6000 - Tosa / SL6000l with full"/" file system
« on: November 09, 2004, 12:44:31 pm »
Folks;
Objective: get back to a clean baseline.
Objective2: install SSH, Kismet,
Background: I started playing with this 6000L by installing 'QConsole'. That was the last package that installed sucessfully. I have tried a number of others that always fail with some missing dependancy.
Kismet requires libncurses5 which requires something else I assume "ipkg says something went wrong"?.
I tried libc6 but was told that I had to remove a number of libraries to do the update. Looking at the list of libraries, I decided the system would be dead if I removed those libraries and I wouldn't be able to run any dynamicly linked commands during the install.
So after all this mucking about, I think I have left a bunch of partial installs laying about, and '/' is now full.(this is the "internal flash?").
Might it be easier to put the packages I have downloaded out onto the SDCard, and then try to completly reinitialize the OS from the ROMs? If so, how is that done?
