Either through the [[chroot_debian|debian]] chroot or as a standalone application. Third one is just to use the Firefly v1.00 extension (dns323_Firefly_v1.00) package from Dlink (only available from Firmware Version 1.08 onwards). This package includes FireFly Server svn-1696 version and can be installed as ADD-ON directly from Web GUI. With this possibility from iTunes SERVER tab a link to FireFly Web Pages will be available without any other work. |
