Ok, the rescue attempt succeeded. Thanks to both Joachim Ott (who seems to have sent his(?) reply directly to me?) and Alishams Hassam.
Now, my questions. 1) Right now, I'm trying to setup a swapfile. On NAND. Before I do this, I want to confirm something: if I use touch to create a new file, and then use dd to fill it with zeroes, this will write to that file in the filesystem, and NOT to an arbitrary location in NAND, correct? 2) The wiki mentions using Slim from OpenEmbedded if you want to run as a conventional user, instead of running as root. How well does this work? Any better methods? Any changes on this front? Relatedly, what do I need to secure for this to genuinely have a point / what should I google as a *nix noob on *nix security? 3) I want to install leafpad as a text editor, as well as gcc etc., but I'm not seeing any links to precompiled package repositories. Did opkg.org (or whatever it was) die? Are there any alternatives? I already have a USB battery, so compile time vs. battery life doesn't worry me. _______________________________________________ Shr-User mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shr-project.org/mailman/listinfo/shr-user
