I have a Squeezebox 3 with the SlimServer running on Windows XP (all runs fine apart from having to have the PC turned on). After reading the forums and Wiki, a NAS device seemed the way to go, so I purchased a LinkStation HD-HG250 :-
1) I read http://fieldnetworks.com/slim/linkstation.html "Installing SlimServer on a LinkStation" I have a MIPS processor LinkStation firmware version 2.05 (so even telnet from a Windows PC was disabled) The LinkStation was already configured with WMA files copied from a Windows XP PC (may not be the finest format, but I'm still learning and can re-shred later). 2) Downloaded OpenLink firmware available from http://linkstationwiki.org/Projects/OpenLink. Had to rename filename.tar.tar to filename.tar.gz on the Windows PC before using file manager to copy to SHARE area on LinkStation. Reflashed the LinkStation with the OpenLink Firmware - this enabled Telnet and gave Perl 5.8.7, but no indication of root access - telnet sessions did not ask for a username or password. 3) Downloaded the SlimServer software from http://slimdevices.com/su_downloads.html, labeled "Perl Source Code (tar.gz)". Changed directory to the network share "tar xzvf name-of-downloaded-file" Moved the directory "mv name-of-downloaded-file /mnt/slimserver" Create directory for slimserver files "mkdir /mnt/slim-server" Go to the correct directory "cd /mnt/slimserver" Run "./slimserver.pl --daemon --prefsfile /mnt/slim-data/slimserver.pref --cachedir /mnt/slim-data" BUT The following modules failed to load: DBD::SQLite XML::Parser HTML::Parser Compress::Zlib Now not sure what to do next (VMS & Windows - ok, but Linux poor ...) - an advice please ? -- NigelW ------------------------------------------------------------------------ NigelW's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6167 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25002 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
