It's been a *LONG* time since I looked at the diskwait code, but IIRC, the functionality you're describing is what it was setup to do (ie: load the kernel and initial ramdisk (AKA: root.lrp) from the first floppy, then load packages from the second disk). I don't think anyone's implemented support for what you seem to want (ie: load some packages off the first disk, then wait for a diskchange and load more packages). It ought to be fairly easy to implement, however, with a "fake" package name that caused the init scripts to wait for you to swap disks. You'd have to manually insure proper package order in syslinux/leaf.cfg. Make sure you unmount (and re-mount) the floppy before asking the user to swap it, however! - -- Charles Steinkuehler [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEjXthLywbqEHdNFwRAnByAJ4+6B/hd0fa9CZI6AnCFBO4OHukUQCg3Xfx ceGe9R2u2SBzZpyn/TEbs2k= =u3Qa -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user Support Request -- http://leaf-project.org/
