I agree with your assessment. Could a defective CD burn, defective media, or was the original ISO damaged in the download be causing these problems? Can you try a fresh download and burn? >Here is my > syslinux.cfg: > > display syslinux.dpy > timeout 0 > default linux append=load_ramdisk=1 initrd=root.lrp initrd_archive=minix > ramdisk_size=8192 root=/dev/ram0 boot=/dev/fd0u1680,msdos > PKGPATH=/dev/hda:iso9660 > LRP=etc,ramlog,local,ifconfig,modules,dhclient,dhcpd,dnscache,weblet,dhttpd, > dhis,web > > This is from my boot floppy, and it seems that it ignores the additions to > the LRP line. Any suggestions on that one? LRP is the next line after PKGPATH without a blank line? LRP is all on one line without a hard return? I recall reading about a limit on the LRP= line length size. If you shorten the list do all the packages load? I don't know about dhttp,dhis, and web. Could they be conflicting with weblet especially dhttp? Some packages have dependencies.
