I got my FreedomBox working last night. Booted up. 192.168.1.1, pwd nosoup4u. It worked great. Was able to plug in eth0 and eth1 into my LAN (at different times) and get Internet access while using WiFi as an access point.

I was explaining it to my family last night, but I got stuck on something: How this will work? :-)

How can a Freedombox connect to more than one other Freedombox at a time? Meaning how could my Freedombox connect to my neighbor's to the east, and my neighbor's to the west, and my neighbor across the street all at the same time, able to send data back-and-forth on WiFi?

Best regards,
Rick C. Hodgin

Hi folks, the latest FreedomBox testing image is published at the usual
places ([0], [1], [2]).  Sorry it's late, I'm trying to figure out how
to make it easier to turn the directory image into a QEmu image, but
haven't had much luck so far.  I've also had trouble installing the new
image to my DreamPlug, which doesn't make much sense, given how little
has changed since I installed it from Bdale's original repository.  If
anybody else has similar problems or solutions, I'd appreciate any
input.

Again, THIS IS NOT A COMPLETE FREEDOMBOX.  PLEASE USE AN ESTABLISHED
SYSTEM TO PROTECT YOUR PRIVACY.

Changes this week include:

- James Valleroy added Plinth's required packages to the FreedomBox
   image to make it work better, out of the box.

- Tom Galloway completed FreedomBuddy's web-UI.  It still needs love to
   make it pretty, but it's wonderfully functional.

- Other stuff I've forgotten?

Thanks to all the contributors,
Nick
