[KP Kirchdoerfer-2]

Eric Spakman has updated pxeinstall tgz.

From the changelog:
- upgrade to kernel 2.4.32
- various programs updated
- cleanups and bugfixes
- new: support for pcengines WRAP


pxeinstall.tgz prupgrade to kernel 2.4.32,
various programs updated,
some cleanups and bugfixes
plus support for pcengines WRAPovides a tool to make use of PXE to boot
systems like Soekris net4501, LexSystem or WRAP so that you can format an IDE
HD or a CF card, put an msdos file system and syslinux on the IDE/HD or CF
card and finally copy all files necessary for a Bering(-uClibc) system on the
storage device.

You can download pxeinstall.tgz from our package repository
http://leaf.sourceforge.net/packages/nolibc/pxeinstall.tgz


With the functionality of pxeinstall.tgz you can:
- boot the system via the network,
- put a number of different file systems on the HD/CF card (minix, ext2, swap,
msdos),
- make the HD/CF card bootable (syslinux)
 -download files onto the card/HD via http or ftp (wget) or
download files onto the card/HD via Windows networking (smbmount and cp)

Note: The PXE boot functionality can only be used to get a system up and
running, it is not intended to be used for regular use. For example, you
cannot backup any files because the backup function does not exist.
It can be used to install any LEAF distribution onto your HD/CF.
It requires a special Linux kernel config and the supported NIC's compiled
into kernel - NIC modules won't work. The currently supported NIC's are:

3c590/3c900 series (592/595/597) Vortex/Boomerang
AT1700/1720
AMD PCnet32 PCI
DECchip Tulip (dc21x4x) PCI
EtherExpressPro/100
National Semiconductor DP8381x series PCI Ethernet
PCI NE2000 and clones
RealTek RTL-8139 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter
SMC EtherPower II
VIA Rhine
Winbond W89c840 EthernetI
