| 00:02.49 | Shareman | i was correcting the dependencies on the wiki ;) that list is now abolutely correct |

| 00:04.22 | Shareman | sonds nice to me what you're offering |
| 00:05.27 | rwhitby-web | you can write up how to debootstrap to sarge instead. that's fine with me. |
| 00:06.14 | Shareman | let me think about it some seconds |
| 00:08.29 | Shareman | DebianSlug (as base folder) means a super of "Slugs running debian"? |
| 00:09.06 | Shareman | so inside this folder you provide all infos about any arch and howtos to that topic, right? |
| 00:09.15 | *** join/#nslu2-linux mithro (n=tim@lester.mithis.com) |
| 00:10.27 | Shareman | now i see .. those names are a little dazzling |
| 00:10.38 | Shareman | dizzling ;) |
| 00:10.47 | Shareman | no =) |
| 00:12.47 | Shareman | If i klick on "Little Endian DebianSlug" the resulting page is http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/DebianSlug/DiskImageInstall |
| 00:14.01 | rwhitby-web | that page is the old way of doing it which requires extra hardware. |
| 00:14.24 | rwhitby-web | http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/DebianSlug/LeDebianSlug is a new page (single page) which will replace all other Little Endian DebianSlug pages. |
| 00:15.13 | Shareman | see it |
| 00:15.49 | Shareman | Okay i'm going to do that one |
| 00:18.41 | *** part/#nslu2-linux odoc (i=odoc@is.borntobooze.de) |
| 00:20.34 | Shareman | Now: here i am with my nslu2 right out of the box (only opened the case and putted the 4 serial pins on the board) ... |
| 00:24.32 | rwhitby-web | Shareman: are you set up to build LeSlug from source ? |
| 00:25.28 | Shareman | got many testing machines to do that, but no such setup done till now |
| 00:27.16 | Shareman | as i understand right now: |
| 00:27.29 | Shareman | stock machine runs BE mode |
| 00:27.48 | Shareman | so i first need to flash le and then debootstrap, right? |
| 00:32.19 | rwhitby-web | yes, you will need to build LeSlug using the MasterMakefile, and then flash that onto the slug and boot it. |
| 00:37.08 | Shareman | sounds >>make<<able ;) |
| 00:37.59 | Shareman | any suggestion on literature for that masterMakefile? |
| 00:38.19 | Shareman | this is the same MasterMakefile as for ds101g+, right? |
| 00:39.38 | Shareman | and your suggested way to flash the slug? serial? tftp? |
| 00:50.52 | rwhitby-web | wiki/Development/MasterMakefile |
| 00:51.19 | rwhitby-web | Shareman: do you have a windows or linux box on the LAN with the target NSLU2 ? |
| 00:51.37 | rwhitby-web | if Linux, then use UpSlug2 and the reset button method to put the box into upgrade mode. |
| 00:51.58 | rwhitby-web | If Windows, then use the SerComm upgrade utility |
| 00:53.17 | Shareman | i have both working and testing |
| 00:53.48 | Shareman | going to try both i think |
| 01:05.25 | rwhitby-web | since I do development in a VMWare session on a windows laptop, and upslug2 can't get through the WMWare NAT, then I use the SerComm upgrade tool myself. |
| 01:06.27 | Shareman | okay ... i'm much more familiar with my windows too (never used any gui on windows for my own) |
| 01:07.22 | Shareman | but for server/console applications, my daily job to develop on linux servers |
| 01:08.25 | Shareman | i removed the resistor to overclock it right now :) |
| 01:08.37 | rwhitby-web | I personally cannot stand the overblown overskinned KDE and Gnome monstrosities that today's Linux distributions have become, and run Linux inside a PuTTy ssh window :-) |

| 01:31.40 | eno-away | rwhitby-web: i highly recommend Ion window manager if you're a minimalist |
| 01:39.09 | Shareman | hehe |
| 01:42.40 | rwhitby-web | Shareman: if your question is in regard to Unslung or stock firmware, then it's the Linksys kernel USB mods. If in regard to OpenSlug, then I haven't heard anything that doesn't work. |
| 01:43.10 | rwhitby-web | eno-away: it's not just the window manager - it's the whole set of libraries and applications and bloatware that is KDE and Gnome. |
| 01:43.30 | rwhitby-web | (but that's just my personal opinion, I'm sure lots of people like the additional functionality) |

| 10:42.30 | Shareman | do i see it right, that you have no part on the wiki to describe the "breakin" into the stock system? you ever put firmware on it? |
| 10:44.22 | rwhitby | Shareman: what do you mean? |
| 10:45.43 | rwhitby | Jim Buzbee found the original telnet method, and that is described in http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/GainTelnetAccessViaTheClassicMethod |
| 10:45.59 | rwhitby | then I found an alternate method: http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/GainTelnetAccessViaTheBackupMethod |
| 10:46.40 | rwhitby | then Brian Lantz wrote a tool to disect a firmware image and put it back together again |
| 10:46.51 | rwhitby | then we modified the ext2.gz rootfs |
| 10:47.22 | rwhitby | then we did a binary sed on the kernel image to make it run a /linuxrc from the modified ext2.gz and pivot to an external rootfs on the disk |
| 10:48.08 | rwhitby | some time later (Unslung 2.x) we finally got the source code for the kernel and were able to rebuild it from source and fix things and add other things to the kernel. |
| 10:48.23 | rwhitby | Unslung 3.x added jffs2 support. |
| 10:49.01 | rwhitby | Unslung 4.x worked out how to free up another 10MB of RAM for packages to use |
| 10:49.40 | rwhitby | Unslung 5.x worked out how to do that with jffs2 as well. |
| 10:49.57 | rwhitby | Unslung 6.x will add NTFS support from Linksys version 2.3R63 kernel. |
| 10:50.16 | rwhitby | feel free to add a History page :-) |
