Lintrack: Linux for Internet Service Providers
Lintrack is a new GNU/Linux distribution for routers, firewalls, network access servers and more. It features new approaches to several areas such as system configuration and integration, but has many ideas inspired by traditional Linux distributions as well. I would like to introduce you to the project and provide step-by-step instructions for configuring Lintrack as a simple OSPF backbone router and a PPPoE network access server.
Installation
First, we need to obtain the Lintrack 2.0 installation CD - you can download this from the project’s website. After booting your target machine from the CD, you are presented with a screen similar to the one depicted in figure 1 showing the Lintrack installer welcome message.
Most users don’t need to enter any kernel parameters, so simply press Enter and allow the installer to finish booting. After booting, run 'setup' to start the plain, pure-text setup program. This program will ask you a small number of questions in order to install Lintrack onto your hard disk.
The first question requests the location of the target partition.
