Comment by jack snodgrass on Installing "Linux-2200" onto the IBM Netvista N2200 (8363)

I've downloaded and installed the package from #164 above. I just formatted ( using the default options
for ext2 on a Fedora 8 box ) a Kingston 2Gig Compact Flash card I got from Fry's for $15US and booted
up my NV2200 box.

I can boot to a console and login as root, but I'd like to get X running so I can use this as a X-Windows
terminal.

I can't get yast to install any packages. I get
"Installation of package ..path/to/.rpm failed
no other errors show up. I can manaully find the location that the .rpm was downloaded to on the
box and do rpm -Uhv .rpm and install it, but it won't install from yast. I'd like to install x11-org but
I will have to manually download each .rpm and install it and this thing is dog slow.... is there
a faster / better way to get X running with the suse image.

Thanks - jack

I am trying to get the dial up users to have access to another remote network but cannot seem to get it to work. Basically, Lan1=home office, Lan2=remote office. Lan1 has a static vpn connection to Lan2. Dial up users connect directly to Lan1 but cannot get any traffic to Lan2, is this just a policy that needs to be implemented or should the Nat get by this?

I think it works fine. The link is just very very slow, and can break your download.

Anyone checkout the OpenSUSE 10.3 above that Antonio Martins was so nice to supply?

When I untar it, I get one huge file, not individual files or directories. Corrupt download?

Thank you Antonio! Hope to check this out soon!

I'm Curious to know something...the ASA 5505 doesn't state any limitations on how many access-lists (security Policies for the Juniper folks) it can have. The SSG 5 is limited to 200 security policies (access-lists). For those of us that have a bigger home network this is kind of an important piece of item one should note.

There will be active development of ScreenOS all the way until 2015.. and support for ScreenOS up until 2020. The SSG5's will not be discontinued anytime soon, it is only the larger versions of the SSG family that are going to be running Junos (and this is an option and not mandatory... for example an SSG 320-M - the M stands for Multi-OS, you can pick either Junos or ScreenOS whichever you prefer). Those little boxes are pound for pound some of the best firewalls on the market.

Hi, can please someone help me? My N2200 doesn`t boot off the CF card, in boot log appears just "unable to open file. return code -1". The card is formatted in ext2 filesystem, I used the Gparted tool. Thanks for every suggestion.

How about openSUSE 10.3 on IBM Netvista N2200 ?

I have managed to do it and describe it. http://antocm.sodacaustica.net/projects.html#netvista

Now you can install what you like the most... Firefox, XFCE4 ... who knows.

I have available a tgz file that only needs to be written to a compact flash of at least 512MBytes, and off you go, openSUSE 10.3 on IBM Netvista N2200.

Hope you like the work.
