Partition type 'fd' is what you should use for raid partitions, it just doesn't show up in the options list because the fdisk binary for Dachstin is pretty dated. You can still enter partition type 'fd', which your fdisk will just list as 'unknown' (and newer versions will list as raid autodetect).

Re: [leaf-user] Upgrading packages (was Shorewall 1.4 - 2.0.9)
Thanks for the help. That got me going. I'm ugrading to Bering uClib 2.2.2 on a CF card and Soekris 4801. The system boots fine and comes up, but fails in loading the natsemi.o module with unresolved symbols. I've normally seen this with a module built from a different kernel. I've done a diff of natsemi.o in modules.lrp that came with the distribuiton with the one in the 2.4.26 modules tar ball and it shows no difference. All the other modules load fine.

The 'partial' backups seem to be the ideal way to upgrade but it appears that they will overwrite the existing lrp on the CF, which is why the note below suggests using a 2nd xfer floppy for saving the configs. My question is, if I scp all the files contained in each /var/lib/lrpkg/package.conf, to another computer, then replace by CF disk with the new version of bering leaf, boot with the default configuration, and restore the files I scp'd back to the new system, will I then have upgraded and maintained my current configuration? If there was a way to save the config files via a 'partial backup' to a separate directory, that would be nice. You can 'cheat' (which I do frequently :-) Just setup to do a partial backup of the packages you're interested in. When the backup screen comes up to ask you if there's enough space, don't type anything yet...instead, go to a different console or machine, and scp the newly created partial backup (with all your configuration files!) from /tmp on the LEAF box to anywhere that's a handy temporary file location. Once you've got the partial backup package copied elsewhere, answer 'n' to the 'Is there enough space?' question, to abort the backup (or you'll overwrite your full LRP file on the CF disk). Now you can upgrade the packages on your CF disk, reboot, and manually 'merge' the configuration data with your running system (ie: copy the partial LRP's to /tmp, cd to / and untar each partial lrp file, which will overwrite the default configuration files in the upgraded LRPs). NOTE: If you're upgrading something that affects networking (like etc or shorwall), you'll probably need access to the partial LRP files before networking is properly configured. In this case, you can just copy the partial LRP files to your CF disk, renaming them in the process (ie: etc.cfg or similar). You might want to do this anyway, rather than scp the files to another host. As it is, it looks like I should create my CF disk with a second file system on it just for the purpose of 'partial backups'.

Haven't been around here for a while, but I'm back to playing with LEAF distros again after a 2-year hiatus. I noted that WISP-DIST became part of LEAF, and I am interested in building a cheap access point/firewall. The firewall part is easy, but I'm having trouble finding a comprehensive (read exhaustive) set of instructions, FAQ, How-to, or the like on getting a DWL-520 (E-series) to work in a LEAF distro. Most of the instructions are centered around full-blown distros, and assume that I can compile kernels, user-mode apps, etc, on the machine that the card will be installed in. I can manage it in time, I think, and if I have to slog through the process of mating all the steps, I will (and I'll write a how-to, if there isn't one), but I'm hoping I don't need to. If anyone can provide pointers to documentation on creating a wisp distro that supports the D-Link DWL-520 E1, I'd appreciate it. If not, then Expect a how-to from me sometime next month ;) Adrian P.S. If you didn't already hear about it, H. P.

I started using LRP w/the first version of eigerstein, and used to follow the list back before the big fallout with lrp. The names are remember from years ago: Charles -- I never did catch you on Robot Wars :-( ; Jack Coates and MonkeyNoodle for dinner, Tom Eastep, Ray Olszewski, Jeff Newmiller, Mike Noyes, George Metz, Matt Schalit, and even Dave Cinege inspired people to participate. I know I answered a few questions when I could, but alas, I'm not a developer, so I cannot contribute at the level I'd like to. I have been amazed at your dedication to the betterment of the community and appreciated when those of you who did took a stand to keep LRP pure and out of politics. I've watched the development of all the branches and saw new names take on leadership roles (David Douthitt, Jacques Nilo, Eric Wolzak, and so many others)...I very much appreciate that all of you take time out of your lives to develop this product and to teach us how to use it.
