Good question. The nightlies cannot be used directly. The SS package needs to be packaged with some changes in configuration to fit in the n5200 module frame work. This is not very hard but is additional work and required Linux knowledge. There is documentation of how to do this in general in the Thecus Wiki. If you are a nighly junkie this takes a bit more work but I think once you uinderstand and have set up the module it can be done very quickly by recycling previous installation module and just replacing modified items. http://onbeat.dk/thecus/index.php/N5200_Module_Development Currently, other than the module framework which Thecus has implemented the work is done by users. Once the module is set up it is a 5 minute at most exercise to load SS. Addition of plugins is done thru SSH again a module you can install to gain a higher level of access to the system. -- Pellicle ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pellicle's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9789 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25784 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
