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.
I had hoped to be able to use a standard Oxygen floppy as a CDROM boot
image, but that is not the case: CDROM support modules are just too
big (ide-cd.o, cdrom.o, isofs.o) - they add up to about 100k or so.
The only thing I won't be able to do (at least I don't think so) is to
be able to load arbitrary user-chosen packages from CDROM at boot time
- well, somewhat.... maybe...
My next development I think will be to chuck all of the parameters
(LRP=, PKGPATH=, PKGLIST=, ...) in favor of a text-based configuration
file on the disk. This will allow *MUCH* greater flexibility -
including specifying parameters on disk-by-disk basis. I'm pretty
sure this will be AFTER the CDROM is burnt...
Well, see you all later........
