Re: LVS on cd ?

[Mikkel Kruse Johnsen <mkj.its@xxxxxx>]

Hi

I been using my own version of FloppyFW for awhile, with the LVS patch in the kernel and the keepalived and other packages on a cdrom.

When the FloppyFW boots it installes the applications (keepalived, openssl, ipvsadm, etc) onto the system in RAM. So no harddisks is reqired and I can quickly change conf files on the floppy, only have to burn a new CDROM when a new version of the applications comes out. (Updating the kernel is on the floppy as well)

The new FloppyFW uses uClibc and a root_image is on the uclibc homepage, you just "chroot" to the image and gcc, automake, autoconf, etc. is all there so it's easy to add new applications.
