Brett,
Grab the latest OX off of leaf and use the command
netload.
Read the netload script to get a quick idea of how it
works. I use it to load my packages off the ftp server
on my internal LAN. It's neat.
The only issue is that wu-ftpd tries to do a DNS lookup
on the firewall hostname, and so you need to run ipchains
to add a masq entry for the LAN (if you're masq'ing it).
Something like:
ipchains -A forward -j MASQ -s 10.11.12.0/24
I have a directory ftp://blah.blah/pub/Oxygen/
that has all my .lrp files and the control file called
lrp.conf. In lrp.conf are the filenames of the packages
to load.
You can ftp to my server and look for yourself:
ftp://63.194.213.179:710/pub/Oxygen/
Dave will be around after the weekend. He'll update
you on this if necessary.
Regards,
Matthew
