Hi! I have one old laptop (486) with 4MB RAM. I need wireless connnection from this laptop. How can I run LEAF on this laptop? (Make swapp ...)

However, I doubt it is possible to fit any wireless utilities on that small of a '/' ramdisk. If it is possible, you'll likely find it extremely unstable to the point of being unusable. -- ~Lynn Avants Linux Embedded Appliance Firewall Developer http://leaf.sourceforge.net http://guitarlynn.homelinux.org:81 --- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: eBay Great deals on office technology -- on eBay now!

Re: [leaf-user] File downloads using weblet
On Tuesday 10 June 2003 08:56 pm, Lee Kimber wrote: [...] The problem is that the shell script does deliver the file I want but never names it correctly. The script always names the file with the same name as the shell script. Eg, the script is a file called filetest. The file to download is /mnt/hdd/logs.tar.gz When I use any browser (Mozilla on Linux or IE on Windows) to hit http://firewall/cgi-bin/filetest, I get a dialog box prompting me to save the file as filetest. If I save it and open it up, it contains the contents of logs.tar.gz - a gzipped tar. As seen in the code, the echo's aren't being seen in the page code, only the 'cat' command is. You should be able to template one of the existing CGI's to set the tags and have your code interpreted as html code. The content of the shell script are: --- -- #!/bin/sh echo Pragma: no-cache echo Expires: 0 echo Content-Type: application/force-download echo Content-Type: application/download echo Content-Type: application/octet-stream echo Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=logs.tar.gz echo Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary echo cat /mnt/hdd/logs.tar.gz [...] I *think* the problem may be to do with mime types because Mozilla prompts to download a file of type text/plain - the default filetype for Bering weblet, even though the shell script is stating Content-Type: application/octet-stream . It's only seeing the text from the 'cat /mnt/hdd/logs.tar.gz' command. I don't know. Somehow it feels as though I'm almost there. Am I missing something simple here? Yep, the text-to-html part in the existing scripts are likely the missing section, unless you want to echo all the tags/headers/etc... -- ~Lynn Avants Linux Embedded Appliance Firewall Developer http://leaf.sourceforge.net http://guitarlynn.homelinux.org:81 --- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: eBay Great deals on office technology -- on eBay now!

[leaf-user] DHCP on PCMCIA interface?
This is a followup to earlier traffic, shown below. My problem now seems to be the DHCP daemon wants to activate before the PCMCIA card is available, so it cannot find interface eth0. Running dhcpd at the command line promptly fires it up, and activates the interface, and begins serving IP addresses. I think I need to launch dhcpd later in the boot cycle, or the pcmcia earlier, but I haven't had any luck with this. I've read the FAQ, re-read the installation and user guide (somethin like 15th time) and they don't seem to say either. Could someone point me to a successful approach? -Original Message- From: Greg Playle [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 10, 2003 8:14 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject:RE: [leaf-user] Errors--Route through eth0? Richard: I'll be glad to share what I learn as I go, and I planned on sending lessons-learned back to the list / primary producers of LEAF. You pointed me in the right track, but it turned out the 3c589_cs CANNOT be called from within the /etc/modules. Instead, the 3c589 driver needs moved to the /lib/modules/pcmcia, then the pcmcia package backed up. Upon load, the OS automatically loads these modules, in module-dependent order. That got eth0 working, at least from the firewall's view. I'm still checking the eth0 service to make sure I understand what's available / works there.

[leaf-user] How do I create a bootable CF card?
Good Evening all I have recently replaced the CF card in my Openbrick 520E. The new compact flash card is a blank. I have tried several methods to create a bootable bearing partition on it but have had no luck. I can access it thorough a Sandisk card reader and can even transfer files back and forth under Red Hat. However, I'm at a loss as to how to get the Brick to boot from the CF card. Any help would be very much appreciated. Specs: Openbrick 520E, http://www.storever.com 256 RAM, no hard drive, and an exact duplicate replacement 265 MB A-1 Compact Flash Card that came with the unit. Thanks ahead of time.

Re: [leaf-user] How do I create a bootable CF card?
Many combinations do not work. Use DOS6.22 and FDISK that comes with it. You can get a DOS6.22 boot floppy image from www.putergeek.com. syslinux 1.75 works with this. Most problems are due ti fdisk. This combination works sureshot. I've made many copies of syslinux and DOS for such use. Mohan David Nist wrote: Good Evening all I have recently replaced the CF card in my Openbrick 520E.
