Hi guys,
Adrian has kindly let me borrow one of his Wizards for a couple of
weeks, so I spent most of this arvo getting it installed.
I've made a tarball of a bare bones debian image, and a kernel that is
setup for the Wizard. They are at http://davidb.ucc.asn.au/wizard/
Run the specific kernel. 2.4-bf was showing 49 bogomips. This kernel on
the same wizard is running at 463 bogomips. Yes, that's almost an order
of magnitude.
There are a quick couple of things you will want to do to the tar image:
- Edit lilo.conf to make sure that it is pointing towards the correct
target. It's writing to /dev/sda at the moment because of a USB caddy
I was using
- Edit /etc/fstab to set the mount points correctly, and to set from
ext2 to whatever filesystems you are running
- Run lilo
HTH,
David
