Summary: initrd - increase  rootfs size

Initial Comment:
While loading additional packages (ipsec, sshd) from 
second floppy the root filesystem is going out of 
space. Moving  the /lib + /usr folder into an  
alternate ramdisk filesystem has no success.  

I installed the Bering_1.0-rc2 2.4.18 distribution. 
At startup it mounts a ramdisk with a size of 6144K 
for root. How I inrcease the size of the root 
filesystem?  

I tried the syslinux.cfg parameter:

ramdisk_size = 10240 and then 

default linux initrd=initrd.lrp ... 
root_size=09M temp_size=10M log_size=02M ...

without success. The rootfs has still a size of 6M.

Thanks ericv, I just found it in the archive:
the correct parameter in syslinux.cfg for increasing the 
rootfs is

syst_size=xxM
root_size was wrong!

and it is working!

In Linuxrc the system size can be changed manually by editing 

set
SYSTSIZE=XXXM
for the root partition a better solution is to 
use the following variables on the command line
syst_size=xxxM  for 
the System size = root partition
tmp_size=xxxM for the size of 
/tmp
log_size=xxxM for the size of /var/log

good luck
