<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Clearly, one of the fundamental differences of Limey Linux is that it is *ENTIRELY*<br>RAM-based. So, there is no "permanent" filesystem.<br><br>If you make a config change (something in the /etc directory tree), you have to then<br>use the command 'svcfg', which writes a tarball onto the CF card, so that the next time<br>it boots, it will re-read that stuff into RAM again.<br><br>Forgive me, but I can't control myself, and am taking this AMAZING opportunity to say:<br><br>"Gee, you're British.. Don't you know about this "Limey" stuff???" :-) :-) :-)<br><br>Jim WB6NIL<br><br><div>> Date: Sat, 13 Jul 2013 17:29:16 +0100<br>> From: jrh@g0fhm.co.uk<br>> To: app_rpt-users@ohnosec.org<br>> Subject: [App_rpt-users] Limey Help...<br>> <br>> Hi Guys,<br>> <br>> I've fixed the fsck on boot problem - I was using the wrong image.<br>> <br>> However, I'm in need of some assistance with setup etc.<br>> <br>> I've never played with this kind of setup before, so please excuse me if <br>> some of the questions seem a bit basic.<br>> <br>> First off, I cannot seem to get it to save anything. I changed the <br>> timezone to GMT0BST, ran date and it showed the correct time. Reboot, <br>> and it defaults back to PDT. Same as all the .conf files. The ones that <br>> have been downloaded from the portal are ok (such as gps.conf, <br>> echolink.conf etc), but I'm trying to modify rpt.conf & usbradio.conf <br>> with nano. Again, it all saves just fine, but the moment I reboot the <br>> thin client, everything is dropped and reverts back to the default settings.<br>> <br>> Am I doing something wrong here? or is it just the nature of the system <br>> I'm using? I cannot leave the thin client on 24/7 - that won't be <br>> happening (it's powered by the 25A SMPSU I have in the shack, and the <br>> fan is noisy for a start).<br>> <br>> If it's a case of having to drop everything every time it gets turned <br>> off, then I'll go back to the 2.5" HDD from the CF.<br>> <br>> Unless I'm not doing something right?<br>> <br>> Cheers,<br>> <br>> James<br>> 29681<br>> <br>> <br>> _______________________________________________<br>> App_rpt-users mailing list<br>> App_rpt-users@ohnosec.org<br>> http://ohnosec.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/app_rpt-users<br></div> </div></body>
