Here is the start of my writeup about running Scientific Linux 5 ( a RHEL5 clone) on the ALIX:
http://wiki.keithl.com/index.cgi?SL5Alix It covers installing to the flash, configuring for flash friendliness and setting up the serial port console. With this you should be able to get a root prompt on the ALIX serial console, and do a lot of the network configuration. I hope to add more stuff for setting the ALIX up as a router/firewall, including: - BIND - SSL certs - dyndns/ddclient - OpenVPN - nocat - DenyHosts - patching the linux kernel for the Geode AES engine - power options (car battery, solar) It looks like I have the start of a magazine article here, so I got greedy and put a copyright notice on it. Go ahead and link to it, though. ---- Russell - we have an open mike at the PLUG meeting thursday. I can bring my ALIX, and I can boot it with an SL5 card, and you can boot it with an OpenWRT card. BTW, I am running the console at 38400 8n1, and this port assignment: eth0 (right ) WAN eth1 (center) LAN eth2 (left ) DMZ I am using less than 2GB of my 8GB card, the /spare partition contains copies of my old firewall and of the most recent working version (in case a later modification kills it).
