Hi Guys Running Arch on my pogopig at the moment , using motion with a webcam. It using a 8GB USB stick, I have, which I dont use, a 150GB HD in a USB caddy. Can I get Deb arm running on that, Arch is OK , but its got some strange behaviour, and I'm reasonably familiar with Debian as I run Mint on both machines here.
What I'd like to do is, continue using Motion on it, but also be able to use it for back up from both the other computers, and maybe for my sons, but that would mean some form of FTP, secure, remote access. Am I right that it would run a little faster with a USB HD than using the USB memory stick, I'd be able to a swap partion on it without problems. Or am I dreaming in cloud cuckoo land as normal :) The pogopig is V2 , and running ARM5 arch at the moment. One thing that gave problems with Arch was it would only use 2.7GB of the stick until I upgraded the kernel to later than 3.10. Is the install procedure similar, mount the usb hd and down load a tarball and then unpack,, Some words of wisdom appreciated Thanks -- -- Best wishes /73 Richard Bown Email : [email protected] HTTP : http://www.g8jvm.com nil carborundum a illegitemis ################################################################################## Ham Call G8JVM .
