Can't you tunnel http through SSH, zebedee, stunnel, <whatever> ? > Secondly, we need standards first, for files and manifests.

Absolutely, as was Coyote's sloppy that I have a copy of GPL'ed. In regards of this being used on Linux, Win32, Mac, BeOS, Solaris, <whatever> desktops; how do you suggest this be implemented (ie.. tunneled, local disk, web-http, *.exe, *.sh, etc.....)? If done web-http like Coyote's 'sloppy', how do we get the custom image back to the user (ie.... email, http, ftp, etc...)? And how do we run/parse/generate the web-based image if http-web based? I see this to work acceptably if a CD image was provided with _everything_ on it, including the 'preconfig' script and tools for making a floppy, cd, or HD image.

Why not integrate the configuration system into the pre-config system? I see both as being desired, but a pre-config _should_ depend in part on system-config. -- ~Lynn Avants Linux Embedded Firewall Project developer http://leaf.sourceforge.net ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _______________________________________________ leaf-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
