Hello all,
I am very keen on setting up Debian on the WL-HDD however I am running into some snags following the tutorial. I am sure this can be done but the tutorial has left me in the dark on a several issues. If anyone can help me that would be great!!! Then we can try to add some more info to the wiki to make it easier for everyone (yeah )
Question #1
What should the fstab look like (I asked this before and a lot of people have viewed my post but no answers so far)? Is this fstab for the device root or does it go in my debian's /etc/fstab file? I’m pretty sure it goes in the debian /etc/fstab file but it doesn’t say on for sure on the wiki…
Question #2
I put the debian file tree where? In my current configuration I have set up 4 partitions (3 are ext3 1 is swp). Partition number one is for root, the second one is for swap (256mb) and two others I was hoping to use as HTTP and FTP separately.
I put my debian-distro on the first partition at /tmp/harddisk/distributions/debian. I tried mounting this onto /tmp on the actual root system and ended up with /tmp/tmp/harddisk/distributions/debian so I moved some stuff around and got it to look like this /tmp/harddisk/distributions/debian but quickly ran into other problems…
Question #3
exim4-config (actually all exim4 debs) is not installing properly and I think this is the reason that several other debs are not installing correctly either (telnet, wget, etc). I tried letting it slide; just running base-config but that fails out… I was trying this all using 1.9.2.7-4 so I thought maybe that was my problem. I started over with 1.9.2.7-1 last night but I’m having difficulty even getting as far as I was before now.
Questions #4
The wiki says “ssh to your Asus device”. I don’t see how I could do that as out of the box I don’t seem to have an sshd running on the device? I have been using telnet and seems to work okay but it makes me think I’m missing out on some step here.
I probably have other questions but nothing is coming to mind right now, I’m at work and it’s all a bit gray in my mind from here.
I know I’m a noob with all of this but I would really appreciate it if someone could help me out. I am pretty good at following directions but I find the current wiki instructions to be lacking in many ways.
Thanks in advance to everyone!!!
