Re: [leaf-user] Fwd: Does Leaf works on VMWARE
/me taps mike"is this thing on?" ===repost I don't have VMware, but I do have Virtual PC and have some experience with this. First, just rename the bin file to iso, no big deal. Second, does VMware allow the specification of using a floppy image? Virtual PC does, so I point the floppy to the extracted bootdisk.ima and the CD to the ISO image and it's all good. When you save the configuration, it'll add the db files to the bootdisk.ima file. When you want to burn a CD, I extract the files from the ISO, putting them in a folder called LEAF. I rename the original bootdisk.ima file to bootdisk.ima.original. Then I fire up Nero or Roxio and make a bootable CD using my modified bootdisk.ima file for the floppy image. This makes configuring the system so much easier than doing it onsite with the customer breathing over you.

Re: [leaf-user] Does Leaf works on VMWARE
The bootdisk image file will not work on VMWare because VMWare chokes on the odd floppy size. What I do to get this working: 1. Create new Linux VM with a small hard disk. 2. Boot to DOS floppy with syslinux/fdisk/format on it. Create DOS partition, format it, syslinux it. 3. Boot with a network boot disk (ie. Bart's) and copy the contents of the boot floppy and the initrd.lrp with hard disk support in it (available from http://leaf.cvs.sourceforge.net/leaf/bin/packages/uclibc-0.9/28/initrd_ide.l rp?view=log.) Also, this would be a good time to get the pcnet32.o, mii.o, and crc32.o module files copied (the latter two are probably included in the distribution). 4. Modify leaf.cfg: PKGPATH="/dev/hda1:msdos" 5. Modify syslinux.cfg: default linux initrd=initrd.lrp init=/linuxrc rw root=/dev/ram0 LEAFCFG=/dev/hda1:msdos Boot it up and start configuring -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of M Lu Sent: Monday, January 29, 2007 6:27 PM To: ram; leaf-user@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [leaf-user] Does Leaf works on VMWARE Try to get the bootdisk.ima from the ISO and tell your VMWare to boot from that floppy image.

If you are using ipppd it could be necessary to set the "ms-get-dns" option, but I'm not sure about it.

So...since packages no longer own particular config files (i.e. the config data is stored in a single location, regardless of the package/s that requires it) could a *menu option* be added to p9100.lrp, pptp.lrp and whatever other packages are known to be impacted by hosts.allow, that permits editing of the hosts.allow file?.

Re: [leaf-user] Bering uClibc 3.0, PPTPD and Shorewall
Actually, if I remember correctly, the tcp wrapper library can check a directory in etc as well, so a package like p9100 could create an /etc/hosts.allow.d/p9100 file (don't recall the exact path). Frankly, though, tcpwrappers is really obsolete and redundant. I realize that some folks wouldn't use ipfilter, but almost everyone else does. Why have tcpwrappers and ipfilter. Make the default to allow.
