All it requires it that your network adapters are set up and routing works. This is done by moving the modules for your network cards to /boot/lib/modules and declare them in /boor/etc/modules. Additionally you will have to modify the RCDLINKS parameter in /etc/init.d/modutils (just in case you are loading modules.lrp too). The modified parameter looks like: RCDLINKS="S,S20 3,S15" Now all you have to add are some parameters in /etc/lrp.conf, add rload to syslinux.cfg or lrpkg.cfg and you are done. Here is an example using wget to download the additional packages. Originally I used scp but this is just a bit too big to fit on a small floppy. ################################################# # Extensions for the rload function # please modify to suit your needs # copyleft 2003 Erich Titl [EMAIL PROTECTED] RLOAD_USER=mega # if you need a username provide it here RLOAD_PROGRAM=/usr/bin/wget # the program to tranfer your data RLOAD_PROGRAM_PARAMS="" # parameters for the transfer program RLOAD_HOST=194.124.158.50 # hostname or IP address RLOAD_DIR=leaf/firewall # the source directory almost like a URL RLOAD_SOURCE_DIR=http://${RLOAD_HOST}/${RLOAD_DIR} # composite for convenience RLOAD_INSTALL_PROGRAM="/usr/sbin/lrpkg" # the program used to unpack RLOAD_INSTALL_PROGRAM_PARAMS=-i # parameters for your unpack program RLOAD_EXIT_HOOKS= # call some cleanup script here RLOAD_DEST_DIR=/tmp # the destination dir RLOAD_DEST_PARAMS=-O RLOAD_PACKAGE_LIST=ssh,sshd,mawk,libz,shorwall,ipsec,iptables,modules,wget Of course you need a server located somewhere which hold your packages. You can use my modified backup script to upload your customised packages or just any other copy method. Here is a brief description how rload works. By installing the package the rload script gets installed in /etc/inid.d and a link gets created in /etc/rc2.d. This script runs at position 15 in init level 2 and downloads all you specify in lrp.conf. The packages are unpacked and the necessary links in the /etc/rc.x directories are recreated. Then the system is forced to init level 3 where all packages that require initialisation are started. The difference being is that your firewall now runs at init level 3 rather than 2.
