Take care to change syslinux.cfg and leaf.cfg to point to the USB stick instead of the cdrom/floppy. And of course replace initrd.lrp with initrd_usb.lrp which provides the usb modules at boot time (rename the latter to initrd.lrp on your stick). kp > Thanks, > Glenn > > Eric Spakman wrote: > >Hi Glenn, > > > >>Hi, > >> > >> > >>I'm building a couple firewalls mainly for VPN use. > >>*My* current Bering uClibc version is 2.2.x (I think) vintage.
