**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Sep 20 02:59:57 2008 Sep 20 18:43:56 hello Sep 20 18:49:20 is there a way to find out which packages are available for the OpenSlug distributions (SlugOS/BE, SlugOS/LE) ? Sep 20 18:52:47 http://ipkgfind.nslu2-linux.org/ Sep 20 18:53:10 Note that optware packages will also run on SlugOS. Sep 20 19:09:23 thx mwester Sep 20 19:12:51 i know that might be a bit OT in this chatroom but: if i use openwrt (because I like to be independent of a pendrive) all optware packages will still be installed on the external pendrive (because they don't fit in the Flash right? Sep 20 19:18:37 That's correct; there's little room left in the internal flash (it has only 8MB total, which needs to hold bootloader, system config, kernel, and the rootfs. Sep 20 19:18:40 ) Sep 20 19:19:14 But with openwrt there's more of a chance that you make it work, if you are careful. Sep 20 19:20:40 (OpenWRT has a few MBytes of space open, so it depends on what you need; there are folks who can make it work with just the internal flash) Sep 20 19:23:49 it would be ok for me if some of the extra services would be on the pendrive but I like a base system which boots up with an ssh so I can log in then I start what I need (or do it with a cron-bash-script) Sep 20 19:25:00 any chance to put debian/NSLU2 or SlugOS on the flash alone (any striped down packaes)? Sep 20 19:25:38 or is the smalest base system to big for the 8MB Flash? Sep 20 19:47:08 SlugOS will work on the internal flash; you'll have about a MB or so to play with. Sep 20 19:50:49 THX a lot mwester I think I am going to try SlugOS Sep 20 19:51:47 SlugOS/BE is the "fastest" right? Sep 20 19:52:11 Naw. There's no discernable (sp?) difference between BE and LE Sep 20 19:53:48 what do you sugest or is it regardles if I use LE or BE? Sep 20 19:58:21 BE, but only because there are more SlugOS/BE installations out there (because up until the current release, the Intel driver for the NIC would only run BE). Sep 20 20:22:09 the latest beta firmware on http://www.slug-firmware.net/s-dls.php is dated decmber 2007 are ther any newer beta or stable releases? Sep 20 20:23:57 That's the latest release. All final releases are called "beta" -- the mailing list had an article that expounded on the philosophy of this, but the -beta is the final release for that version. Sep 20 20:24:44 5.0 is in development. If you are a brave soul, and well-equipped with a Linux system, you can build the latest bits yourself. Sep 20 20:39:17 well I never crosscompiled a system out of the source before, so I will stick to the 4.8 Beta i think ^^ Sep 21 00:16:32 I set up SlugOS/BE. Can I somehow set the tempfolder (tmpfs) to my USB HDD? Sep 21 00:28:57 hmmm I am trying to setup samba in my SlugOS but evry time I run "ipkg install samba" it just gets "Killed" is this a known issue? Sep 21 00:48:54 i think i got it... **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sun Sep 21 02:59:57 2008
