Hello! Paul the answer to your question is "Yes!". The single problem is size. The drives need to be anything over 512 megabytes to effectively be used. Most people select those from the 1 gigabyte range. I myself am looking at a project that will be using the NSLU2 and doing just that. Except its drive would be a CF card.
Once you've selected the drive, everything else should work itself out. There are two lists for managing the thing, one is for Linux there as opposed to the other who does the general stuff. Depending on what your doing to effectively help our correspondent I suggest you join the Linux list. --- Gregg C Levine [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- "Remember the Force will be with you. Always."

Cute little box. I have no strong feelings either way, but Vittore wsa interested in unslung. Can we use a USB thumb drive as the "external USB disk"? If so, that would make the choice immaterial, since I'd want to use one in any case to store the data. I suppose you lose the extra USB port, however.

Openslug could be used without any extra hardware, and packages are installed in the flash-filesystem. (if they fit) I have an USB disk at home, but I will only be able to concentrate on doing owfs-packages one distribution and I feel I want to use openslug with writeable flash-filesystem. Does anyone else have any experience of unslung and openslug? How should binaries be distributed for unslung? Tar-files? /Christian Från: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] För Christian Magnusson Skickat: den 23 mars 2006 19:44 Till: owfs-developers@lists.sourceforge.net Ämne: SV: [Owfs-developers] owfs and nslu I have ordered a NSLU2, but I have started to do a full cross compilation here and I will probably have some fresh binaries to test when the hardware is delivered. The current nslu2-development package seem to be broken right now, so I had to patch it a bit before it could compile anything. (just in case anyone else are trying right now) /Christian Från: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] För Paul Alfille Skickat: den 23 mars 2006 13:30 Till: owfs-developers@lists.sourceforge.net Ämne: Re: [Owfs-developers] owfs and nslu By the way, Both Christian and I have odered a slug. We'll definitely have OWFS support.
