Dear list, Now setting up a Bering CD using Charles Steinkuehler's image at http://lrp2.steinkuehler.net/files/diskimages/Bering-CD/
This may not be the usual path, but I am trying to streamline things by avoiding a floppy disk in the loop. I would like to edit syslinux config from the CD to load the appropriate lrps. Also I would like to create my own modules.lrp, which I understand is just a gzipped tarball.
So, two questions 1) Is there an equivalent of syslinux.cfg for the CD image? I opened this CD image in WinImage but no syslinux.cfg
The syslinux.cfg file is 'hidden' in the boot-disk image on the CD-ROM, but a duplicate (bootdisk.bin) can be found in the root of the CD (just mount it with the -o loop option, or on 'doze, extract it and open with winimage). If you *REALLY* want to modify the syslinux.cfg file on the CD boot image, copy all the CD files somewhere on a handy linux system, mount the bootdisk.bin file and edit as required, then use the mkisofs command (see the readme file on the CD for details) to make a new CD image.
Note that a lot of work has gone into making editing syslinux.cfg unnecessary, as you can now modify everything from the root ramdisk size to the packages loaded via settings in LEAF.CFG on a configuration disk (defaults to /dev/fd0).
2) Is there a good utility for creating a .lrp, apart from simply tarring and gziping? Any recommended parameter settings for the tar utility?
The lrp backup scripts are probably the best utility for handling package creation if you don't want to use tar and gzip at the command line.
