Re: [leaf-user] lets talk about something--anything!
Hello cpu, That would be nice but I don't think a 'small' script would be enough and we really don't have the time to create such an installer. But if someone on this list can create a generic installer, independent of a specific Bering(-uClibc) version which can be used on both linux and Windows, that would be interesting. Eric Eric, I understand, but a small installation script could solve these problems. -cpu Eric Spakman wrote: 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 __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: [leaf-user] lets talk about something--anything!
Ciprian, snip also i don't understand the logic in having syslinux.cfg and leaf.cfg, i presume that leaf.cfg loads after the root remount. Syslinux.cfg is the bootloader config file, which is needed for booting to be possible (same as grub or lilo configuration). The config file is limited in options and possibilites, that's why the leaf.cfg file is also used to do the things that aren't possible in a bootloader config file.

RE: [leaf-user] lets talk about something--anything!
Hello James, Another feature we're looking at adding is multicast routing across VPN tunnels. This will allow mDNS and other zero conf stuff to work across our big net and switch on iTunes sharing between our subnets. I think. :S That all seems still very bleeding edge in Linux. Is there an mrouted.lrp about? There is no mrouted package, it also wouldn't be very helpful because mrouted is not enabled in the kernel config. I won't call it very bleeding edge, the last mroute source update is from around 2001 ;-) Eric Spakman --- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

Re: [leaf-user] lets talk about something--anything!
Hello cpu, Anyhow, I feel that lrcfg is in need of a major overhaul. Im sure many will disagree, but, you cant start/stop services from within lrcfg. That would be a nice addition. And it would be nice to be able to save a package while in a package menu (incidentally, I added this capability :). Why not share your work with the community ;-) Another problem with lrcfg is that once you have more than 20 config options they scroll off the screen. True, that's becoming an issue with the shorwall package. Someone having a solution for it? Eric Spakman --- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

Hello Charles, | |Anyhow, I feel that lrcfg is in need of a major overhaul. I?m sure many |will disagree, but, you can?t start/stop services from within lrcfg. | | That would be a nice addition. There's the command-line svi, but you can't call this while inside lrcfg. Indeed. Just adding an other option to lrcfg (to call svi with the right init.d file) is also a difficult option. You can't predict what the exact name of the script is and you don't even know if the package even contain a daemon or init script. The webconf package has such an option and some code to find the correct init script. Maybe it can be borrowed from there. |And it would be nice to be able to save a package while in a package |menu (incidentally, I added this capability :). | | Why not share your work with the community ;-) This does sound handy. |Another problem with |lrcfg is that once you have more than 20 config options they scroll off |the screen. | | True, that's becoming an issue with the shorwall package. Someone having a solution for it? I use ssh, and just drag the window to a larger size. :-) Me too ;-) But I can imagine that for initial setup it can be handy, although setting up ssh (dropbear) is the first thing I do.

The 'vga' kernel option isn't available in the Bering(-uClibc) kernels anymore, both because of size and there isn't a real need if one is using ssh. So the 'issue' is mainly cosmetical.

[leaf-user] Bering uClib 2.3-beta 4
I am testing out the new beta 4 version of Bering uClib 2.3. I am trying to install it on a HD and trying to follow: http://leaf.sourceforge.net/doc/guide/bucu-ide.html Here are some notes I made: 1. It says to replace initrd.lrp with initrd_ide_cd.lrp.there is not enough room on the floppy...what is safe to delete ? 2. There is a typo lprkg should be lrpkg 3. It talks about floppies alotIsn't there an easier way to copy the iso image onto a HD ? If so, might this feature make it into the final release ? -Thanks Steve More --- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
