Paul, Wow, that's a pretty old version.

The 2.6 kernel is that large, that a runnable _and_ useful floppy version in the way we provided it with the kernel 2.4- based versions is just not possible. It should be possible to create a floppy on your own with the packages to fit your needs (e.g. without the ppp/pppoe stuff if you use dhcp, without an ssh server or whatelse you don't need) . But it won't be doable to create a floppy that runs out of the box with all the packages used by most of the users. Thats the price to moving to a 2.6 based kernel, IMHO. Maybe we create a basic bootable floppy version, where packages can be added... kp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ leaf-devel mailing list leaf-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
