Re: [Soekris] OS FAQ
A little tip to write some source code on wiki: If you want post/write on wiki your .config file or your script you use: name name2 with a ' ' at the beginning of EVERY line. To post extended file with space you waste a lot of time...a little solution? sed. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sed 's/^/ /' /PATH/OF/YOUR/FILE file-for-wiki now copy your file-for-wiki on wiki:) Matteo ps: I write it after modified of gentoo .config file on wiki -- Matteo Basso email: matteo [at] netstop.it / www.netstop.it / www.kraba.it Net Stop Snc - Soluzioni Informatiche Str.

Next thing is getting the hardware and software set up is non-trivial, if you think this sounds weird for a hardware-company, then you overlooked exactly that it is a hardware company. In that context, you also have to ask yourself if this is really what you want soekris staff to spend time on.

Re: [Soekris] OS FAQ
Hi Esteban, people spend a lot of time answering questions on this list, so why not collect the answers, so next time the same question arrives, you can reply with a simple referral. And as you pointed out, a lot of documentation is being written anyway. The line between boosting a companies profits for free and simply putting down a few notes about ones experiences with some OS on some platform (which some people happen to do for fun) is thin here. Besides, it's not said that people will buy a Soekris box easier if they know in advance that they can't boot it of a USB stick, or won't be able to simply plug in a 3.5 HDD. I think the balance is OK here. I didn't mean to encourage people to start writing installation guides, just a few facts and hints (don't forget about..).

And yes, I know, it's not Soekris' responsability etc., but most people who buy a Soekris box plan to run an OS on it. Referring [new] Soekris owners to such a document would at least be a bit friendlier than the usual search the archives.
