I have run x-apps and even entire desktops on some very low power PCs before
with Debian before.
You don't need to install an x-server on the soekris. You just run the
application and export the

Perhaps you're confusing X with insanely bloated modern desktop
environments built atop X, like KDE and Gnome? (X is not a window
system; it's a framework for building window systems. It's possible
to build fairly lightweight window systems in X.)
Well, well. That's X theory. X practice

I don't see why not. It was useful on Sun-3s, which were significantly
wimpier.

I got XFCE up and running on a Lifebook S-4572 a couple of weeks ago.
The 4572 is comparable to the 4801 in

Jan, Ted, List,
This has been an interesting project. I needed to build a new image for
my 4801 with limited interruptions of server. That did not happen, it
would have been quicker to that the server offline and use it to rebuild
the system. The process was a learning experience and something I

I have tested the build with my laptop and eth0 works just fine.
Did i miss a module for the 4801??

William, I think you may be experiencing an issue with udev. If
you've mounted this image on another machine, all of the eth ports
will be assigned to specific MAC addresses (the ones on your laptop).
If you then put the image on the soekris, you'll see that the eth
ports you thought you

Just checking. :-)

I'm not a Debian user myself, but you can check to see if the module is
available by looking for natsemi.ko in:
