This is what I discovered trying to use the same approach as for 2.x. And yes! I was late in maintaining my firewall. I forgot it was living there - never a glitch, never a complaint :-) > > you have now several pre-built initrd files with various modules to > provide > boot off cd-rom, cf, hd and usb. just choose the right one. Yep. I'm booting from a CD with a small HDD for the backup. An old HP Vectra which I got for a few euros.. > > If you have any other reason to rebuild it, let us know which one it is. In fact, I did follow the new guide (RTFM first, I know) and that was OK with modules.lrp and moddb.lrp I use my Bering box to upgrade itself as this is presently my only Linux active machine. For information, I follow this simple protocol: - download the whole .iso on a Window$ system (don't flame) - engraved it on a CD or use virtual CD-ROM software (Alcohol 120%) - then for each .lrp module: - transfer from Win to Bering box (scp) => /tmp directory - untar the <module name>.lrp into /tmp/<module name> - modify any file under the /tmp/<module name> directory - re-tar the /tmp/<module-name> content into /tmp/<module-name>.lrp - transfer back to Win (scp) - when done, create CD (with isolinux as the loader) I've also done two small script (unzippackage, redopackage) to deal with the .lrp untar-retar And initrd.lrp did fit in this protocol before, but this is no longer the case today (unable to retar because no more mkfs.minix command).
