You don't say what version and system you are running, but I'm assuming it's not Oxygen since apkg takes care of that for you. If your running any other floppy system, you are probably out of luck. You can avoid this problem with the Dachstein CDrom version by using the lrpkg.cfg file that is the LRP=. line in syslinux.cfg. The format is the same and you can save it on your config floppy. In testing, I have successfully run 26 packages with DCD, so this may be the route you want to take. Charles makes some good notes on using this option and other useful things, that is my suggestion.

Ex. ...weblet,junkbust,libz,lncurses,top,sshd loads upto lncurses and gives an error on loading top, telling me it's trying to load to and the rest is ignored Thanks in advance. syslinux.cfg has a limited length. Switch to Dachstein which allows you to list the programs to load in lrpkg.cfg on the floppy. lrpkg.cfg allows unlimited loading of programs at boot. lrpkg.cfg is just a line of text with the name of each file separated by commas. e.g. etc,local,modules,ramlog,dhcpd,dnscache,weblet,libz,sshd Victor McAllister ___ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
