GNAP 1.7 is out ! GNAP is a Gentoo-based Network Appliance building system. It allows to build LiveCDs or bootable disks with a customized network appliance configuration in seconds. This is especially useful to quickly install Gentoo on small-CPU hosts to use them as routers, firewalls, VPN boxen... Starting points : http://embedded.gentoo.org/gnap.xml http://embedded.gentoo.org/gnap-userguide.xml This version includes two major new features. R/W overlay It is now possible to specify the name of a partition from which to overlay files at boot-time, allowing to write configuration changes back to a floppy or a specific CF partition for example. Easier extensibility Add new functionality to GNAP used to force you to rebuild a complete new core, which took both time and effort. The new extension system in gnap_make allows you to build extensions without building a new core, and the new gnap_remaster tool helps you to add extensions to existing core files. So emerge gnap and play ! Ask me on IRC for any questions you may have. For bugs/patches/enhancement requests, use the Bugzilla "Embedded" component and assign bugs to me. Thank you. -- Thierry Carrez (Koon)
