Jul 18 18:21:20 Is anyone there to answer questions? Jul 18 18:24:07 depends on the questions ;-) Jul 18 19:30:40 So im tryint to get usb sound working here. OpenSlug..aplay works, madplay gives no /dev/dsp...what did I miss? Jul 18 20:33:17 hmm Jul 18 20:33:36 how much space does the default install of debian require? Jul 18 20:35:03 i just extracted gentooslug + portage and ended up with 811 mb before even got it started Jul 18 20:35:06 ... Jul 18 20:48:55 mwester helped me unsling my slug. Now what, exactly, does this mean? Does unslinging write data to a seperate special partition? Jul 18 20:49:53 If I reformat or repartition my disk, can I perserve my unsling data? Jul 18 21:14:48 Shucks, I had to reboot unexpectedly and did not have a chance to see if any one responded to my question. Jul 18 21:15:13 Can anyone tell me if anyone responded to my question in the last 30 minutes or so? Jul 18 21:24:51 siegfried__, no answers on your question.. Jul 18 21:26:20 Oh thanks. Hmmm... I bet mwester would know. Does he join the chat regularly at a certain time of day? Jul 18 21:38:53 siegfried__, are you a native german speaker? Jul 18 21:40:13 No. I studied it in high school. At one time, many years ago, some considered me fluent. I am named Siegfried because my father was a big fan of Richard Wagner. Jul 18 21:41:58 ah ok, so i'll try it in english, unslung fw gives you the possibility to install progs/packages and it make it able to boot the operating system from an external data storage Jul 18 21:43:56 /sbin/unsling copies the whole operating system to your external data storage and sets a flag (/.sd[a|b]1root) to the external data storage, so if this flag-file exists, the nslu2 will boot from the external media Jul 18 21:45:02 your root partition is "admin 1" in nslu2 linksys terminus Jul 18 21:46:39 if you want change anything in size of partitions, and you haven't installed anything, or haven't copied any relevant data to the media, then you should reformat/repartition it and unsling again Jul 18 22:40:13 caplink811_log: thanks! So what happens when you have previously unslung and you have repartitioned the disk so all the unslung flag is gone. Does it boot normally? Jul 18 23:59:27 are there any slug specific kernel compiling howtos? is there anything to watch out for? **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed Jul 19 02:59:56 2006
