Just a note -- if you have previously installed the .deb package, then "switching over" to a slimserver based on the tarball is not difficult.
I don't have a login on the server right now, but you only need to do a few things, like: (assuming we place the tarball under /opt/slimserver/) 1. Create /opt/slimserver/slimserver as a soft link to /opt/slimserver/slimserver.pl. 2. Edit the /etc/init.d/slimserver script to point to /opt/slimserver/slimserver rather than /usr/bin/slimserver (or wherever the .deb package places slimserver) 3. Modify the startup script again to make sure that you are not loading the old .pref file: comment out the reference to /etc/slimserver/slimserver.pref, and insert a new one for /opt/slimserver/slimserver.pref, for example. (As I understand it, slimserver creates this file if it doesn't exist, so no problems there.) I switched back to a stable 6.2.2 tarball from the 6.5b1 .deb yesterday, just by making the few changes as listed above. Haven't tested things thoroughly but it seems to work fine -- starts slimserver_safe and slimserver on reboot, etc. Cheers, Ed -- nalfeshnee ------------------------------------------------------------------------ nalfeshnee's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5523 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20603 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
