I guess it depends on your situation.  If you are genuinely cramped
for space, then I don't know of any existing, ready to-go
distributions for you.  If you are not cramped for space (say, you've
got a 4G+ CF or maybe a small laptop drive), give this a try:

Hi Mads,

take a look at http://www.stsx.org/debian/ibs/index.html
It will take care of the haggis of potential PXE/DHCP/TFTP errors for
you, so you can focus on the OS you want to install. Debian lenny
installs perfectly, for Soekris-specific details about Ubuntu see the
Soekris wiki.

[Soekris] Ready to burn Flash Card Images?

2009-08-03 Thread Mads Hjorth
Hi,

I am trying to get my Soekris 5501 back up and running. I had it  
running nicely with a OpenBSD but ran into problems when I found that  
FUSE (http://fuse.sourceforge.net/) did not run under OpenBSD.

I decided to give latest Ubuntu Server 9.4 a try. I did not manage to  
get it installed via PXE and my first try into debootstrap did not get  
my all the way.

 From the plenty of pages with people giving guide lines on how to  
install various OS on Soekris it seems like there most be plenty of  
Compact Flash Cards out there with running installations.

My question... Is there a repository of ready to go installation of  
some basic OS for Soekris? more specific Ubuntu 9.4 on a 5501?

Regards,

Mads
