Introduction

This is the base setup. All other addons will start with this setup.

Installing th Unslung firmware

Visit www.nslu2-linux.org and download unslung. Follow the instructions and install the firmware. Follow the instructions in the readme to unsling the firmware.

Before we reboot after the unsling process we need to set the root password. So type the following.
> passwd > cp /etc/passwd /share/hdd/conf/passwd

Ok, now reboot the SSLU2. Once done than we can start having fun.

Setup and Install the Basics

We need to install some basic packages.

• Lets upgrade everything
  > ipkg update
  > ipkg install unslung-feeds
  > ipkg update
  > ipkg upgrade
  > reboot
• First we need ssh access.
  > ipkg install dropbear
  > reboot
• Install some unix utils
  > ipkg install coreutils
• Install bash
  > ipkg install bash
• We need nano
  > ipkg install nano
• I need NFS
  > ipkg install portmap
  > ipkg install nfs-utils
  We now need to edit /opt/etc/exports to meet our needs. Since I use Mac OS X I needed to add the insecure option to the lines.
• Lets install perl. This will take some time.
  > ipkg install perl
• Now for php
  > ipkg install php
  > ipkg install php-gd
  > ipkg install php-mbstring
  > ipkg install php-pear
• Now to install rsync.
  > ipkg install rsync

Conclusion

That should do it for a base setup.
