Freesco

Installation of Freesco packages

It’s really not tough, but I always seem to forget how to install a package to Freesco.
Just use the following command from the freesco command line (remember you must be root to do this)

pkg -i pathname

Pathname would be the location of the package, usually in http: format.

Freesco Information

I'm a big supporter of the Freesco Linux Router project. I gave a presentation on it to the Portland Unix/Linux User Group (PLUG) in January 2003. If I can find the missing slides, I'll post them on this page. In the meantime, it is a free replacement for commerical routers supporting up to 10 ethernet/arcnet/token ring network cards and up to 8 modems. It fits completely on a floppy disk (1.44 Mb) and can run in as little as 8 Mb of RAM. Obviously, if you have more memory or install it to a harddrive, you can greatly expand it's capabilities.
