RE: A Bigger Trinux release (long)

[Larry Young]

Antonio,

I am very interested in your distribution.

I have been using Trinux for a dial up router/firewall,
and I hacked at the initrd stuff myself to remove the floppy
stuff and load packages from disk.  I haven't had time to update
it though, so it is very backlevel. I also don't know how to 
compile stuff for it - all of my hacking has been at the 
shell script level. So I've had to do without lots of stuff
(like a perl, which would really be handy).
