Then you have come up with how Debian now installs ..... a set of one or more boot floppies, then 'wget' everything else.

I haven't played with Gentoo, but this sounds very similar to 'ALFS' which is an automated LFS. It compiles on the client box, but we could work around that via CGI/MySQL and everything is done via chroot. Source is available too. The problem I'm seeing is that SF is going to _kill_ us if we start mass compiling kernels on their systems (think of _server_overhead X100 users at a time .... then SCP'ing this traffic back over their connection). Anyone know someone who wants to give up the bandwidth _and_ the processor overhead (with atleast one T!) ? Maybe a thorough set of pre-compiled kernels to select from would be preferrable resource wise. Besides, it will take a while to compile everything including the modules (ie... IPSec [none | pass-through | support]. I love the idea, but this is going to take a _lot_ of server resources to implement. Probably a lot of disk space considering how much traffic this could create over what we have now! -- ~Lynn Avants aka Guitarlynn guitarlynn at users.sourceforge.net http://leaf.sourceforge.net If linux isn't the answer, you've probably got the wrong question! _______________________________________________ Leaf-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
