Talk:Compile the Firmware
ok so far I got the virtual box installation done, it's not with a graphical interface (Debian) but something text based as GUI
on the part of installing packages via package manager, I would like some more visual feedback
the command line variation is :
apt-get install ntpdate make gcc autoconf libtool bison gettext gawk
the linux-header-... I do not understand as 'uname -a' gives a large text, what part is needed? just something like
apt-get install linux-header-2.6.26-2-686
(tried numerous variations all give "couldn't find package ...") --Admin2 17:58, 26 June 2009 (CEST)
all right. 'uname -a' is only used to find out your kernel version. if you installed newest version of debian lenny 'linux-headers-2.6.26-2-686' is your package. why you didn't install a desktop like gnome or kde? than you can use the gui of packagemanager (synaptic) which also includes a search function. --Jo-master 21:04, 30 June 2009 (CEST)
Hi Jo-master, I got stuck at the "installing Debian"
- open a root-console = OK
- create a new mount-folder: mkdir /media/vbox/ = OK
- mount your share-folder: mount -t vboxsf AllData /media/vbox/ : error: unknown filesystem vboxsf
if I change vboxsf to reiserfs I get: device AllData does not exist (which I added in the VM menu down-right "indicates the ...") --Admin2 14:47, 18 July 2009 (CEST)
Have you done the previous step? 'now click on the menu of your running VM window and install the additional VirtualBox-Tools '
This is important to install the virtualbox-tools (also the vboxsf-filesystem) --Jo-master 17:24, 18 July 2009 (CEST)
Yes, all other steps have been implemented --Admin2 17:57, 18 July 2009 (CEST)
Also: I cannot edit file /usr/src/linux-ixp425/drivers/ixp4xx/ixp400/ixp400_xscale_sw because it is a folder
