I'm in the process of setting something up. > * Have some info about the MAC address stuff, as I'm getting in touch with Well, I know how the MAC is handled. Basically, the "NAS Config" mtd partition contains a file called ETH0.MAC_ADDR that contains the MAC address. The real question is how to handle this in debian-installer, which currently doesn't support setting the MAC address. Maybe it would be possible to update the MAC address in the u-boot config before writing the debian-installer to flash. Do you know if the QNAP firmware has some tools to change the u-boot config? If not, we might have to read the mtd partition with the u-boot config, change the MAC address (e.g. using sed) and then write it back. That's not ideal, but it should work. > QNAP for the developement of a Finder for Linux.

So we could ask people to put the debian-installer binaries on the hard drive, boot the unintalled NAS, log in via telnet, then run a script that will write debian-installer to flash. Do you think that'll work? -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
