdisk in and change the end cylinder of the partition (max it out), then pvresize to get the lvm filling the disk.
Update 1
Unix's "everything is a file" falls down here (just saying).
Update 2
isolinux's documentation mentions isohybrid, which can make the the same livecd also bootable from keys.
Two updates down, I haven't looked at this yet (LiveCD first).
http://edoceo.com/liber/gentoo-live-usb - Unfortunately, in this case, pretty much all of the work has already been done by catalyst.
Current Issues
Read-only file system
The live CD environment is completely read-only, which is a problem most of the time but very inconvenient if you download a stage without preparing a hard disk (or tmpfs) first.
Until a suitable workaround is found and implemented, please try the following.
Workaround 1
Prepare a temporary directory in ram:
Workaround 2
Prepare your hard disk on /mnt/gentoo and download it there:
Workaround 3
Pipe wget into tar:
The following block only needs to be run once, the first time you use metro.
Testing checklist
Due to the complexity, many things are likely to go wrong. Potential testers should be asked to nohup or tee their output for debugging.
- stage 1, 2 and 3 should be exactly like using the original funtoo/~funtoo build targets.
- stage 4 is a stage 3 with some extra packages (no configuration).
- stage 5 is the complex step
- stage 5 installs an extra package (because of its special USE flag), compiles a kernel and compresses it into a squashfs-image instead of a tarball.
- Then, it takes the squashfs image and wraps an ISO around it.
- ISO 9660 boot code binary data (7zip hides this in [BOOT])
- kernel, initramfs etc
- isolinux config
- cdupdate.sh
- /livecd marker
