A few newbie questions
So I've been reading the wiki and forum threads for a while now, and I have a couple questions. While I'm sure I can add a serial port, I don't see myself experimenting with hacks myself. I could load some ready made firmware hacks, but that's it.
So here's what I want to accomplish. I want to use a DSM-G600 with an internal drive as a small linux server. Primarily, I want to use samba, ftp, ssh, and sshfs. If I can use it as an SSH server through which I can tunnel traffic, that would be perfect.
Now, my questions... and you'll have to forgive me as I'm not a Linux pro. Would I be able to accomplish this by using fun_plug to enable telnet, then using telnet to follow the instructions posted here for debian:chroot?
Am I understanding correctly that I follow the install steps, then use the mount/chroot code in fun_plug?

You can. No serial is needed to just chroot.
Tunneling traffic through ssh will be slow, probably couple of hundred kb's per second at maximum and your CPU load will be high during that time.

Re: A few newbie questions
That's what I pretty much figured. My concern was that the device just didn't have enough processor and RAM to do much more than serve files effectively. Out of curiosity, what ware people actually accomplishing above & beyond this using custom firmware?

Re: A few newbie questions
"above & beyond this using custom firmware" I don't understand. I am not English speaking person.
Using hddboot or loader.o you can load Gentoo embedded from hard disk. This is best option for this device resource and available option vise. But it is not easy and can take long time before your setup will be excellently working.
loader.o loadable kernel is available from wiki which is optimized for Gentoo (http://dns323.kood.org/dsmg600/howto:lo … ed_vmlinux). You just have to setup Gentoo system to sda3 (or upper but not to sda1 or sda2) using this guide http://dns323.kood.org/dsmg600/howto:chroot_gentoo .Before you begin you should know that only unsecured wifi is working under gentoo.
