I spent a fair amount of time trying to put together a tiny system that would fit into the Flash on a Dockstar, but ended up with a more conventional installation (system on USB disk). More recently, I built a GuruPlug system to take over the Dockstar's duties, and was able to fit Linux-3.4.4, Apache, PHP, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and a fair amount of other stuff into the 507MB flash, with ... let's see ... almost 100MB left. (This is using a UBI compressed filesystem.) For the GuruPlug install, I started with Arch Linux, rather than Slackware. I'm not up on the politics of the various distros, but it seemed like Arch made it easier to pick & choose individual packages. I plan to rebuild the Dockstar after the GuruPlug has a few weeks to get the bugs shaken out, and I'll probably try to fit an Arch Linux installation into the 128MB flash. I doubt I can fit a complete LAMP setup, but I really only need NFS, CUPS and maybe a basic web server. You should make sure you can access the TTL-level serial port on the Dockstar before you get too fancy with it! -- Mersenne Law LLC · www.mersenne.com · +1-503-679-1671 - Small Business, Startup and Intellectual Property Law - 1500 SW First Ave. · Suite 1170 · Portland, Oregon 97201 _______________________________________________ ARMedslack mailing list [email protected] http://lists.armedslack.org/mailman/listinfo/armedslack
