Hi Harold,
As I understand it, to make Bering work with IDE you would have to download the appropriate modules and put into the /lib/modules directory if not need on boot, or somewhere else if they are (/boot/lib/modules I believe). You have to be careful with the /boot/lib/modules area, as you have to backup initrd.lrp. Make sure the sizes are at least in the similar range. The Bering documentation on the leaf site will point you at the correct locations to put it: http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/jnilo/biaddrm.html#AEN513 All the ide modules are here: http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/jnilo/bering/latest/modules/drivers/ide Shouldn't take that long to boot from floppy.... And even if it does, how often do you reboot it! Also, you shouldn't have lost firewall settings etc, as they should be in shorwall.lrp... Have you tried using a REALLY big floppy size? I make mine with winimage (yes, WinDoze, I know, but I tend to create the floppy at work, and then configure at home later) at 1.72Mb and re-syslinux them. Seem to work fine, and provided you keep a backup...... What packages you trying to fit? You can drop some of the ones that are shipped if you need to...... you may not need bridge etc....
