look.....almost Flash.....
CD running LEAF router, no need floppy at all
I changed Charles's CD (in bootdisk.bin - root.lrp) "linuxrc" like this
if [ -r $MNT/lrpkg.cfg ]; then
ROOTMAP="`sed s/$CR\$// $MNT/lrpkg.cfg`"
else
if [ -r $BOOTDIR/lrpkg.cfg ]; then #<---this
ROOTMAP="`sed s/$CR\$// $BOOTDIR/lrpkg.cfg`" #<--this
else
ROOTMAP="`sed 's/.*LRP=/\1/; s/ .*//1' /proc/cmdline`"
fi
fi
Created lrpkg.cfg in /boot
tar -cvzf root.lrp
insert root.lrp bootdisk.bin
created new iso image
now I can boot my router with cd no more Floppy, it'll read lrpkg.cfg
file from /boot/ heh...plus I still have option to put Floppy if I want
to change any thing, once everything in place ReBurn.
CDRW burn with Nero (3min) isn't this secure / better than Flash ?
That's it
