[leaf-user] What are syslinux.cfg and/or lrpkg.cfg files ???
Hi folks, I having a difficult time trying to understand how to set up a VPN with Dachstein CD 1.0.2, but somehow, I think it has to do with the fact that I don't have (at least as far as I can see) either one of these files on my CD. I get the impression that the syslinux.cfg file allows you to specify additional .lrp packages you want to load upon boot-up...is that right? I don't have (at least as far as I can tell) an ipsec.conf file in my /etc directory, and I think it's because I don't have the ipsec.lrp file loading on start-up, and that's because I don't have a syslinux.cfg file with that parameter specified in it...is that right??? I welcome anyone's help and comments as to what these files are for, how do you create them, what do you use them for, any tutorials you're aware of, etc., etc., etc. At this point I would be willing to write a tutorial for people who want to use this feature and want step-by-step instructions if someone will help me figure this out. Thank you, I welcome your comments. Best Regards, Craig --- This sf.net email is sponsored by: Dice - The leading online job board for high-tech professionals.

[leaf-user] What are syslinux.cfg and/or lrpkg.cfg files ???
Hey Erich, I think I now understand (and agree with you) that the purpose of the lrpkg.cfg is to override the CD. But I have not seen ANY documentation on what should be included within it and why. If you know of some instructions, tutorial, etc. I would enjoy seeing it. Thank you. Craig --- This sf.net email is sponsored by: Dice - The leading online job board for high-tech professionals.

RE: [leaf-user] What are syslinux.cfg and/or lrpkg.cfg files ???
Hey Craig, do you have not received my las post for you ? You should read : 9.5. Booting from a CD-Rom with isolinux http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/jnilo/bubooting.html#AEN1120 and this for IPSec http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/jnilo/buipsec.html I hope this could help you. I am playing with IPSec this days, and checking why my 'PLUTO' doesn't discover my ppp0 connexion that I must launch 'by hand'. May be by exchanging our own 'point of vue' and mistakes... Good luck.

Hey Erich, I think I now understand (and agree with you) that the purpose of the lrpkg.cfg is to override the CD. But I have not seen ANY documentation on what should be included within it and why. If you know of some instructions, tutorial, etc. I would enjoy seeing it. Thank you. lrpkg.cfg was created to override the CD or to be able to specify a longer configuration line. In the lrpkg.cfg you write everything ,you would have written in the syslinux.cfg after LRP= you can read something about this file in http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/jnilo/bubooting.html look at the booting from CDRom part.

How do I know if I have one on my CD, how do I find it, and how do I look at it? If I create this infamous lrpkg.cfg file...should I even care about what's in the syslinux.cfg file??? Thanks for your help. I may have this somewhat wrong... I have never used DCD for any real work, but you seem to be thrashing here so I will speak out anyway. Have you googled for any answers to your questions? Bootable CDs incorporate a disk image that the BIOS temporarily treats as drive a: for the purpose of booting. As loaded, the boot image is not located within the visible filesystem, but if I recall correctly there is another copy of the image in the cd filesystem that you can dd onto a floppy disk (presuming you have appropriately formatted the disk). You should care what is in the syslinux.cfg file, because it determines how the system boots and the base complement of packages. If you don't like something in the base complement, you will need to modify a boot floppy that extracts the appropriate selections from the CD and floppy, and optionally create a new CD with an image of that floppy instead of the default. You should read the README file on the CD as well. If you make a floppy disk like this file says, I think you will be able to learn a lot about how Dachstein in general, and thus DCD in particular, boots. --- Jeff NewmillerThe . . Go Live...
