This a would be worthwhile.
A couple of requests.
1. It would be useful to integrate one the extended scripts unto
DachStein. (You probably already thought of this :-)
I have been running a local network based on EigerStein, which
works almost perfectly for me out of the box (DHCP on eth0 for a
DSL line, dhcp on the internal network from 192.168.1.1 to .199
and static IP's on the internal network from 192.168.1.200 to .253.
I decided to move my simple-minded web site from my LRP box to
a machine in a DMZ hanging off the LRP box, so I decided to use
the extended scripts.
First I migrated from EigerStein to EigerStein2beta, then I added
the network.conf, network, and ipfilter.conf from the CD, and
modified the various variable values to work exactly like
EigerStein2Beta before I added the DMZ.
So it would be nice for DachStein to be EigerStein2beta workalike
(e.g. with the network defaults as I mentioned above) with the
added functionality of the extended scripts already in there in case
the user decided he or she needed them.
2. One irritation it would be nice to fix (though it may go beyond the
"quick upgrade to EigerStein2Beta philosophy) would be to
somehow extend the 256 character limit of the syslinux.cfg
APPEND= line. When I add a second drive to PKGPATH and add
serial support, I'm over the limit. I can't do both. (I recall that David
did something in Oxygen to get around this.)
Finally, a quick question. If all I want to do is add a simple DMZ to
my EigerStein2Beta network via a third ethernet board for a web
server at the public IP of the LRP box (which is using dhcp), which
is better:
1. upgrade to the extended scripts 1.0
2. upgrade to the extended scripts 1.1
3. upgrade to the CD scripts
It looks to me like the extended scripts 1.0 have enough
functionality, but it also looks to me like the DHCP section in those
scripts doesn't have improvements you added to EigerStein2Beta.
If I recall correctly, bothe extended scripts 1.1 and the CD scripts
have the newer DHCP code. But I could easily just paste that
section into network.conf from scripts 1.0. As near as I can tell
that's the only issue.
I don't mind the time I am expending fooling around in the upgrade
process, I'm learning a lot :)
