fli4l documentation - More program packages

3. More program packages

In the meantime there are lots and lots of additional packages for FLI4L available.
These applications are not included in the rootfs, but are written as additional archive opt.tgz to boot floppy disk and installed after boot-up of the router into RAM disk. How this works may be read in file `src/README` .

From version 2.0pre3 a new module concept had been invented. Besides the basic installation (base) there exist one or more OPT packages, which are - on demand - additionally installed.

You will find an overview of these packages in chapter 4.

You won´t be able to write all packages to one floppy disk at the same time. When you do a standard installation of FLI4L, you will have appr. 400 kB free space on your floppy disk (compressed). This area may be used for additional packages.

Here you find a list of programs which can be found in <base> :

    name            description
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    OPT_SYSLOGD     program for protocol generation for system error messages
    OPT_KLOGD       program for protocol generation for kernel error messages
    OPT_Y2K         date correction for non-Y2k-compliant computers
    OPT_PNP         installation of isapnp tools

Since some programs are necessary for severla packages, you may all in all need less space than it is mentioned for each single package (if you find any numbers about space requirements). So: Just try it !
