The only thing I could possibly agree with you is the documentation, it is way too technical for most users BUT, the answers are all there.

Re: [leaf-user] lets talk about something--anything!
Hello Cpu, 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) That's true, but one should always use the base (floppy) image as starting point. The image contains all the packages needed for a complete router/firewall. Most other packages are not for the average n00b ;-) 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. It would be nice if that was possible, but unfortuanatly like Luis told, it's not that easy. For example, we don't know which device is the bootdevice, hda1, hdb1, something else? In my case it's hdc1. So editing leaf.cfg and syslinux.cfg is still needed. An other problem is how to put the image on the CF, with 'dd'? That's really a strange UNIX command. I'm also not sure if the size of the image must be the same as the CF size. Eric --- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

Re: [leaf-user] lets talk about something--anything!
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.
