When you login to your router (root) you will see a menu. This menu is a script called lrcfg. You can exit the menu (q) and get back into it by typing lrcfg. You can edit the modules by 3 <enter> 2 <enter> 1 <enter> uncomment or add the nic module names as necessary. Remember the NIC modules are on the CD so there is no need to move them as they are loaded into memory from the CD. When you are finished editing, <ctrl>q <y> will save the file to memory. Edit the configuration files the same way 1 <enter> 1 <enter> from the beginning of the lrcfg menu. backing up is a little more complex. I assume since you are booting from the CD. Just put a blank 1.44 formated (DOS) diskette in the drive. from lrcfg type b to go to the backup section You backup each program (except root, ramlog, libz and local) which do not normally need to be backed up. d 2 will ask you where you want to backup etc. Choose fd0 t 2 will set what kind of backup. Choose partial. b 2 will backup etc to the floppy. Do the same for all the other programs. dnscache, modules, dhcpd, sshd if you make any changes to these. This is a one time process. Once you select your backup type it will be remembered if you backup before rebooting. The partial backup only writes the configuration files to the floppy (less space - easy to upgrade this way).. If you want to edit files from the command prompt you can type ae /etc/network.conf or whatever file you wish to edit. The editor has a help menu for help on such things as block cut and paste etc. _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
