My html line breaks aren't taking properly and with all the devel and personal work in the last month, not to mention migrating to a slightly different format on my site, I haven't got around to properly changing things to <p> as opposed to <br> and _implied_ browser interpretation. It is on the list with a couple of other updates/changes to do on the site.... pending finishing two other projects in the coming week. I would like to take on some contributed docs to Dachstein (submitted of course) and hopefully some scripting adds to make the setup a little more like FreeSCO for those who truly have no experience/knowledge with Linux and/or full TCP/IP setup. More or less the scripts would amount to something like an install.sh script setting already set variables on a custom image for different types of connections. Then again, I don't know if the demand suggests a _need_ for this other than slowing much of the mailing list traffic.

I was around and using LRP before and still monitoring/learning from the group when this incident happened. I must say that I still monitored the list after most everyone else was gone, but I totally understand and support everyone's decision. Political preferences aside, Dave really gave us something to work from that we owe some respect to. Not only from time saved to get where we are now, but in not selling out with a product that he would most likely make a better living with during the time that any of us have been using/developing from it. My political views personally are actually split down the middle between the two extremes, I won't punish him for his views but rather the fact that he forced many other people to be personally affected with them unknowingly and without any warning or consideration which is simply unforgiveable. If the present developers of LEAF would prefer that I make mention of this situation, I will willingly do so w/o reservation. Otherwise, I will, from respect, refer to the proper lrp branches from coming from Dave's release(s) out of the respect of my using his "base". I can honestly say that Coyote split quite a long time ago and even closed-source on the Win32 side for some time. I would say that the present devel release (hd version) isn't nearly as embedded as any of the LEAF versions. I can't honestly say that FreeSCO ever developed from LRP other than assumption w/o more digging. It is quite a mixture of honesty, personal experience, and opinion in particular with _that_ page w/o any predujice other than to have someone investigating an embedded *NIX distro to make a good choice on which direction to take. I've used all of those "deviants" and still do under certain circumstances. I prefer Dachstein and Oxygen to any others, which I believe is stated on the page. For what I do not personally use either of these two for, I am more than willing to devel to accomodate until they are the best tool. I've spent the last year working on a beta of a _personal_ server Linux distro based on LFS, which pretty much ended it's life cycle about 3 weeks ago with a major hd problem on my desktop while working on an installer. I have been promised some help if I baseit on Potato or Woody, but I don't really feel like starting over at this time. I have come to think that most everything I would setup is either somewhat available on LEAF or almost supported with a move up in glibc. Embedded would be much nicer than disk-based if I put some more thought into the different necessary chroot'ed environments. branch ~~~>thread, Feel free to contact me personally concerning any of this post or my web site. ~Lynn Avants aka Guitarlynn _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
