[Trinux-talk] boottrinux.iso and ne2000

[Stefan N. <ste...@fr...>]

Hi,

Trinux is a great concept, being a very small linux which is devoted to =
networking and security.

This is on running trinux within bochs, using an ISO-Image:

The file "boottrinux.iso" work almost fine in this context and can quite =
easily be expanded with other packages.
For some reason though it does not recognize the ne2000-emulation of =
bochs.=20

I set io=3D0x300 and irq=3D3.

The same applies to trinux-80rc2-2.4.5.iso from the webpage =
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/trinux/.

trinux-0.81pre0-2.4.5.iso from the same page does not boot at all, bochs =
just reports an error.

The floppy-versions (boot080pre1.flp and boot071pre1.flp) correctly find =
and configure the ne2000 under the same bochs-configuration.
   =20
Some other linux-distributions also do not recognize the ne2000 but can =
be configured with insmod oder modprobe ne and/or insmod 8390
This also does not seem to work with the trinux-ISO distributions.

Remark: boottrinux.iso is the only ISO-distrbution of trinux that I =
could expand with new packages (by extracting the boot-image, copying =
the files to the harddisk, adding new packages and recreating the =
image). With all the other ISO-files this did not work.=20
For that reason it seems essential for me to specifically use the =
"boottrinux.iso" and get the network working for this file.

Can you give me a hint on how to get the network running?

TIA stn
