Hi, To run LRP in vmware, just split the 1680 floppy into two 1440 floppies. winimage will do most of the work for you but you will need a linux box to syslinux the new 1440 disk. ( or as I have, a ZipSlack running in VMWare :)
Dont forget to update your syslinux.cfg to remove 1680 and to add fd1 boot=/dev/fd0:msdos PKGPATH=/dev/fd0,/dev/fd1 TTFN Antony Briggs -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Richard Amerman Sent: 30 June 2002 00:28 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [leaf-user] A First LEAF Deployment THANKS Hi all! Its time to share! I have only been at this for a few weeks but as some of you may have noticed, I have been drawn in and hope to stay. At first it was simply about replacing my existing Watchguard SOHO with something that had a few more capabilities. I was looking at many Linux based setups, mostly things like Astro and Mandrake Security. When I finally found LEAF somehow I knew I was on to something. Regardless of what I did or found in larger systems I new I had to at least try a LEAF setup. I have now deployed the new firewall in a single step, the only glitch were a few inbound Shorewall rules that had to be tweaked! Everything worked, no problems, and it seems to perform much better. This is what I deployed: LEAF Bering 1.0 RC2 (I plan on updating soon to RC3 but did not have time now) External modem for backup fail over (now done with an ifdown ifup manually but I have a script to automate it that is in progress) Extensive rules for inbound traffic to various web servers, Exchange, SiteScope, VNC, others. I am about to add ssh and VPN soon. I also deployed my modified Weblet with a bunch of changes I have not yet deployed to the Weblet Dev Demo site. It has all been a great success and I thank you all for your support (much of it in the past, mining the list archives is a gold mine!) I look forward to working with all of you as I dig deeper into Weblet and other aspects of LEAF. I tried to setup a dev VMWare image last night but it wasnt until 2AM I realized that it does not support the large floppy format. It looks like it may be UML for me or just one of the small old boxes I have laying about. Thanks!
