Everyone,
Should we try to affiliate our project with the rcf project? We are already
affiliated with the Seattle Firewall project. As long as Tom Eastep agrees,
I think this is a good idea. Opinions, comments?
Tom,
Do you have any objections to this?

Food for thought for the underconvinced. I took my current router disk
image, copied all the .lrp files to a temp directory and renamed them to
.tgz, then gunzip'd them and recompressed them with bzip2.
bootbeep.tgz etc.tgzlog.tgz oidentd.tgz root.tgz weblet.tgz
dnscache.tgz local.tg

The CDROM is pretty cleaned up and almost ready.
I'm currently testing a floppy-disk representative of the CDROM boot
image, and am having problems with network loading. I hope to get
this fixed, then test the loading of packages from CDROM, then burn
and release.
