Hello Eric, I know these packages exist and it is easy to setup. But there are still too many steps envolved for the average n00b. Consider for a moment, a prospective user: one must first decide which packages to use:
dropbear/openssh? ipsec/openvpn? dhcpcd/dnsmasq? shorwall.lrp/iptables.lrp (confusing for those who don't [yet] know shorewall is a highlevel frontend to iptablets) Once this is determined, one has to shuffle disks and type all those "strange/foreign" unix commands (4.3. Create a bootable HD). Run syslinux, copy/modify syslinux.cfg and leaf.cfg. One simple typo and the system won't boot. Where to seek help; the leaf mailing list? I doubt it. This is too intimidating already. Anyhow, I guess what I'm really suggesting is to have a standard (8-12MB?) CF/HD image with the package-equivalent of say a snapgear or m0n0wall. Enough to boot a feature rich leaf distro. -cpu __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
