RE: [Leaf-devel] SF Mirror

2002-02-18 Thread Steven Peck

And I imagine once I get my stuff set back up, I can pull down backups
as well.  To be honest, 35MB is not a lot of space to me.  I can also
dust off my tape drive and get it setup again.  If 'disaster' strikes I
imagine we'll have numerous geographically dispersed backups.  :)

In the mean time, I am trying to get my ISP to understand that 'static
ip address' does NOT mean static on the OUTSIDE of the DSL modem, but ON
MY MACHINE's NIC!  Particularly at the rate I am paying for.  As it
stands, it's nice for surfing and game play and such, but sucks for
web/mail server.

Matt,
I'm working on a site mirroring FAQ for this purpose.

[Leaf-devel] Re: [Leaf-user] udhcp package

2002-02-18 Thread guitarlynn

The udhcp.lrp package for Dachstein/mountain releases is ready
for testing. This package includes both a dhcp server and client
and weighs in at 22.6KB total. Full support for everything except
aliased interfaces should be there and working.

You can get it at:
http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/guitarlynn/images/udhcp.lrp

I'll see if I can get a non-release specific package up within
a couple of days.

Throw me some bugs and enjoy!

Re: [Leaf-devel] ADM Write Protect

2002-02-18 Thread Mike Noyes

Manfred,
I have a meeting this week with SST distributor Symmetry Electronics. They 
are providing me with a 8MB unit, so my father can try to create a 
jumper/switch that enables/disables WP.

The people at SST have indicated that WP is possible. It looks like the 
Apacer representative below is saying the same thing. A hardware change is 
needed. Specifically, creation of a jumper that connects pin 62 of the 
LD017 controller chip to ground is needed to use WP.

Does your Apacer ADM have an LD017 controller chip on it?

RE: [Leaf-devel] SF Mirror

2002-02-18 Thread Mike Sensney

Ibiblio might be a good mirror for LEAF. They just added another terabyte
of storage online, they have a lot of bandwidth, they are Linux friendly,
and they are willing to host .org web sites.
http://www.ibiblio.org/about.html

BTW, both leaf-project.org and leaf-central.org are currently available.
Wouldn't it be neat if LEAF's home page was something like
http://www.leaf-central.org?

Well, I'm off to Seattle again. I'm getting tired of road trips.

If folks think getting a name would be a good idea, I'm willing to pay

Re: [Leaf-devel] ADM Write Protect

2002-02-18 Thread Manfred Schuler

Mike,

I don't own an Apacer ADM. 
I want to buy a Flash-Disk with write protection.

At the moment I'm checking out a M-sys DOC-module on an M-Sys PCI
evaluation  board.

I'll send you information about it ASAP.

Manfred

Well, that's not quite what I had in mind.  For me, I was thinking
more along the lines of:

A distribution developer perhaps runs a script, writes some shell
code, etc. - and creates a "package" (or shell script, really) which
tests for various things.  The script (or scripts) would work within
the LEAF environment...

Then a package creator (or software developer) would run a compilation
of these scripts (which would have some overlap... and which overlap
would be removed...) and it would tell him if his code was compatible
with the environment or not.  These scripts would be available to run
in the LEAF environment, or any environment...

I was thinking more like:

# lrp_pkg_tst.sh requirements.txt
Testing for test -z option... yes
Testing for test -n option... yes
Testing for NFS mount... no
Testing for root.lrp... no
Testing for 1.68M disk... no
Testing for vfat support... no
Testing for iso9660 support... no
Testing for ide support... no
[...etc...]

Summary:
Oxygen support: Ok
Dachstein support: Ok
Bering support: No
