Voyage Linux on my Soekris 4501
15/04/06
I finally found a few hours free to load a Debian Linux system onto a compact flash card. I chose voyage-linux for its customization options and rw filesystem. It was a little easier than I had expected since I was able to load the voyage install iso through vmware directly into a Compact Flash Card using and IDE adaptor. From there I just followed the voyage instructions.
After that, it was simply a matter of configuring the prism and atheros wifi cards as clients to my network and running apt-get update. I've added in a few other useful softwares such as quagga, nano-tiny, ntpdate, iptraf, wavemon, iperf, whois, wondershaper, mc.
I wanted to also install ntop but I am having problems getting it to run in the ro environment. I just need to get Captive Portal working now, and maybe look at the mesh version. Every so often I run out of memory when I try to use dselect but using mainly apt-get works great.
