 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.
 
 Mike,
 May we add this to our testimonials page?

Re: [leaf-user] Bering uClibc and GRUB

 My grub.conf file looks like this:

 color red/blue yellow/blue
 root (hd0,0)
 timeout 5
 default 0

 # For booting LEAF
 title LEAF Bering uClibc Version 2.2
 kernel BOOT_IMAGE=/linux init=/linuxrc rw root=/dev/ram0 
 LEAFCFG=/dev/hdc1:msdos \
   syst_size=16M log_size=4M PKGPATH=/dev/hdc1:msdos initrd=initrd.lrp \
 LRP=root,etc,log,local,modules,keyboard,iptables,shorwall,dnscache,ulogd,weblet
 # yes, you need the initrd.lrp line twice, once above, and once here
 initrd /initrd.lrp

Just for the record (and for the archives), you can boot
Bering uClibc 2.2 using GRUB with a much cleaner looking setup.

The trick is to reduce the arguments in menu.lst to the absolute
minimum required and move all the other stuff to the system
initialization happening in user space, i.e. into leaf.cfg:

,- [ menu.lst ]
|color red/blue yellow/blue
|root (hd0,0)
|timeout 5
|default 0
|
|title LEAF Bering uClibc Version 2.2
|  kernel /linux init=/linuxrc rw root=/dev/ram0 \
| LEAFCFG=/dev/hdc1:msdos initrd=initrd.lrp
|  initrd /initrd.lrp
`-

Then you put LRP=, syst_size=, log_size=, PKGPATH= into the leaf.cfg
file on the Bering uClibc filesystem. Note that leaf.cfg is a shell
script sourced during startup, so you could do a lot more complex
stuff here if you were so inclined.

,- [ leaf.cfg ]
|syst_size=16M
|log_size=4M
|PKGPATH=/dev/hdc1:msdos 
|LRP=root,etc,log,local,modules,keyboard,iptables,shorwall,dnscache,ulogd,weblet

Gru,

Uli
