Sisela and IP Masquerading
by s0233421 16 Feb '04

16 Feb '04

I dunno if these questions have been asked before or if there's something I'm just doing wrong, but for some reason I have a problem Sisela installs quite nicely, gets an IP and sets up routing without too much bother, and as far as I can see everything works, i.e. sisela can ping www.google.com , sisela can ping another box attached to it (172.24.12.34) and that box can ping sisela. Everything works fine. At this point I try setting up IP Masquerading/IP Forwading with the following echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward iptables -A FORWARD -o eth0 -i eth1 -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT iptables -A FORWARD -s 172.24.0.0/16 -o eth0 -j ACCEPT iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE However upon trying to ping www.google.com on 172.24.12.34, nothing happens. This is quite odd, since I've used the same code (with stuff like logging and some basic port-filtering) on both slackware and debian installations and its worked more or less perfectly. have I assumed something sisela needs to be told explicity, or is there another way of doing this or something ? Sorry if this is incredibly trivial and a waste of time, but I'm somewhat perplexed. Oh and can the 0.3a code be compiled from the 0.3 ? I'd like sisela to boot with "pcifix" automatically and have a feeling I'll have to compile it into the code. Thanks for your help, and thanks for what is otherwise a very cool disc :) Mark

At Friday, 30 January 2004, you wrote: >But I would suggest multiple floppies make more sense to >me. I think half the point of sisela was that you don't have to change disks. For a war driving situation I guess that's not too bad since you're in front of the machine, but as a remote router on some wide area network, it's not always convenient to get to the location of the sisela box. Just a thought. =================================================================== EASY and FREE access to your email anywhere: http://Mailreader.com/ ===================================================================

Extending sisela
by MixMatch 30 Jan '04

30 Jan '04

Hi all. New to sisela, but have linux experience, including source based distro sorcerer. Anyway, I was wondering how hard it would be to add packages to the build process of this distribution. I have built a small computer whos main purpose should be to function as a wireless DSL router, but I also want to run samba, cups,httpd and squid on it. I realize that the main objective of this distro is to be tiny, but I am interested in extending it for myself pretty much... It would also be nice if I could include the madwifi wireless drivers for my card, but they are curretly available only by cvs. Thanks in advance, MixMatch

Compiled finally
by MixMatch 29 Jan '04

29 Jan '04

Hello, I finally got my source to compile and boot, however I had to modify $(TOPDIR)/$(SYSLINUX)/memdisk/init.S16 lines 45 and 60 where the comments started with the '#' sign. The compiler wasn't liking it for some reason, so I changed it to the /*line content*/ syntax and didn't have problems.

Syslinux compile error
by MixMatch 28 Jan '04

28 Jan '04

Hey, I have yet another problem in my hands. My syslinux compile is failing with the following error: make -C win32 all make[2]:Entering directory '/home/mixmatch/sisela-0.3/syslinux-2.08/win32' mingw-gcc -I.. -Wall -02 -fomit-frame-pointer -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -c -o syslinux-mingw.o syslinux-mingw.c make[2]: mingw-gcc: Command not found make[2]: ***[syslinux-mingw.o] Error 127 make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/mixmatch/sisela-0.3/syslinux-2.08/win32' from there it says that syslinux.exe had an error also, exits the syslinux dir, and gives an error for syslinux-build. Am I going to have to install mingw on my system for it to work or is there another way around this, besides using another bootloader? MixMatch

error with ulibc location in Makefile
by MixMatch 28 Jan '04

28 Jan '04

Hello... The source code download does not compile because the uclibc source is incorrectly listed as: http://uclibc.org/downloads/$(UCLIBC).tar.bz2 on line 267 of the Makefile. It should be: http://uclibc.org/downloads/old-releases/$(UCLIBC).tar.bz2 MixMatch

The Sisela source can now be retrieved from CVS: cvs -d :pserver:cvs@the.earth.li:/community/cvs/ login cvs -d :pserver:cvs@the.earth.li:/community/cvs/ checkout sisela Currently this is just the 0.3 release version, but I'll start adding in changes as I make them from now on.
