00:36 _undo_ Greetings
00:40 _undo_ there's a nice command, called 'touch'
00:45 _undo_ it creates a new file or update the timestamp(s)
00:47 _undo_ what about the BL checksums? can linux do that?
00:47 _undo_ boot-loader
00:48 _undo_ SPI is fast, isn't it?
00:48 _undo_ what about XIP?
00:49 _undo_ and a lot of unused memory
00:49 _undo_ nearly nothing
00:49 _undo_ ArmHardFloatPoint
00:51 _undo_ rabeeh: 4MB is very tidy
00:52 _undo_ eXecute In Place (XIP), as far as i understand, needs and uncompressed kernel >3.5MB
00:53 _undo_ to store on the internal flash memory
00:53 _undo_ where it makes sense
00:53 _undo_ SPI is fast
00:53 _undo_ and all the rest of the memory is .. free
00:53 _undo_ unused
00:54 _undo_ that's a server option :)
00:59 _undo_ i mean more
01:01 _undo_ before preparing a server kernel, erm.. dt, or more ram? whatsover, you want to serve!!
01:02 _undo_ as 'nas', as 'cloud' on your own :) !?
01:03 _undo_ nas is general sppeaking, what's a cloud?
01:03 _undo_ does it depend on javax?
01:04 _undo_ i'm tired
01:16 _undo_ a router should be the master of (at least two) networks. there's no need to encrypt in a local network, except for paranoid.
01:20 _undo_ well.. i don't know. but that's the general rules.
01:28 _undo_ a router divides those netwoeks, that's his job, there's no more configuration!
01:28 _undo_ so..
01:28 _undo_ the servers
01:30 _undo_ TrivialFTP or NetworkFS?
01:30 _undo_ T T T T T T T T
01:30 _undo_ hehe
01:31 _undo_ cool! there's no limit. i'm stuck with boot.
01:33 _undo_ before come to Cubox, I had the same on x86 with GrUB
01:33 _undo_ BOOOT
01:40 _undo_ be strong
01:40 _undo_ i don't want to heart.. it's .. my art.
01:45 _undo_ i don't know more about those T T T issues
02:02 _undo_ see setup pxe boot
02:03 _undo_ or..
02:03 _undo_ skip that
02:03 _undo_ and use the Cubox installer
02:04 _undo_ you can load from nfs directly, without the need of the dhcp server setup
02:06 _undo_ if it has to be loaded over network
02:07 _undo_ uBoot can load over serial line after bootstrap
02:08 _undo_ where the cable's connected
02:11 _undo_ in my vision the 'installer' boots into an operating system, thus it has to be renamed, if it can
02:11 _undo_ i do
02:11 _undo_ more wikis?
02:12 _undo_ i do it on arm, pc, etc
02:14 _undo_ the finest way is with dmsetup
02:14 _undo_ the esieast with aufs
02:15 _undo_ ro fs - no harm(power loss, etc)
02:16 _undo_ playground ram - like router os
02:23 _undo_ like a liveCD - rename the installer
02:26 _undo_ i asked shesselba, if this is or can be implemented in the bootloader. i think so, for sure it's possible with an inital ram disk.
02:34 _undo_ well, i never got an answer :)
02:39 _undo_ loop mounting is a tratidional unix .. thing, since 1970
02:40 _undo_ i'm 1980 :)
04:23 _undo_ now we've passed 2012, and the next release is.. 13.04 or similar
04:25 _undo_ the next snapshot from the build daemon(s)
04:27 _undo_ so every distribution has its arm ports?
04:28 _undo_ mmh
04:29 _undo_ 'many developers'
04:34 _undo_ amd the hard-float versions from any distribution are compatible with the cCuBox v1 and v2
