I was successful in getting XIPPR to install on my HP T5710 yesterday, with an automated net install. Was not having any luck with ACID, Limey or even CentOS 5.9/6.3 minimal installs (it couldn't find the install images on the USB thumb drive used for booting). I upgraded the 512MB flash chip with a Transcend 8GB compact flash and adapter like how Ramesh talked about a few weeks ago. I disabled swap and added "noatime" in /etc/fstab to help the CF extend its life. XIPPR took about four hours to install but runs very well with a DMK URI and includes web-based administration tools. It is a very nice distro, but a little behind in MDC1200 capability that I need. My C programming skills will be challenged for sure. Tony On 2/26/2013 1:50 PM, George Csahanin wrote:
You can roll your own custom Limey as well. Not too much of a c.f., but I did it to add wifi.
I also said I'd write a how-to, but time is my enemy...
But just ordered one of those HP boxes and will probably at some point try to roll a Limey for it. I need to stop using the d945 boards all over. The USB is plain flaky with transmit audio.
