Apr 08 20:55:10 or any other custom firmware Apr 08 20:55:35 I'd prefer not to have to format a USB HD to use *specifically* with the device, if that's possible Apr 08 20:57:52 Yes, you can flash all firmwares except Debian without a hard drive or a USB memory stick. Apr 08 20:58:07 However, without external storage, they are rather limited in what they can do. Apr 08 20:58:33 Especially Unslung, as it is as dependent upon external storage as is the Linksys firmware. Apr 08 20:58:50 well, what I'd like to do is install a firmware that will let me attach and use a USB HD without reformatting the entire thing Apr 08 20:59:18 And where would you put the software that the NSLU2 would need to run? Apr 08 20:59:34 a partition (or better yet, a separate USB memory key attached to the other USB port) Apr 08 21:00:33 Oh, well, you didn't say you were willing to use an external USB memory key. Of course you can use that. Apr 08 21:00:47 and then I'd be able to mount the other partitions on my carefully-formatted USB disk to various locations and share them using a carefully set up Samba Apr 08 21:00:51 oh sure Apr 08 21:00:54 or a partition Apr 08 21:00:55 either/or Apr 08 21:01:37 so what do you suggest? Apr 08 21:02:10 I don't have to use Unslung, my Linux skills are at least second-rate (as opposed to third rate or n00b level) Apr 08 21:02:16 and the web UI looks nasty to me Apr 08 21:02:37 Review the wiki, esp. the section(s) on the various firmwares, and select based on one that will meet your needs. then figure out how to install (to parttiion or separate usb key). Apr 08 21:02:41 I run a WDS with four WRT54GLs using Tomato Firmware, and a Buffalo NAS also, so this isnt' Apr 08 21:02:46 a totally new area for me Apr 08 21:02:52 ok Apr 08 21:03:24 but I could just install Unslung without using the key, and then make a decision about using a uSB key or another HD later? Apr 08 21:03:43 or will it freak out if I try to flash it without an attached drive? Apr 08 21:04:05 It won't freak out; it just won't do much. Apr 08 21:04:30 but the flash itself will make it succeed? The readme seems to suggest it wouldn't Apr 08 21:05:07 In fact, you should not have any external storage at all plugged in while flashing or during the initial boot. Apr 08 21:05:20 oh ok Apr 08 21:06:01 since Unslung leaves the Linksys web UI intact, would I be correct in presupposing that I could format the USB device *after* installing it? Apr 08 21:06:33 Yes Apr 08 21:06:52 outstanding Apr 08 21:07:09 well, I'm going to go have lunch, and I'll most likely flash it upon my return Apr 08 21:07:13 unless work pre-empts me Apr 08 23:42:50 03bzhou * r8162 10optware/trunk/make/proftpd.mk: proftpd: with mod_shaper **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed Apr 09 02:59:57 2008
