Here is my version. We (I and my staff) stat using LRP in 2000. At that time, we have 0 (zero) linux knowledge. we realized that there is to much (for us, totaly stupid linux newbie) configuration file that we need to open and edit to do the configuration.
With my very minimal experience as a dbase-III programmer, I start Sneaking all the configuration file and that init-script. Bingo ... I realize that most of the configuration can be done directly from the console-command, unless for the wireless part (we didn't now about iwconfig yet). We have to get prepared for a semi-mass-deployment of wireless router. With numbers of less-trained installers. We have to make the configuration lo-easier Start googling .... seeking for BASH documentation. Bla.. bla .. bla ... We end up with rolling (at least) 60 box LRP based wireless router that come with only 1 configuration file (win.ini style). Never use "lrcfg" anymore unless for configuration-file backup. We role that 60 box ... may be in just 2 - 3 month. Until now ... I think I rolled out 100 box , mixed of modified LRP , Bering, WISP-dist. I stop rolling out LEAF-based wireless router 1 - 2 years ago, since there is too many Taiwan's CPE floating arround. It's not practical anymore to hang a PC in 100 ft towers. I noticed that some of my box is still operational till now. Now, I only roll Mikrotik-based router. The only reason is because i'm a damn stupid coder, so that I could not add any Friendly user Interface to LEAF. Thats my storry Thanks to all LRP/LEAF coders -bino- ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Pitts" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, June 30, 2005 8:25 AM Subject: RE: [leaf-user] lets talk about something--anything! I have this problem as well! I rely on someone else to compile but luckily I use standard packages or someone is always good enough to do that for me! More power to the list! Regarding the difficulty of setting LEAF up, sure it's a steep learning curve for a Linux newbie but I am living proof that it can be done with the support you guys provide!

Hi Eric, Thanks for that, but (now don't laugh at me) that's the problem I have is not even knowing where to begin with "compiling" it. I know my way around a leaf machine with my eyes shut, installing modules,setting up just about anything, I've rolled out around 8 leaf box's on various networks, but for the life of me learning to setup a box to compile/build packages has me lost :( I know there is documentation on it, but because I'm not a fluent *nix user I'm lost with it...
