Hi Rick The file system linked on that page is still good, and is still the latest packaged (complete) one that's available. However, it has outdated versions of tcpborphserver and tgtap, so you'll want to update those manually after installing. IIRC, it's a bog-standard Debian root filesystem with some ROACH utilities added, so you could build one yourself if you feel so inclined.
Some helpful hints: You must create an ext2 partition on your SD card if you're going to install this there. Also, you must extract these files as root to maintain permissions. The GUI extractors won't work. Something like this from a terminal on another Linux box with your SD card inserted in a card reader: sudo tar -xzf filesystem_etch_2010-03-24_sd_shipping.tar.gz -C /media/MY_SD_CARD Jason On 23 Dec 2013, at 21:20 , Rick Raffanti wrote: > Hmm.
