Hi Bob, > So far BU3.0 is good on the WRAP box. To get it up I extracted the 3.0 > floppy image and copied everything to a dos formatted (and syslinuxed) CF > card with a windoze box.

So in the future it should be possible to copy the needed lrp packages together with customized moddb/configdb/leaf.cfg/syslinux.cfg to the storage media and boot. Those customized packages can be provided by users and placed somewhere on the leaf site.
An other nice option of the new config system is that the names of the configdb and moddb packages can be changed. So it should be possible to have different configdb (and moddb) packages and a sylinux.cfg with menu choice. So you can (dual) boot with different config options without changing the standard packages. > Today I noticed "wrap1c.o" in the root of the modules archive. What is > that? Something needed or useful got BU on WRAP? > That module provides very basic control over the 3 led's and can read the status of the button on a PcEngines WRAP platform.
