<title>Bering-uClibc Installation</title>
<section>
<title>What is Bering-uClibc?</title>
<para>LEAF Bering-uClibc is based on the well-known Bering distribution
from Jacques Nilo (<email>jnilo@users.sourceforge.net</email>) and Eric
Wolzak (<email>leaf@wolzak.de</email>). It provides the same features and
functionalities. The main difference to the original Bering release, is
that all binaries have been compiled with uClibc instead of glibc 2.0.7.</para>
<para>The detailed Bering <ulink
url="http://leaf.sourceforge.net/doc/guide/binstall.html">installation
guide</ulink> and <ulink
url="http://leaf.sourceforge.net/doc/guide/busers.html">user's guide</ulink>,
applies to almost every part of this release. The few differences, that
exist are documented in a separate chapter.</para>

<section>
<title>Why Bering-uClibc?</title>
<para><itemizedlist><listitem><para>uClibc is a modern, stable, highly
compatible replacement for Glibc. uClibc is developed for embedded systems
and is therefore intended to be complete but lightweight. Trade-offs
between speed and size were decided in the direction of \
size.</para></listitem><listitem><para>Therefore uClibc libraries are significant \
smaller than the comparing glibc libraries. This results in more than 100kb free \
space on the current Bering-uClibc image, even with additional features compared to \
the original Bering distribution. </para></listitem><listitem><para>The uClibc
libraries are actively developed and maintained, including bugfixes,
security-related fixes and new features as \
well.</para></listitem><listitem><para>With Bering-uClibc v 2.0 (currently in beta) \
IPv6 support is available.</para></listitem></itemizedlist>To find more information \
about uClibc, look at <ulink url="http://www.uclibc.org">www.uclibc.org</ulink> \

<title>The Floppy Image</title>
<para> The floppy image comes with the same packages as Bering plus
dropbear, a small sshd replacement. All packages have been recompiled with
uClibc. There are a few differences besides the complete change of the
libraries, mostly related to the fact that uClibc is targeted at minimal
and embedded systems. There are also a few enhancements - most notably
IPv6 support, and some cleanups. None of the changes leads to less
features. Please take a look at the <ulink
url="http://leaf.sourceforge.net/mod.php?mod=userpage&menu=91003&page_id=39">Changelog</ulink>
to find out what has changed between the releases. </para>
</section>
<section>
<title>Extra packages</title>
<para> In addition to the packages on the floppy disk, we are recompiling
and rebuilding the most used LRP's and provide them in our cvs
packages tree. This is an on-going effort. </para>
<para>Read <ulink
url="http://leaf.sourceforge.net/mod.php?mod=userpage&menu=91017&page_id=51">more</ulink>
to find out what's available today.</para>
</section>
<section>
<title>Sourcecode</title>
<para>In the cvs repository you'll find all sourcecode, patches etc.
needed to get the sources compiled with uClibc, just in case you are
interested to do it yourself. </para>
<para>Read the Sources page and learn what's needed to compile your
own packages. Additionally you'll find an introduction to buildtool,
which will be enhanced step by step to build a floppy completly from
source. </para>

<title>Acknowledgement</title>
<para>Thanks to all LEAF developers, uClibc developers and - you name
them. Special thanks to the Bering Crew for Bering itself and Mike Noyes
for all his work for the LEAF community.</para>
