So here is some more (anecdotal) information: it is only the newer Debian/NSLU2 firmware that has this problem. I tried both the Unslung and the older Debian SlugOS-3.10 linked to your site (thanks for the great site!!!). Both work fine. I want a Debian system, so last night, I performed a successful Debian install using the deprecated bootstrap method with the SlugOS-3.10 firmeware. It's working happily, following the deprecated instructions. But, back to Debian/NSLU2: no I did not specify a DNS. I flashed with a point-to-point connection to a laptop. My network is running off of a Netgear wireless/wired router and I specified a static IP and gateway. Afterwards, my intention was to plug it into the router. This worked fine with the SlugOS-3.10. Is a DNS necessary for a Debian/NSLU2 boot?? --Martin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
