Hi,
I'm thinking about buying a thecus N2100 to replace my old 486 route/server
at my parents home. Obviously i want to run debian on it :) So i digged
around a little to see how the support is and apart from the fan control it
looks fine (any progress on that?)
So in the end i've got some hopefully simple questions:
* Is it possible to use access the machine's redboot via telnet. I know
that it's possible on the NSLU2, but i haven't seen reports about it on
an n2100. I'd prefer not having to solder a serial port to access
redboot :).
* I digged around in d-i svn to see how the installer support was. It seems
one can install d-i on the machine as a firmware upgrade. But i couldn't
find the needed preseed info for it to actually enabled the
network-console, like there is for example for the glantank. Did i miss
something or is the support just not quite there yet ?
* If something fails during the install, is there some way to hard reset
the box and have it return to the original firmware. Or is redbooting
another kernel/initrd from tftp the only option in that case?
TIA,
Sjoerd
