So, one of the most annoying things about the DreamPlug is that it's nearly impossible to tell when it's finished booting. Anyone who's interested in getting started on contributing code to FreedomMaker could fork it and create a "signal-running.sh" file that used Festival or the blinkenlights (particularly the currently unused Bluetooth light) to signal "hey, I've booted!" or to read off the system's current IP address (easier through audio with Festival, maybe Morse-code for the lights?) when it finishes booting.
All you'd have to do is to create an /etc/init.d/signal-running.sh file in the /source directory and add a symlink like /etc/rc2.d/99-signal-running that points to the file. To blink the lights: $ echo 1 > `eval ls /sys/class/leds/guruplug\:green\:wmode/brightness` $ echo 0 > `eval ls /sys/class/leds/guruplug\:red\:wmode/brightness` Thought that might be a fun, zany little idea that someone might enjoy building. Thanks for your time, Nick
