**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Jan 17 02:59:57 2007 Jan 17 10:01:49 hello all Jan 17 10:02:45 I am considering freecom FSG-3 to build custom appliance. Is there a more suitable channel about it? Jan 17 10:18:59 Dandre: I don't think there's a separate fsg-3 channel Jan 17 10:19:25 rwhitby and I both have fsg-3s that we are hacking ;) Jan 17 10:19:49 ok Jan 17 10:19:53 Dandre: do you have a serial console on it yet? Jan 17 10:20:17 I don't have it, I plan to purchase one Jan 17 10:20:39 ok, do you want to hack the kernel, or just run applications. Jan 17 10:20:51 (e.g. you can install applications from the Optware/fsg3 feed that we maintain) Jan 17 10:21:02 http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/fsg3/cross/stable Jan 17 10:21:06 I have seen that it is 260 bogomips, does it means something about the power as compared to intel pentium? Jan 17 10:21:21 no Jan 17 10:21:59 I doubt that you can compare ARM bogomips and Pentium bogomips. Jan 17 10:22:20 Dandre: what is it that you want to do with it? Jan 17 10:23:06 I am using a P3-600 with 128M of RAM for my asterisk test install. I'd like to install asterisk on it Jan 17 10:23:22 for a consumer usage Jan 17 10:24:42 well, asterisk is running on the nslu2 which uses a very similar cpu. Jan 17 10:24:58 and the nslu2 has half the RAM of the fsg3 Jan 17 10:25:24 Dandre: see the message archive for the nslu2-asterisk yahoo group (you can probably find it at gmane.org) Jan 17 10:25:55 asterisk 1.4 and 1.2.14 are in the optware feed, so it shouldn't be too hard to install. Jan 17 10:26:03 ok I will get it Jan 17 10:27:56 Dandre: note that I'm not aware of anyone who has successfully run asterisk on fsg-3 yet. Most of the experience is on NSLU2. Jan 17 10:28:06 But I see no reason why it shouldn't work. Jan 17 10:28:40 You can install optware and test it out without voiding the warranty, so make sure you buy it from somewhere where you can return it if it doesn't meet your needs. Jan 17 10:29:42 thanks Jan 17 10:30:02 what manipulation should void the waranty? Jan 17 10:41:26 opening the case would be a start. Jan 17 10:42:00 installing non-vendor firmware technically voids the warranty, but you can usually reflash the vendor firmware back if you suspect a hardware problem Jan 17 12:53:24 Hello. Is there a channel for user discussions wrt openslug? Jan 17 13:09:35 queuetue: not specific to openslug, really Jan 17 13:09:50 What's your question? Jan 17 13:13:34 NAiL: I'm debating the wisdom of using an NSLUG2 as a 4-disk raid backup system. I'm not sure how SW raid, usb 2.0 hubs, etc will play together. Jan 17 13:18:47 NAiL: Is there any (wisdom) in it? :) Jan 17 13:39:11 queuetue: Speedwise, it'll suck. Jan 17 13:39:23 * NAiL gotta run Jan 17 13:39:24 later all Jan 18 00:46:47 Jeez, could someone tell jelle to upgrade his network from carrier pigeons to something more modern? **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu Jan 18 02:59:57 2007
