Sorry for the late addition: I am running a two-floppy setup with Eiger2beta, it should be similar: I have packages on both floppies, first is nearly full and second has decent room. Here is my syslinux.cfg: ----------------------------- display syslinux.dpy timeout 0 default linux append=load_ramdisk=1 initrd=root.lrp initrd_archive=minix ramdisk_size=20480 root=/dev/ram0 boot=/dev/fd0u1680,msdos PKGPATH=/dev/fd0u1680,/dev/fd1u1440 LRP=etc,log,local,modules,dhclient,dnscache,dhcpd,weblet,sshd,smb,lpd,lynx,psentry,vim ------------------------------
I believe all you have to do is add the other floppy to the PKGPATH (comma separated), and go on listing your packages. I also distributed my pkgs so that the second disc contains non-essentials, just in case I need to do without it. The last 4 pkgs in this list are on floppy 2. Note that the 2 floppies use different formats (the second drive doesn't like large floppies). Good luck, Alex Original message by Ewald Wasscher: -------------------------------------------------- This is fairly easy, and I have it working. This is what I did: 1. Format a new floppy for the second disk (the B: drive) 2. move all .lrp packages except for root.lrp from the first disk to the second.disk 3.in syslinux.cfg: change PKGPATH=/dev/fd0u1680 to: PKGPATH=/dev/fd1 for a 1.44 MB formatted floppy in the second floppy disk drive. From now on packages are loaded from and backed up to the second diskette. I don't know if it's possible to have other .lrp packages than root.lrp on the first diskette, maybe it works, maybe it doesn't. >>>>Could I format the original floppy to 2M and >>then save all the files to it? >> > > AFAIK syslinux doesn't work with 2M floppies. I didn't work for me at least. Ewald Wasscher _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
