[Freedombox-discuss] Automatic PlugServer Configuration on DreamPlug

Hi folks, just wanted to let you know my test results from using my
automatic setup scripts on the DreamPlug I recently bought [0].

First, be smarter than I was and realize that you're not working with a
standard system, it's a strange combination of Debian Lenny and Debian
Stable.  Don't run ``apt-get dist-upgrade`` unless you know what you're
doing [1].

It worked pretty well, but it's not a fresh Squeeze install.  The
domain-name related settings, in particular, needed tweaking.  Also, the
DreamPlug comes with 2 more IP addresses than originally expected.  I've
corrected for that, best I'm able, though that'll still need manual
tweaking.

Overall, not as smooth as I'd hoped, you'll need to refer to the manual
more often than never, but those are acceptable results for a new,
unsupported environment.

Nick

1: It seems like the system can't boot because the bootloaded needs to
   be reflashed (??).  I haven't worked with the JTAG enough yet to
   debug my issue, but I might've been confusing the DreamPlug with the
   GuruPlug while testing, originally.
