[leaf-user] iso for Bering uClibc
I really like the documentation that is included on the Dachstein iso. The README.txt contains items specific to the CD-ROM. It has detailed configuration based on 1 of 3 setups: - Your system won't boot off a CD-Rom at all - Your system boots off a CD, but not if there's a floppy disk inserted - Your system boots off a CD, even if you've got a floppy disk loaded I have looked for the equivalent documentation for Bering uClibc but have not found it. Is this information available somewhere ? I am booting off the CD, but I can't seem to get other packages to load. Dachstein used a pkgpath.cfg file on floppy, what do I use for Bering uClibc ? -Thanks Steve More --- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

Re: [leaf-user] iso for Bering uClibc
Assuming you use recent Bering-U, boot from CDROM but use floppy to specify what you want to load, then you can use leaf.cfg on the floppy to specify them (the LRP variable). Here is a sample /root> more leaf.cfg # Other variables you might want to set in this file include: # LRP Packages to load # PKGPATH Device(s) to load packages from # syst_size Size of root ramdisk # tmp_size Size of /tmp ramdisk # log_size Size of /var/log ramdisk LRP="root,config,etc,local,modules,iptables,dhcpcd,ulogd,shorwall,dnscache,dropbear,weblet, sh-httpd,dhcpd,libm,libpcap,daemontl,libssl,libcrpto, liblzo,openvpnz" PKGPATH="/dev/fd0:msdos,/dev/cdrom:iso9660" - Original Message - From: "Stephen More" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Wednesday, July 06, 2005 10:15 PM Subject: [leaf-user] iso for Bering uClibc I am booting off the CD, but I can't seem to get other packages to load.

Re: [leaf-user] iso for Bering uClibc
Here is my problem... I can boot from the floppy generated by Bering-uClibc_2.3-beta4_img_bering-uclibc-1680.exe, and all 15 packages from the floppy are loaded. Therefore I am assuming the leaf.cfg on the floppy is good. Now if I insert the CD-ROM, leave the same floppy in and reboot, all 15 packages should get loaded, but this is not happening only 5 packages are loaded. I have tried this with both 2.3-beta4.iso and 2.2.2.iso. What step am I missing ?

Re: [leaf-user] iso for Bering uClibc
The floppy you used is 1680K and the path pointing to that is '/dev/fd0u1680:msdos'. When you boot from CD, the path is '/dev/fd0:msdos,/dev/cdrom:iso9660' so your leaf.cfg on your floppy is not found and the leaf.cfg on CD (actually from the boot.ima) is used. In this case only 'root,config,etc,local' are loaded. Anyway, take a blank 1.44 floppy and copy the leaf.cfg from your 1680 floppy. Remember to change the PKGPATH="/dev/fd0u1680:msdos" to PKGPATH="/dev/fd0:msdos,/dev/cdrom:iso9660" - Original Message - From: "Stephen More" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "M Lu" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: Sent: Thursday, July 07, 2005 7:28 AM Subject: Re: [leaf-user] iso for Bering uClibc Here is my problem...

Would it be possible to make the path on the CD ''/dev/fd0u1680:msdos,/dev/fd0:msdos,/dev/cdrom:iso9660' ??? > Anyway, take a blank 1.44 floppy and copy the leaf.cfg from your 1680 > floppy.
