I don't run them very often, but occasionally they come in real handy
for stuff like this.

Assuming YOU haven't picked up that accent by living there.  :-)

I get free night (after 9PM) and weekend minutes & long distance on my
cell phone.  Other than that, charges apply on my phones.  (unless I was
to stay late and call at 5:00PM from work :)

If you want, I can probably do this.  I have written several technology
white papers before.  I would just need to know about how long you would
want it, and if there were any features you wanted highlighted.  (For

I thought I saw one come across awhile back when I was updating from
CVS, but I don't remember which one, and can't find it now.  Maybe the
help was added at a different time.  I should have said something at the

Either one is fairly easy to install and get working.

OK, no problem.

Along the line of promoting the new release, I know a OSDN developer
(slashdot.com, newsforge.com, linux.com, ...) from our LUG, who might
help me get an article posted when the new release comes out.  That's if
someone was to write such an article.  I'd be willing to give it a try,
along with your help.  Unless you wanted to write it.

Check if you see this in the BIOS-Setup of VMWare.
If you can't make it show up in the boot order (before probably needs t=

I'll have to see if I have any hardware that supports USB booting.

I'd prefer a one line per software summary like we have now.
Some of the help files are too verbose for this (IMO).

Plus, we might miss some software that is not selectable in menuconfig.

Maybe we should start with a "ls -1 src/", and add a little description
to each line?  (and delete the base/extra stuff)

I added the new "custom-cd" in  scripts/scripts/  and installed it in
the "make dist".  I also put it on the CDROM in the (new)
/config/scripts/  directory.

I'll take a look at that documentation when I get a little more time.

Right now, I commented the beginning of the script.  
Hopefully it makes sense ...

I created a new ISO image, adding a etc.tar.bz2 file in the root
directory of the CDROM.  It boots fine in VMware 4 with the floppy and
USB options turned off.

What is Clam AntiVirus ?



Clam AntiVirus is an anti-virus toolkit for UNIX. The

main purpose of this software is the integration with

mail servers (attachment scanning). The package

provides a flexible and scalable multi-threaded daemon,

a command line scanner, and a tool for automatic

updating via Internet. The programs are based on a

shared library distributed with the Clam AntiVirus

package, which you can use with your own software. The

virus database is based on the virus database from

OpenAntiVirus, but contains additional signatures

(including signatures for popular polymorphic viruses,

too) and is KEPT UP TO DATE.

We should finish some functionality by then (e.g. USB boot), to impress 
them even more.

Nothing so far.
I was thinking if it would make sence, to export the descriptions from 
"make menuconfig". Most of the needed information is included, we could 
also add this file to CD *and* our website.

You mentioned a good point, we should start creating the updated

First off all you need the Morphon XML Editor (www.morphon.com) which is 
free (now).
Then you find the files in build/docs/documentation. The only file you 
need to edit is documentation.xml .
It takes a little bit to get used to it, but then it's easy. Just take a

[Devil-linux-develop] DL promotions.

[Bruce S. <bw...@ar...>]

Three weeks from today, I'm giving a presentation on DL to my local
Linux Users Group.  http://kalamazoolinux.org/

My main objective is to convince some of the floppyfw/ipcop/... users in
the audience to try DL.  My plan is to show how easy it is to setup a
basic DL firewall with minimal hardware and the new setup script.

Another good selling point is the vast range of software included in the
distribution. Is there a list somewhere of the included packages in the
new release? Something like http://www.devil-linux.org/introduction.htm 
would be great!  Has it been written yet?

Any other suggestions of what to demonstrate would be appreciated.

Ah OK.  The "make dist" tar file.  I see now!   :-)

I never touched that before.  Care to point me to the right directory?

No, I meant: devil-linux-0.6Beta1-2003-08-23-i586-SMP.tar.bz2

Would be nice.
You should add it to our documentation.

You mean:  "if it's not broken, don't fix it"?
Good thinking!  ;-)

OK

Tar file?  The etc.tar.bz2?  That seems like a waste of memory,
since it can't be run in DL.

How about I put it somewhere under the /cdrom/config/ directory?
Also easier for someone to run it under their normal distro
(not having to untar the etc file).

I probably should write some instructions for it too ...  :-)

My suggestion:
Put it in build/scripts/scripts
"make dist" should put it into a separate directory in the tar-file 
(i.e. scripts).
