[App_rpt-users] Limey Linux on a HP T5630 Thin Client

[pete M]

ok ,

I have some problem here..

Since my t5630 flash drive have a connector that is exactly like the connector that usely is on the end of a ide 44 pin cable I cant connect it to my usb adaptor and dd the limey image to the flash drive.

so I have to do it from the machine itself.

so to do so I downloaded ubuntu live cd to boot from a dvd reader and I have limey tar file on a usb stick.

I try to find where the hell in monted the damn ide flash disk and just cant.. I do have an Icone on the desktop but its a symlink and cant find where its pointing..

So I am right now downloading the centos 5.5 live dvd, hoping it will be more clear where the damn thing is..

I tried ide0 no go, ide1 not better..

Anyone can help??

And By the way

Have a merry Xmass to everyone on the list

The probably easiest way to get an answer to your question is to determine
it emperically.  Download the following image:

http://stats.allstarlink.org/limeylinux/downloads/cfimg-i586-via-1.1.5.tar.gz

and IMAGE copy it (after un-tarring) to the flash drive (using dd or equivalent).

If it boots, and "talks" to the ethernet, etc, then it works.
Otherwise, it doesnt.

I Have a few T5630 thin client that was donated to me (spec: 1ghz CPU , 1 gig of ram, 1 Gig flash drive)

they have a VIA chipset that have Video , network, and audio device

I am wondering if I could use that thin client with Limey to do a Allstar node AND an echolink node..

I would connect that to port 3 of my rc210 controler that I have for my 2 M and 70 cm repeater’s.

If possible, how to i build the thing??

I know a few thing about Linux but I am no way a guru.. I do prefer a windows machine, but I know that Linux in more stable..

So is it possible or am I dreaming?

forgot to tell you that there is a serial and printerl port to the machine

you can see the spec there:
