Hein / Gabriel, I am referring to the standard Linkstation HD250LAN - but you need be a bit careful whether you have a PPC or an MIPS version of the Linkstation as the installation process is a little different. They are not two seperate products, but different versions of the same product. Buffalo swapped the processor to the more powerful MIPS some time in 2005 AFIAK. Most Linkstations for sale now will be MIPS, I believe. I can do no better than refer you to the excellent instructions by Marc D. Field below: http://fieldnetworks.com/slim/linkstation.html I followed these on a PPC Linkstation and as a *total* Linux / Slimserver newbie (some time ago now) without any real problems. I found the old PPC Linkstation more than adequate for my initial needs, but a bit underpowered (i.e. slower rescans and web browsing, and you can't run things like Alien BBC on it). A couple of years and a few thousand songs later, I now run a dedicated music server. The new MIPS version of the Linkstation is a bit more powerful and I believe some people have even managed to get Alien BBC up and running on it. -- Siduhe ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Siduhe's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=723 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22820 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
