RE: [Leaf-user] Breaking the 255 byte barrier
It can't be as simple as putting ...LRP=/dev/hda1/lrpkg.cfg in the syslinux.cfg. Or can it? No, it's actually simpler :) If a file with the name lrpkg.cfg is found on your boot= device, the contents of that file replace the LRP= portion of the kernel command line. Charles - Thanks for the quick answer! It really was just that simple a testimony to the power of proper programming! regards! paul Paul M.

Re: [Leaf-user] Breaking the 255 byte barrier
Thanks! I did look at the DCD image to see how it was done but in the ISO image, the syslinux.cfg file has the packages listed out and the lrpkg.cfg has that same information so I'm not clear on the syntax to make the program look for the list of packages in the lrpkg.cfg file. That's the point where I'm stuck. It can't be as simple as putting ...LRP=/dev/hda1/lrpkg.cfg in the syslinux.cfg. Or can it? No, it's actually simpler :) There is currently no need (or mechanism) for specifying an lrpkg.cfg file. If a file with the name lrpkg.cfg is found on your boot= device, the contents of that file replace the LRP= portion of the kernel command line. Make sure you have your boot package devices setup properly. For a flash disk, you probably want: - boot= device is you flash drive - PKGPATH= empty - Remember to do full backups!

Re: [Leaf-user] Breaking the 255 byte barrier
How about using the file lrpkg.cfg according to the DCD format. Not a lot of difference between a CD and a flash other than R/W. lrpkg.cfg has no limit. It is is just a text line containing everything from syslinux.cfg after the LRP= it could look like this etc,local,modules,ramlog,dhcpd,lbiz,sshd,,ifconfig,ipsec,ipsec509,weblet,psentry If you want a file to load from the floppy instead of the flash use something like libz:R Paul M.
