RE: [leaf-user] What are syslinux.cfg and/or lrpkg.cfg files ???

2002-07-30 Thread Francois BERGERET

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.

Francois BERGERET.

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

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.

 Hey Erich,
 What do you mean You can start with what's in your syslinux.cfg and
 expand it??? I've looked on my Dachstein CD, and I don't even see a
 syslinux.cfg file! 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.
