LEAF Linux Embedded Appliance Framework

Under every version of bering (or any other distribution of linux) I've 
used, the screen will go blank after X amount of time.  For the purposes 
of seeing stats and risking screen burn-in, how does one turn this off?

Thank you.

Members of the LEAF crew release pxeinstall.tgz today, December 6th 2003.

Based on the work of Eric de Thouars (dorus@...) we created a tool to 
make use of PXE to boot systems like a Soekris net4501 or a LexSystem (tested 
with a CV860A version) so that you can format an IDE HD or a CF card, put an 
msdos file system and syslinux on the IDE/HD or CF card and finally copy all 
files necessary for a Bering(-uClibc) system on the storage device.

You can download pxeinstall.tgz directly from cvs (one line): 
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/leaf/bin/packages/nolibc/
pxeinstall.tgz?rev=HEAD&content-type=application/octet-stream


With the functionality of pxeinstall.tgz you can:
- boot the system via the network,
- put a number of different file systems on the HD/CF card (minix, ext2, swap, 
msdos),
- make the HD/CF card bootable (syslinux) 
- download files onto the card/HD via http or ftp (wget) or
- download files onto the card/HD via Windows networking (smbmount and cp)

Please note:
The PXE boot functionality can only be used to get a system up and running, it 
is not intended to be used for regular use. For example, you cannot backup 
any files because the backup function does not exist.

It can be used to install any LEAF distribution onto your HD/CF.

It requires a special Linux kernel config and the supported NIC's compiled 
into kernel - NIC modules won't work.

The currently supported NIC's are:
3c590/3c900 series (592/595/597) "Vortex/Boomerang"
AT1700/1720
AMD PCnet32 PCI
DECchip Tulip (dc21x4x) PCI
EtherExpressPro/100
National Semiconductor DP8381x series PCI Ethernet
PCI NE2000 and clones
RealTek RTL-8139 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter
SMC EtherPower II
VIA Rhine
Winbond W89c840 EthernetI

If you need support for a network card other than the above listed, we added a 
kernel config for use with Linux Kernel 2.4.18 as a starting point in the 
tgz.

thx for reading kp

The shorewall set up should work fine....

Try
telnet myserver.whatever.dom 90 from inside your firewall?

This should work in any case and would show that your connection is working=
=20
at all.
Then try your homegrown program from the inside....

Has anyone had an luck in running the updated version of hostap on Bering?

I have it runnign here at version 0.2 and its great apart from it cacking
out with large sustained local tranfers at full ethernet speed. Anything
like 20MB or more, but I strongly suspect the WL200 firmware more than
hostap, but it would be nice all the same to upgrade to the latest. I am
trying to get firmware 1.5.

Regards to all who make this possible, great work everyone.
