School server stuff
A few questions: What driver is required on an ordinary Linux system for the active antennae? [I ask because plugging one in to a hot-off-the-presses F9 system causes said system to freeze instantly :-( ] The XS images--are they designed for XO hardware, or garden variety desktop hardware? If the XS image is just for the XO (to turn it into an XS), how do I turn a garden-variety Linux/Fedora system into an XS? ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

The XS images--are they designed for XO hardware, or garden variety desktop hardware? No, they work with most x86 systems (anything that runs F7). If the XS image is just for the XO (to turn it into an XS), how do I turn a garden-variety Linux/Fedora system into an XS? The xs-pkgs and xs-config packages from the XS repo turn updated F7 into a school server. xs-config contains the libertas drivers for the 2.6.23 kernel from F7, as well as the additional scripts to make an active antenna act as a mesh portal. http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XS_Software_Repositories wad ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
