Hello Mohan, Erich, Charles and other The "early package " system can be changed ofcourse, but don't forget that the syslinux.cfg brings more information than just what packages to load. It defines the boot and Package load medium. System size and so on. The actual linuxrc (also under Bering) is so made that it still is backward compatible but with the options Charles introduced to override the syslinux.cfg settings with a file on the boot medium for package loading etc.
one suggestion was something like: can't we "always load root,etc, lib" and indicate only the rest. Ofcourse one could do that but the system with loading additional packages from a backup medium is more flexible Example : you boot from CD and wants only a different setting for /etc/networking/interfaces or another busybox. In that case you just need a disk with a backed up root with only those files. I agree that it can be done, linuxrc can be made more lean also (as functions now exist ) that weren't available as the lrp project started. But I think it would be better to evaluate first the question: 1. do we want to stay with this packages system 2. what other means of package loading is necessary ( for example something like apt-get ) my 2 Euro cent ;) Eric Wolzak member of the Bering Crew. -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: S Mohan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> An: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Datum: Mittwoch, 16.
