[leaf-user] package remote install

[Erich T. <eri...@th...>]

Hi everybody

I uploaded the package remote install scripts to  my CVS repository under

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/leaf/devel/etitl/bering

In order to use it you need rload.lrp from the packages directory.=20
Additionally you will need to patch /etc/lrp.conf and /etc/init.d/modutil=
s.=20
The patches can be found in the respective directories in my CVS path abo=
ve=20
(or will be found as soon as CVS gets updated). After installing rload.lr=
p=20
and applying the patches to /etc/lrp.conf and /etc/init.d/modutils=20
respectively you can configure rload using the parameters in /etc/lrp.con=
f.=20
The patch to lrp.conf shows an example using wget to fetch the packages=20
from a host on the internal network.

You will have to install your network drivers in /boot/lib/modules and=20
declare them in /boot/etc/modules as illustrated in=20
http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/jnilo/biaddrm.html#AEN772

This allows you to run a LEAF box on a single floppy and still have many=20
packages loadable. Probably even a 1.44 MB floppy should be sufficient.

Let me know if anything is unclear and have fun

Erich
