how to install?

the title should read HOW TO INSTALL? not "hot to install?"


Hi,

I wanted to try nslu and searching for machine were to try I stumbled upon DSM-G600. Now I'm not thinking was such a great idea. I mean the stuff that attracted me was the fact that it had wireless built in and gigabit ethernet. Once I received it I saw that it only has ONE single ethernet port!!! How retarded is that? While Linksys slu has 4!! Anyway then I opened and found out I need an additional hard drive and on top of that is not even SATA. How on earth do you mix giga ethernet and IDE hard drive?

Anyway if anyone can tell if there are SATA, >4 giga ethernet and N wireless for nslu/openslu/Gentooslu/Debianslu. If not no sweat about it.

At this point I don't think I will change though. So since I am stuck with this how do I install this open thingy? Openwrt takes like a second doing "telnet ip image". I've searched everywhere for DSM-G600 and can't for cryst sake find a damn line that says "do this ___". I am quite at loss.

What would be a good hard drive to get for this machine? Do perpendicular technology hard drives work? Can open slu handle 500GB hard drive? Can I do RAID 0 with DSM-600?

Please I would appreciate some help as I am eager to flash this and start with the real fun,

have a nice 4rth of July ;-)

PS. Don't loose fingers with the fireworks either

Re: how to install?

At main page look for "What can you get from here" section. There are some options that you can do with DSM-G600. There's not much but better than nothing.
And now some facts (mainly):
*DSM-G600 cant do raid (there are some ways but don't ask, its to hard anyway)
*NSLU2 has only one ethernet port, just as DSM-G600
*There are no difference - IDE or SATA, if its placed inside DSM-G600, because you wont see over 20mb/s anyway.
*500gb should be ok. But D-Links says that 250gb is maximum limit (dont ask why, i dont know).

Re: how to install?

I just bought a G600 and a Diamond Max 500Gb ATA hard drive.

NO GO.  Dlink tech support pointed me to a FAQ on their website.

I am seriously disappointed.  Is anybody interested in a hack to allow larger drives, even if they have to be partitioned and formatted to 250Gb each?

Re: how to install?

Just partition your disks manually on a normal linux pc. Make sure that your first part is linux swap (512MB) and second partition must be ext2 or ext3.
