Good question :) Thought kmaps and timezones are only relevant to users outside US, and therefor they need timezones as well as kmaps... And at least dachstein still has the syslinux commandline limitation.... But packaging timezones in a separate package makes it easy. > > > In a CD-based environment I'd like to see rdate being > > replaced by xntpd, or ntp4, due to security.

I vaguely remember rdate as a security threat, and therefor switched to xntpd from Todd Horsman. > > I think ntp4 would be overkill, especially as it's not designed for > dialup connections.

I might be wrong, but it seems nptdate provides only the client side - I'm interested to have the router providing timeservice to the lan - given the current setup, that it is permanently connected to the net. For dialup connections rdate, or chrony as noted by Nathan Angelacos, might be a better choice. Get back, where the discussion started - at least for ntp we need a timezones package. I'm willing to make a package - but I'm currently under the impression something is missing for a complete internationalization support (console fonts????) > Also, I'm still committed to a floppy-only distribution - which means > internationalization would have to be tight on space. keyboard.lrp is actuatly 2.9 kb, a new kmap adds 200bytes. timezones are probably the same size. Small enough for a floppy. I'm more concerned if future kernels and the move to glibc 2.1.3 will still allow a _valuable_ floppy distro. But that's another thread about the lack of standard hardware bigger than a floppy and smaller than a CD. kp _______________________________________________ Leaf-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
