If you're familiar with Dachstein-CD, customizing my Bering-CD ISO is probably the easiest way to go. You'll need to come up to speed on:
- - Shorewall
- - The new init scripts, which now use a leaf.cfg file to provide additional run-time configuration when booting from a CD or other read-only device (no more burning a new CD to change the size of your root ramdisk!).
When I transitioned to Bering-CD, the process was fairly straight-forward. I had to re-create my firewall setup in shorewall, obviously, but was able to port my configuration files (partial backups) from ssh, ipsec, snmp, and other packages directly to the new Bering system, so the upgrade was easier than you might think (although not a simple "CD Swap" like earlier Dachstein-CD upgrades).

I think if you add the uClibc library files to Bering, you can run any of the Bering-uClibc packages, but I haven't tried this so I'm not sure exactly what's needed.
If everything you need is packaged for Bering-uClibc, I'd probably just build a new ISO for uClibc. All that's needed is to replace the packages with their uClibc counterparts, and build a new boot floppy image for the CD. I can help with this if desired. The main hassle of building a new CD image is collecting all the packages...if you're willing to do most of that, I'll commit to making a Bering-uClibc boot disk image.
