Victor - Thanks! I did look at the DCD image to see how it was done but in the ISO image, the syslinux.cfg file has the packages listed out and the lrpkg.cfg has that same information so I'm not clear on the syntax to make the program look for the list of packages in the lrpkg.cfg file. That's the point where I'm stuck.
It can't be as simple as putting "...LRP=/dev/hda1/lrpkg.cfg" in the syslinux.cfg. Or can it? paul > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Victor > McAllister > Sent: Sunday, March 31, 2002 6:37 PM > To: Leaf-User@Lists.
