Hi there. I'm trying to install Slimserver on a Linkstation 2 mipsel
hdhlan.

I am trying to follow the instructions on
http://fieldnetworks.com/slim/linkstation.html

http://linkstationwiki.org/Projects/OpenLink

I have installed mipsel-openlink-0.52b

I have read that there is a little bug saying I still have firmware
2.05 whereas actually I have the newer one installed I hope! which is
2.23

http://linkstationwiki.org/Articles/GeneralFirmwareFlash
I did this, but I was wondering what is the second part of this page
mean? I did the first half of the page which is titled openlink and
freelink. All of this worked fine. I was wondering what does the stock
firmware stuff under the heading do and mean? Am I meant to do this
also?

SYNOPSIS:
OpenLink is our effort to provide firmware which "opens" your
LinkStation, thus providing full access to the LinkStation. The
OpenLink firmware is built upon the most recent official LinkStation
firmware release. It retains all the stock capabilities of the official
LinkStaiton firmware while adding utelnetd, dropbear, su, and busybox
and upgrading the libc6, libdb1-compat, and zlib1g libraries.
INSTALLATION:
OpenLink install via the official LinkStation firmware updater,
eliminating any need to open the LinkStation. Unzip the package on a
Windows PC and run HD-HLAN FWUpdate.exe. If this is your first time
flashing the LinkStation please read the wiki firmware flashing
directions first. OpenLink defaults with utelnetd set to /bin/bash.
Connect to your LinkStation via telnet. Telnet will automatically load
the root shell prompt. First create the appropriate SSH keys:
dropbearkey -t dss -f /etc/dropbear/dropbear_dss_host_key
dropbearkey -t rsa -f /etc/dropbear/dropbear_rsa_host_key
Change the root password:
passwd root
Disable utelnetd and log in via SSH from now on:
rm /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/S05utelnetd
If you wish to continue using utelnetd then you must change the startup
script! Open /etc/init.d/utelnetd and change:
/sbin/utelnetd -l /bin/bash &
to:

/sbin/utelnetd -l /bin/login &
http://linkstationwiki.org

I did all of this, rebooted, and now when I try and use telnet to get
into the linkstation, it can't find it. I did connect the linkstation
directly to my computer, and I changed the ip address of the ethernet
to 192.168.11.149 and kept my linkstation ip address at
192.168.11.151.

I'm not sure why? I read that only firmware 1.* can let you use telnet
to gain access into your linkstation, but why did't it tell me that in
the instructions?

Thanks lots.
