Following my previous post on how to get rid of LRP kernel patches I have created a 2.4.14 base LEAF version with SHOREWALL as default firewall. Please consider this work as preliminary.
All the stuff is here: http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/jnilo/kernel-2.4.14/ The diskimage is: http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/jnilo/kernel-2.4.14/leaf-2.4.14-1680.b in use the command: dd if=leaf-2.4.14-1680.bin of=/dev/fd0u1680 to move it over to a floppy If you need extra kernel modules there are in: http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/jnilo/kernel-2.4.14/modules/ 1/ Kernel It's plain vanilla 2.4.14. They are 3 config files and 3 corresponding UPX compressed kernel in the directory. Small & Normal correspond to Charle's Dachstein. Mini does not have any IDE/PCMCIA support. 2/ Distro This 2.4.14 version is basically derived from the new dachstein-rc2 distro. Ipchains and related stuff has been removed and replaced by iptables 1.2.4. See: http://netfilter.samba.org/ Firewall is the nice tool designed by Tom Eastep, Shorewall in it's latest 1.1.18 version See: http://www.shorewall.net/ 3/ TO-DO's (among other things) 1/ clean-up /etc/init.d/network, /etc/network.conf and /etc/ipfilter.conf to get rid of all the unecessary stuff. 2/ In the above mentioned files check the QoS and bridge stuff 3/ modify /linuxrc to copy the initial initrd.gz to tmpfs and then pivot_root from there. Will allow to adjust the size of the filesystem dynamically. Pivot_root is provided in the busybox library. 4/ allow backup of initrd.gz ??? (not really useful, to my opinion) 5/ Adjust weblet script to take care of firewall messages Any feedback/ideas/help on the 5 points mentionned and any other would be welcomed!
