Cheers for your help, i think i will need to look at this with the light of day. One last thing, how do i know which processor the linkstation has to choose which version of the firmware i need?
I've flashed mine to the Openlink firmware with no problems. IIRC you can reset the 'system' by re-flashing if you mess up the Server install. I haven't installed a server yet as the Twonky installer didn't work automatically and then i decided the linkstation worked just fine as a shared network folder. From what I've read my LS has a slightly different file structure to some of the instructions for installing Twonky. I'm not sure if that will make a difference to the Slimserver install as well or not.
The bash-2.05 prompt means you've flashed successfully and are inside the linkstation operating system. Now follow the guide for setting up a root password and SSH access, then the one linked to earlier for installing the Slimserver software. I'm probably going to start again as I think I messed up somewhere and lost Telnet access. The LS is still working fine though. http://linkstationwiki.net/index.php?title=The_LinkStation_firmware_flasher
One step forward and i have now got stuck again, grrr
I need to uncompress the perl file, so typed
tar xzvf perl-5.8.5-linkstation.tar.gz
but get the following error.
tar (child): perl-5.8.5-linkstation.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directo
ry
tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
bash-2.05a#
bash-2.05a#
However the file is there, so i have no idea what to do now.
