Jacques, Eric: Every now and then, the 255 character limit of the kernel comes up. Checking out the documentation, the description of lrpkg.cfg seems only to appear in the "boot from CDROM" section, a section that many people won't read as it doesn't apply to them. PLUS it implies that the 255 character limit is an isolinux.cfg limitation, which isn't true, it's a kernel limitation (AFAIK)
I suggest adding a reference to lrpkg.cfg to section 6.2 "Edit the syslinux.cfg file" of the installation guide along the lines of: <PROPOSED CHANGE to Bering installation guide section 6.2> You can also write the list of packages to a file with the name "lrpkg.cfg" in the floppy root, i.e. in the same directory as syslinux.cfg. If that file is present, the packages listed in the file will be loaded instead of those listed in the LRP= list. Thus you get the same effect as in the default syslinux.cfg file by writing display syslinux.dpy timeout 0 default linux initrd=initrd.lrp init=/linuxrc rw root=/dev/ram0 \ boot=/dev/fd0u1680:msdos PKGPATH=/dev/fd0u1680 to syslinux.cfg and root,etc,local,modules,iptables,pump,keyboard,shorwall,ulogd,dnscache,weblet To lrpkg.cfg. This can help you get around the 255 character limit of the kernel command line. For a complete description of lrpkg.cfg and its syntax, see <link = /bubooting.html#id2892001> section 11.5 of the user's guide </PROPOSED CHANGE> - Alex ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: VM Ware With VMware you can run multiple operating systems on a single machine.
