I finally have a working ppp(dial-up) connection using straight outa the box Bering. Everything works, except: ** I cannot complete the load from the 2nd floppy. The install seems to cut off mid flight. Here is the syslinux.cfg I am using (all in one line starting with 'default'): -------------------------- display syslinux.dpy timeout 0 default linux initrd=initrd.lrp log_size=4M syst_size=10M init=/linuxrc rw root=/dev/ram0 boot=/dev/fd0u1680:msdos PKGPATH=/dev/fd0 u1680,/dev/fd1u1680 LRP=root,etc,local,modules,iptables,ppp,shorwall,ulogd,dnscache,weblet,netutils,tcpdump,libz,sftp,ssh,sshd,sshk ey -------------------------- Everthing from tcpdump on is located on the 2nd floppy. Some of it loads depending on the what is included in the line preceding the *.lrp files. The install just cuts off, sometimes calling a file by it's sliced off name, ie, 'tcp (nf!)' then skips the rest.
Things noticed/tried: ** If I move the log_size and syst_size above, thus: -------------------------- display syslinux.dpy timeout 0 append log_size=4096 append syst_size=10240 default linux initrd=initrd.lrp init=/linuxrc rw root=/dev/ram0 boot=/dev/fd0u1680:msdos PKGPATH=/dev/fd0 u1680,/dev/fd1u1680LRP=root,etc,local,modules,iptables,ppp,shorwall,ulogd,dnscache,weblet,netutils,tcpdump,libz,sftp,ssh,sshd,sshk ey --------------------------- then only the syst_size gets set up, it ignores log_size. ** I have also tried 'append ramdisk_size= ******' to no avail. ** I have tried shuffling the deck (changing the order of the appends) (only last one gets set up. ** I have tried combination of 'append' and contained inside the 'default' line. Still doesn't work. ** If I do not set up syst_size I run out of RAM and cannot complete the install. ** Do I need to explictly set up extra 'ramdisk_size' or does 'syst_size' do the same? Here's the big question: ** I appears that 'syslinux.cfg' has a max line length. When I cross that limit, nothing after gets installed. Is there a line length limit? and how do I deal with? Things checked: I have scoured the "syslinux" site for 'syslinux.cfg' helps. Just the basics, no details or examples. Here's hoping someone can help me out. Thanks. -- Bob Peterson -- Robert S.
