I got the dachstein cd v1.0.2 working in the last week, it is great ~
Thank-you!

I decided to make the cd stand-alone to work without a config floppy
today. Through some trial and error I got it working, but not without
a couple of questions to ask so it can be a little more functional
than the present state.

Q: The 'bootdisk.bin' image is (after much playing) a dos image of
some type, mountable through a msdos loop. I tried at the start to
use Winimage and mkisofs to make my own image with no avail.
Exactly what are you (Charles) using to make the msdos image?


Q: I can load packages out of the 'syslinux.cfg' file fine up to the
255 character line limit, which is where I'm at now. I noticed that
the cd had a 'lrpkg.cfg' file in the root directory and I went to use
this to bypass the character limit in 'syslinux.cfg', it will not 
override 'syslinux.cfg' on a stand-alone cd like it did with a config
floppy. If it does, I haven't been able to figure out the right 
combination. Can '/lrpkg.cfg' on the cd do this? If so what is the 
proper way of doing it?

My relevent line in 'syslinux.cfg':

default linux append=load_ramdisk=1 initrd=root.lrp 
initrd_archive=minix ramdisk_size=12288 root=/dev/ram0 
boot=/dev/cdrom,iso9660 PKGPATH=/dev/cdrom:iso9660 
LRP=etc,ramlog,local,modules,dhclient,dhcpd,dnscache,weblet,lncurses,vim,ifconfig,lynx,lrdline2,bash,libdb,libm,libpcap,nmap


Again, this is a simply amazing piece of work and I love it. I would
love to get one in a 1U case this week :). Any advice/thoughts would
be appreciated. I'll make a howto on the adventure if anyone would
find anything to make use of in it.

if linux isn't the answer, you've got the wrong question
