Feb 11 21:07:25 <Gunter1972> hello everybody
Feb 11 21:07:44 <Tootoot222> hoi
Feb 11 21:08:11 <Gunter1972> is here someone they speak dutch
Feb 11 21:08:57 <Gunter1972> Spreekt er iemand nederlands ?
Feb 11 21:10:07 <Tootoot222> there might be, but i don't
Feb 11 21:10:37 <Gunter1972> i see, my english is very bad
Feb 11 21:11:08 <Tootoot222> well try your best =)
Feb 11 21:12:56 <Gunter1972> ok i have a sheevaplug , but how i get started
Feb 11 21:14:09 <Tootoot222> well, it should work rather well they way they ship it, it depends on what you want it to do
Feb 11 21:14:59 <Gunter1972> can i make a backup from it just in case
Feb 11 21:16:10 <Gunter1972> i will make a samba server, for share files on a harddisk
Feb 11 21:16:12 <Tootoot222> sure, if you plug in a usb drive or sd card it should auto mount it into /media/<something>
Feb 11 21:16:47 <Tootoot222> then you can do rsync -a / --exclude='/media' --exclude='/proc' --exclude='/sys' /media/<something>/folder/
Feb 11 21:19:31 <Gunter1972> what did i do for set it back then
Feb 11 21:19:53 <mwester> honestly, what's on it isn't worth preserving.  Use the wiki instructions to install a more recent copy of everything, and you'll not only have a better setup, but you'll learn a lot about how to work with the device in the process.  Remember - you can't break it; you always have jtag even in the worst case.
Feb 11 21:21:02 <Gunter1972> it's all new for me, i am scared to do something wrong
Feb 11 21:21:27 <Tootoot222> Gunter1972: like mwester said, there's nothing you can do wrong that will actually break it
Feb 11 21:21:35 <Tootoot222> you always have the means of fixing a problem
Feb 11 21:21:59 <Tootoot222> (the micro-usb port on the side allows you to write anything to the internals without requiring any software on the plug)
Feb 11 21:22:14 <Tootoot222> thus even if the entire memory was deleted you could still write something onto it
Feb 11 21:23:27 <Gunter1972> so i must do anything, and see later if it go wrong
Feb 11 21:23:43 <Gunter1972> what is a good site for starting
Feb 11 21:25:48 <mwester> http://www.plugcomputer.org/index.php
Feb 11 21:26:51 <mwester> Here's a good place to start -- get a different OS to boot up from a USB device or SD card (or even NFS from the network): http://plugcomputer.org/plugwiki/index.php/Getting_the_Plug_Computer_Running_with_an_Operating_System
Feb 11 21:28:13 <Tootoot222> this is good if you want to run debian on your plug http://www.cyrius.com/debian/kirkwood/sheevaplug/
Feb 11 21:28:32 <Tootoot222> ubuntu no longer supports the sheevaplug's processor, so you'd be stuck with a version of ubuntu from april of 2009
Feb 11 21:28:42 <Tootoot222> (which will be unsupported come april)
Feb 11 21:36:52 <Gunter1972> and the sambaserver, how works that
Feb 11 21:42:54 <Gunter1972> ok i go to sleep , i will come back
