Everything I post to the internet, by it's nature, can't be copyrighted, because the internet is the essence of free exchange. Just because I arranged a series of 1's and 0's in an interesting pattern does not give me the right to claim that I am the only one who can do so. But that's a whole 'nother thread for a differernt newsgroup :-o In other words, you're welcome to it without restriction. The problem I noticed with it right after I hit send was that it didn't mention Shorewall, a fundamental aspect of making it a router/firewall. So maybe the line would need to say: upon a tried and true router called Dachstein rc2, created by Charles S_____ and upon the Shorewall firewall by Tom Eastep. > Some news about Bering beta-4 about to be released: > > the initial loading of modules from boot/lib/modules now works > properly ifupdown has been fixed and do not use ifconfig and > route anymore (only ip) latest shorewall to be included > > Should be ready for testing tomorrow > I would like to include in the doc two paragraphs about: > Booting Bering from an hard disk This varies a lot with the syslinux version used and the available tools to prepare the hard drive. If you have a stable set of tools like mkdosfs, syslinux, and the like, then this wouldn't be too hard. David made a lot of these tools into .lrp packages. I'll mess around with them some more. But I've syslinuxed an IDE drive and still had remenants from System Commander in the master boot block that screwed with booting to the syslinux boot: prompt. So it's never a piece of cake, especially with syslinux going through so many revisions. I'll see if anyone knows the best version so far. > Booting Bering from DOC >From an M-Systems Disk On Chip? > Any volunteer ? > > Next on the list: > ipsec > Cheers > Jacques _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
