hi, i searched the fora, read the wikis, etc., but i don't see any updated info about installing / running slimserver on a Linkstation Live. there's a whole thread somewhere on the subject, but it deals with the LS or LS2, which are PPC or MIPS based. my LS Live has a Marvell cpu (arm11 i think). there are some posts about installing on an LS Pro, but no detailed instructions.
i haven't tried installing slimserver on the LS Live box yet, but i will soon. what i gathered from poking around are the following: - the linkstation os is a customized variant of linux, with no shell access out of the box. - shell access (i.e., root login, telnet, ftp, etc.) can be enabled by flashing with openlink or freelink. - freelink (debian) enables easy installation of slimserver and other stuff using apt-get; HOWEVER it replaces the installed os and loses some (if not all) of the functionality that came with it. - openlink augments the installed os to allow shell access, but does not disturb the rest of the installed os features. But, it is NOT a debian package, so does not have apt-get. - openlink with ipkg provides capability similar to freelink with apt-get (i think???). so, my questions: - does openlink with ipkg actually work? i'd rather not do the full freelink brain transplant, as i paid good $$ for the goodies that come with the LS Live. - is anybody working on a howto for the LS Live??? - is there a howto for the LS Pro (arm9 cpu), and would it work on the LS Live?
