[Trinux-talk] Trinux-USB Floppy (for USB Drives) Released

[Matthew F. <md...@io...>]

I released a Linux 2.4.26 based boot floppy with USB and SCSI drivers
necessary to load packages from USB drives. Simple create a
\trinux\bootpkg directory on your USB device and add packages.

Downloads available at:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=3301&package_id=118955&release_id=24045

This version of Trinux allows packages to be loaded off a USB Drive. You
will need to add the right kernel module for your network device to
the modules directory on the floppy. Currently the only driver is
Intel EtherExpress Pro 100.

Kernel modules are available at
http://www.speakeasy.org/~mfranz/trinux/modules/2.4.26/

On your USB drive, create a \trinux\bootpkg\ directory and add package
from http://trinux.sf.net/pkg/ to that directory.

At a minimum you will need: dhcpcd.tgz dnslibs.tgz baselib.tgz
term.tgz 



The following is the contents of the boot floppy.
