Hi, On a heavily modified Bering 1.0 ( Nov 2002), isolinug.cfg : ---- display syslinux.dpy timeout 0 default linux initrd=initrd.lrp init=/linuxrc root=/dev/ram0 boot=/dev/cdrom:iso9660 PKGPATH=/dev/cdrom:iso9660,/dev/fd0:msdos LRP=root,etc,local,modules,iptables,pump,keyboard,shorwall,dnscache,weblet -----
