debian-installer rc2 for NSLU2 available
Frans Pop uploaded debian-installer a few days ago in preparation
for RC2. RC2 will be released in a few days after some more testing and
the creation of CD images. Since the NSLU2 doesn't need CD images and I've
tested the installer already, I've made NSLU2 images of RC2 available.
Special thanks go to Gordon Farquharson who has done tremendous amounts of
testing in the last few weeks and months. Since RC1, the following changes
have been implemented:
- The kernel now uses the Ethernet driver developed by Christian
Hohnstaedt. This driver is aimed for inclusion in the mainline kernel,
even though it still needs quite a bit of work to get there.
- The kernel has been upgraded to 2.6.18. This version adds LED support
for the NSLU2 and fixes real time clock support. The NSLU2 is pretty much
fully supported with this kernel.
- The installer now has the ability to set the time zone during
installation.
- Joey Hess has substantially updated the nslu2-utils package.
Among other things, it has proper support for the LEDs now. I have added
LABEL and UUID support for /etc/fstab and made the parsing code
more robust, making it unlikely that a kernel upgrade will make your device
unbootable.
Installation instructions are
available.
