Goals of project:
November 13, 2001 My next goals are to
move monkeylrp to the latest kernel and add bzip2 compression as a replacement
to gzip packages. Unfortunately I'm not capable of updating the kernel patchs to
do this. They won't work with anything above 2.4.6 kernel. Volunteers are
welcome. I personally think that bzip2 compression will allow the normal 1.68mb
packages to fit on a 1.44mb floppy.
July 15, 2001 1.68mb image is now
available. This one is an initial non-generic image with SSHD and DHCLIENT
packages. I actually have this one running on my home network. I set it with
a default password of "changeme". IPtables entries are in Network Configuration
(direct). It's set for 192.168.0.100 for the internal ip address. Also I
generated the sshd key on the system. Use the modules-2.4.6.tar.gz to load your
own modules onto the system. Ne2k-pci and 3c509 are the only ones included.
July 7, 2001 LRP patched 2.4.6
modules and kernel available. The 2.4.5 kernel previously posted had problems
with loading the iptables modules. I've also uploaded newer lrp packages matched
with 2.4.6 modules and two floppy disk images with the new stuff. This means you
have to have two floppy drives on your system. Modules.lrp has a 3c509, tlan, ne2kpci, and eepro*
modules.
July 6, 2001 LRP patched 2.4.5
modules and kernel available. bzImage does work. I'll upload a 1.68mb image this
weekend once I can confirm the IPtables modules work. Kernel is UPX compressed.
July 4, 2001 New guide on LRP patching a linux kernel. LRP kernel guide
I should have something ready by
this weekend to get this started. (As in 7/8/02)
2.4.x series kernel
Use UPX compression on kernel to
reduce space.
Use a 1.68mb formatted floppy.
IPTABLES rulebase that can be configured
though a web browser.
Configure server through web browser.
Possibility of using two floppies
until install script is streamlined.
Build packages for portsentry,
watchdog, status (monitor network connections), SSHD, bandwidth management,
vpn support, DNS, DHCP, Linux Virtual Server & more (depending on what
gets done).
