Off to the tailgate baby
Time to clinch the division on the home turf of a rival
Im sure this thread will get blown up by 100's of people if GB loses, I expect nothing less from this site.
Its amusing, I have been told by a few people on the site that I deserve what I get. I deserve all the bashing and the insults.
In my opinion, thats exactly what is wrong with the world. People wonder why their is theft, robberies, murders. Its for this exact thinking and acting by people of the world.
I deserve all the insults and statements I get on this site???/
Really??? Why????
Because I am a homer??? Because I am bias??? Because I refuse to admit GB got beat last year by the Giants instead of handing them the game???
I deserve it because of that??? WOW???
I dont judge people I have never met in person, let alone from something they type on a gambling site. Yet, everybody else does.
I have been told that I do the same to others.
ONE TIME last year, 11 months ago I lost my cool on this site. Havent done anything since.
I have been told that when I mock someone betting the Bears with a That is the same as a personal insult.
So I guess, when someone says....
Bet the Bears this is a must win.....and i reply....
Or...The Line means the Bears will win...and i reply
I guess those all do compare to these statements made on this thread from others towards me,.....
"wow, what a total smug douche you are. Hate rooting against people, but I will suuuuurely root against you and hope you lose it all!!! What a clown!"
"You have to be the dumbest covers poster of all time. No1 believes your bullshit fabrications. How many of these threads need to blow up in your face until you realize you are a complete jackazz. "
"This thread just proves how big of a douche you are "
"This guy spews more horsecrap out of his mouth than his azz"
"You gotta be the biggest tool in the real world. Cant imagine you have any friends."
"You are a fu*king moron "
Congrats GB backers
GB looked like they were trying to lose that game at the end.
Cant wait to catch up on the board on the comments from the game.
Bad missed call their on Shields at the end, but GB dominated that entire game.
I wonder if the people complaining about that, mention the call Jeffries got when he grabbed Shields mask and threw him out of bounds??? Next play instead of 1st and 25, they throw a bomb to GBs 5.
Marshall and Jeffries push off every week, and they finally get called for it.
Should have been a blowout. AR missed a wide open Cobb for a TD, and 2 missed kicks again by Crosby. He needs to be cut, sign Rackers. Thats atleast 10 points right there.
Bears only scored in the 2nd half because of a 55 yd flag, and THE WORST PLAY CALL EVER on the punt play. That was 6 free points for Chicago.
Score EASILY could have been 31-7
Not bad for the awful GB defense everyone was talking about.
Congrats to those who bet GB, despite the line, depsite a must-win for Chicago.
Pack clinch the division, Bears miss the playoffs even after 7-1 start
Merry Christmas
Locked and Loaded....I expect it will be atleast 4 by kickof
Steve and.....
That was probably the worst play I have seen run since McCarthy has been here.
It was 7 mins left, the Bears had 1 timeout and down 11 points. Cobb should have just called for a fair-catch, let alone try to run a trick play like that.
Luckily for GB, the D played awesome today
Matthews completely changes that defense when he plays. After the 1st qtr, Chicago couldnt do anything with the ball.
They could have been shut-out in the 2nd half, if not for that punt and the 55 yd flaf down to the 5
Should have been atleast a 17+ win.....but a win is a win

They wont be back until GB loses again. Then they will bump all my old threads, even from last year.
Actually, I probably shouldnt do the anymore. I have been told by a few people on here that when I do that, that is the same thing as a personal attack on someone and the same thing as calling them a "douchebag, dipshit, pos, ahole, moron, maggot"
You too, have a nice holiday!! This sure will help
The Grant fumble was huge. Could have made it 24 or 28-7 there.
AR missed a wide open Cobb for an easy TD. Thats another 7.
Two easy missed kicked by Crosby. Thats another 3, 6 cause the missed TD.
So, thats ATLEAST 10 points right there, and very possibly 17 points off the board.
And yes, Chicago should not even have scored in the 2nd half.
I couldnt believe people were playing the Bears cause this was a "must-win". Every game for every playoff team is a must-win right now.
Cutler is now 1-7 against GB for a reason....Capers owns him
I hope the Packers sign Rackers. I have always like Crosby and the big leg he has, but he is missing easy kick after easy kick. Come playoff time, we need a kicker

Save your money, thank me later
Like I said....the Bears have not proven they could win an important game in 5+ years......
Hope you changed your mind
2013 Central Champs
What a great day for Packer fans, and Packer bettors
Viks have now passed the Bears in the standing after the Bears were 7-1
All the haters, all the people with insults and attacks. All the Packers suck comments and Bears will beat them. All the bumping of 11 month old threads after a Packers loss. All the Giant fans talking trash on old threads weeks after I create the thread.
All those people are nowhere to be seen??? Gone, disppear, hiding
Maybe people dont like how I go about thing, but atleast I dont run and hide when Im wrong
All those big talkers, big insults, personal attacks, persoanl judgments....and you all hide. Way to show your true colors
Like I said, Pack will win this game. They DOMINATED!!! Should have been a 17+ win. Like I said, Bears miss the playoffs and dont touch 10 wins
You all had plenty to say and plenty to insult, yet those haters are all hiding. All waiting for GB to lose again to come out and act tough again. You are who we know you are

SEOUL, South Korea — U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry delivered a stark warning to North Korea today not to test-fire a mid-range missile, while rejecting a new U.S. intelligence report suggesting significant progress in the communist regime's nuclear weapons program.
Kicking off four days of talks in an East Asia beset by increasing North Korean threats, Kerry told reporters in Seoul that Pyongyang and its enigmatic young leader would only increase their isolation if they launched the missile that American officials believe has a range of some 2,500 miles, enough to reach the U.S. territory of Guam.
"If Kim Jong Un decides to launch a missile, whether it's across the Sea of Japan or some other direction, he will be choosing willfully to ignore the entire international community," Kerry sai. "And it will be a provocation and unwanted act that will raise people's temperatures."
Kerry said the test would be a "huge mistake" for Kim.
"It will further isolate his country and further isolate his people who are desperate for food and not missile launches," he warned. "They are desperate for opportunity and not for a leader to flex his muscles."

No problem! If only unity between the Churches could be achieved that easily!
How in Mor's good nameone hundred fifty four postsNo Rachel Weisz picSelam
Well, good to have ya on OC.net.I have a question for the canon lawyers and Greek theologians among us...Why wasn't the OCA mentioned in the remembrances for the autocephalous jurisdictions in the translation offered by Fr. Dr. Chryssavagis (sp?) on EWTN or on the http://www.patriarchate.org/ website? Does the EP not recognize our autocepahly or are we considered under the MP?Ugh, please don't make this a complicated affair - I'd like it to be a clean and simple response. But knowing OC.net, that's probably not going to happen...
I believe the OCA is considered an autonomous subsidiary of Moscow by the majority of churches including of course Constantinople. Certainly a valid and legitimate church, but not autocephalous.
I don't know how really remarkable this actually is, considering the many hundreds of tourists that the Blue Mosque sees every day. I personally wasn't that impressed by it - it is a poor copy of Agia Sophia.
"Autonomous subsidiary"? I think I know what you are trying to say, but, as you probably know, such a category does not actually exist in the canonical tradition. More importantly, such is not the official stance of the ancient Sees regarding the autocephaly of the OCA. The Patriarchs of Constantinople, Alexandria and Jerusalem (along with their Synods) condemned the unilateral autocephaly of the OCA when Moscow issued it as uncanonical and unacceptable. Since that time, we've enjoyed a sort of unofficial detente, but most Orthodox Churches still do not recognize the OCA's autocephaly in any official way, and, thus, most Patriarchs do not commemorate Metropolitan Herman.
No, Catholic. But in college I was a member of the Orthodox Christian Fellowship, and my mentor in the history department was Prof. Florin Curta, who is Romanian Orthodox.
In nomine Iesu I offer you peace,Is there any hope in the status of the OCA changing? I personally have great affection for several Fathers in OCA Parishes I attend Vespers at.Pax
Change as in the OCA getting themselves fully excommunicated, that's feasible, basically their status as 'canonical' is at the mercy of the Moscow Patriarchate. As a metropolis of Moscow in the eyes of they Church, they are subject to the will of said Patriarch.If you mean change as in becomming recognized by the Ancient Patriarchates, let's just say that the odds of a restoration of communion between Old and New Rome is probably more likely.
Would this by any chance be the same Florin Curta as the philologist and disciple of Rosetti who wrote a rather appalling book on the history of Romanian where only Dacian Continuity Theory was taught and none of the significant competing models were mentioned at all? If so, I didn't know he lived in the U.S., as while this historical grammar was published by a minor American university press, I thought his work was mainly at the Academia Romana in Bucharest.
In nomine Iesu I offer you peace GreekisChristian,So would you say it would be 'much safer' to be Greek Orthodox than say OCA in America?Pax
No, it's Florin Curta the historian and archaeologist. He teaches at the University of Florida. He wrote a well-received book called The Making of the Slavs: History and Archaeology of the Lower Danube Region, c. 500-700 A.D.
Change as in the OCA getting themselves fully excommunicated, that's feasible...
In nomine Iesu I offer you peace GreekisChristian,So would you say it would be 'much safer' to be Greek Orthodox than say OCA in America?
Just what Orthodoxy needs, a good Schism to accomplish what the Communists could not.
Pay no attention to GiC here, francis! He's being his usual inflammatory self!
While the OCA is not officially recognized as autocephalous by most Orthodox Churches, in reality it is still in communion with them as part of SCOBA; and thereby enjoys tacit acceptance in many ways.
I don't really think that the Church in America is significant enough for a localized schism to have any real impact on the Church, we're still too small.
Hundreds of thousands of Romanians come to the U.S. to work for a while and make a killing before heading back. While not all are church-goers, surely those who couldn't find a place to worship in the U.S. (since most Romanian churches are under the OCA) would protest, sending ripples though the Church in the old country?
And what exactly does SCOBA have to do with Canonicity, or any other ecclesiastical decision for that matter, other than the 'C' in the name?
I couldn't agree more!
"the muslim scum" how is that diffferent from the extremists on the muslim side?? It is the same hate.
'I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice! And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue!'
Meh....The "liberty" most people want is the kind that lets them become slaves to their passions.And I guess we no longer have any need for God since we are going to seek justice ourselves.Sounds like Christianity with neither the Cross nor Christ.....
I know you don't like Catholicism or the Pope; you know you don't like them either. Leave the colorful condemnations out please. - Cleveland, GM.[/b]
What? Why do you object to the acronym for "Person of Suspect"?
So, this catholic does nothing that could be construed as a religious act while in Agios Sophia, but walks across the street to the Blue Mosque and prays with the Muslim(s).
Thank you Barry Goldwater and that quote helped quite a lot in that election! LOL

Revision as of 12:49, 17 January 2012
This guide will explain how to install Debian GNU/Linux "Squeeze" on the LinkStation™ LS-CHLv2 using the Debian "debootstrap" procedure. The original kernel will be preserved, as well as the original bootloader (U-Boot).
This document is largely based on material from Debian Lenny on LS-WXL with a sprinkling of stuff from elsewhere including Debian_Squeeze_on_'V'_and_'X'_Series_(LS-WXL_and_others); you may find these other pages help clarify steps here if you get stuck. These other Linkstation models are close relatives of the LS-CHLv2, so their instructions are very similar.
After my success in getting Squeeze on the LS-CHLv2 I found Debian Squeeze on LS-WXL which looks to be based on the above Lenny document; I don't know which is more complete, nor whether Debian Squeeze on LS-WXL makes this document rather redundant - you may wish to use the forums to tell others which guide(s) you use and how successful they are.

- replace the old filesystem with a new Debian system.
- boot into this new system which will have a Debian system but still using the Buffalo kernel+modules
- build a new kernel+ modules
- replace the Buffalo kernel & modules
Requirements, Background info, Warnings
Note that I dismantled my Linkstation so I could connect the hard drive to my [Linux] PC - this made it easier to deal with replacing filesystems etc. - in particular I didn't need to bother creating custom initrd files (tricky); re-reading the source documents mentioned above (esp. re. Lenny) it is possible to achieve a Squeeze installation without dismantling the device, but I wouldn't count on it: This guide is relatively complex and even if you try to avoid it, there's a fair chance you'll need to dismantle the Linkstation to access the drive like this anyway - perhaps to complete a step described here, perhaps to recover from a step that went wrong. Dismantling the device does of course void your warranty and could break your device, lose your data etc. If dismantling the device worries you, I recommend not following this guide.
I strongly suggest that you should be comfortable with Linux and working at its command-line before attempting to use this guide - including being able to create or edit a file with vi or nano. You should also be comfortable with taking apart your Linkstation to access the hard disk and connect it directly to your PC. If you're not comfortable with using Linux like this then there's a fair chance you'll brick (destroy) your Linkstation, and you'll also end up with a device that lacks most of the functionality you started with - so please only try this if you know why you'd want to install Debian in the first place, and if you know how to install packages etc to achieve your goals on it once you've finished.
This guide will ask you to reformat partitions, delete existing data, etc. All of these actions may void your warranty, destroy your data and risk other bad consequences etc. In general you can receive help from the community or from the Buffalo forums but bear in mind that every problem you may encounter is ultimately up to you to solve. You do it at your own risk.
At present, the resulting Debian Squeeze installation results in the fan running at full speed - I've not yet tried working with blstools etc to see if I can tweak this to make it less noisy (it makes a lot of noise at full speed).
I'm not a kernel hacker, so writing this guide took me out of my comfort zone. Some of the steps here may in fact be unnecessary incantations - but I don't want to go back and start it all from scratch to check. Hopefully others (you?) will update this wiki page to remove or cross out unnecessary steps. Given that this was a learning experience for me too I've added explanations of what's going on in a number of steps which may be helpful for some, annoyingly verbose for others.
Key Linkstation LS-CHLv2 features/quirks
Unlike PC-based Linux, the Linkstation uses a system called uBoot for startup. This has its own way of doing things; on this wiki and in the forums people have discovered some of its Linkstation-specific features & quirks. A particularly useful quirk is that an empty initrd in /boot causes the device to boot from the root partition: This is much easier to manipulate than generating an initrd for the device and this is used as a handy trick in the instructions below. The other thing to be aware of is that files for uBoot require special headers for them to be usable: The instructions below include the steps to generate these.
GPT / GUID partitioning
The device uses the GUID / GID approach to disk partitioning. Therefore tools like Linux's fdisk won't be able to manipulate the disk. Other tools like parted can however make sense of it. You need to stick to using this partitioning method because that's what the firmware will expect. The major advantage of this approach is that it allows use of larger hard disks that wouldn't be usable with the old MBR approach. I'm reasonably happy with Buffalo's default partitioning scheme: Both ext3 (for boot and root filesystems) and xfs (for the data area) are tried and tested filesystem implementations, so I see no need to alter their types. You could potentially adjust partition sizes, but I think Buffalo's chosen good sizes already. The one thing I do change is to mount the data partition as /home, which is more intuitive from a Linux perspective than /mnt/disk1.
Described elsewhere on the wiki in more detail, but key features are: ARM Kirkwood processor, 128 MByte RAM, 2 ethernet ports (only one installed), serial port (not enabled), indicator LED blue/red switchable; front function button, rear on/auto/off switch. Time is not stored between reboots, so ntpd is helpful to keep the time.
Although the device has 128MByte of memory, by the time Debian gets to see it, there's only 50 MByte. I think this is due to the firmware / uBoot setting aside half of the memory for a ramdisk, uBoot reserving a couple of MByte for itself that it doesn't give back, and presumably there's memory taken away for some other stuff too. It may be possible to adjust the uBoot setup to stop it taking away so much memory. Given that Debian recommends 64MByte as a minimum memory requirement, only having 50 MByte is annoying to say the least, esp. when physically there's 128MByte in the device.
I've found that using the ramdisk memory for /tmp by mounting it as tmpfs is unreliable (at least in debootstrap-derived Debian mode; poss. not once you've completed this guide and have pure Debian), leading to memory errors for big tasks (like the step to apt-get the kernel sources). I understand tmpfs to merge the ramdisk with any available swap space and to 'do the right thing'. Given the memory errors encountered, I feel it's safer just to use swap space as needed, not merged with the ramdisk, and to have /tmp as just an ordinary directory in the root filesystem (or you may prefer to alter /tmp to live on the larger data partition instead).
I think it should be possible to setup the ramdisk as swap space, and give it priority over the disk-based swap. This would be an improvement. I've not tried this.
The Lenny-on-LS-WXL document said this which probably applies to the LS-CHLv2 too:
- Please note that the Armel Debian "micro_evtd" package will NOT work on LS-WXL because of different hardware.
This refers to the "Event Timer Daemon" [1] but that seems to be specific to PowerPC-based Linkstations, so it's not relevant to the LS-CHLv2 which is ARM-based.
This guide suggests to install blstools, a small set of utilities developed for this hardware to enable some operations which would not be possible from a plain Debian install:
- turn the unit off from the on-off-auto switch
- turn unit blinking LEDs to still blue when boot is complete
- resume blinking when the unit is shutting down
- use the USB port
Preliminary steps
Obtain root access to the linkstation
You need to get telnet and/or ssh access to your Linkstation. My preference is ssh, and I felt most comfortable taking apart the Linkstation to achieve this; my guide to this is here; it mentions other possibilities there, or you may have success with guides like these: Open_Stock_Firmware_LS-WXL or this guide to SSH as root to the LS (I've not checked if these work for the LS-CHLv2; there may be alternative versions of these instructions for the LS-CHLv2 elsewhere on this wiki; I've also provided some possible alternative links in my guide.
Backup the LS
If you have any important data on the LS you definitely need to make a backup.
Even if you don't, you'd better take a snapshot of the vital disk partitions (first and second partition). So you will be able to easily revert to the original stock distribution. One approach is in [forum post]; alternatively if you have got ssh access to the Linkstation you can use Clonezilla to make a space-efficient backup of it; or for a further alternative, if you dismantle your Linkstation for ssh setup you can rsync etc. the partitions then (and separately backup data not in partitions like the MBR area) - that's covered in the ssh guide mentioned above. An rsync-style backup of the boot and root partitions is particularly handy to refer back to after converting your Linkstation to Debian, particularly if you find yourself tweaking the device further; it also makes it easier to revert the Linkstation to its stock setup which could be necessary - if only temporarily - if you wish to mess around with the firmware or uBoot stuff.
Prepare a Debian root filesystem
This is derived from original debootstrap docs.
Login to the Linkstation with ssh or telnet as root.
Enable the 'ar' utility, assuming it doesn't already exist: This functionality can be provided by Busybox, already installed by Buffalo:
ln -si /bin/busybox /usr/bin/ar
We'll start by setting up a basic Debian system on the Linkstation. This will give you a half-way-house Debian installation: The kernel and associated modules will still be the original Buffalo kernel & modules. We'll come back to the kernel/modules issue later, to replace them with Squeeze. First though, let's setup our half-way-house Debian with debootstrap. Find your local debootstrap download link here and download and install accordingly. We'll work in a new directory for this purpose. E.g. for the UK,
cd /root mkdir workarea cd workarea wget http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/debootstrap/debootstrap_1.0.26+squeeze1_all.deb dpkg -i debootstrap_1.0.26+squeeze1_all.deb
Now to setup our half-way-house root filesystem we use debootstrap. You'll need to give debootstrap the address of your local Debian mirror site which you can find at http://www.debian.org/mirror/list. I've used the UK mirror in the example below,
mkdir debian-squeeze debootstrap --verbose --arch armel squeeze debian-squeeze http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/
Now go for a coffee / beer / siesta – this step takes about 20 minutes to complete and doesn't require user input. It finishes with,
I: Base system installed successfully.
We'll chroot into the debian-squeeze directory soon where we'll finish creating the new filesystem to replace the existing one. First though we'll need a copy of Buffalo's initrd image so we can extract needed files from it to keep the Buffalo kernel happy when it boots into the new half-way-house system. You may also like to take a look FYI at /etc/fstab & /etc/mtab which will form the basis of /etc/fstab on the new system,
cp -p /boot/initrd.buffalo debian-squeeze/tmp cat /etc/fstab cat /etc/mtab
Work in the new root filesystem by using chroot
We use chroot to work in the new filesystem as if it's the only thing that exists: The surrounding old Buffalo filesystem will be invisible to us whilst in the chroot; reference to "/" will in fact map to the debian-squeeze directory. Some of the steps during chroot could potentially be moved to later when we reboot the Linkstation to use the new root filesystem but I think it's better to do most of the steps now since some of them make the system easier to use later, and they need to be done at some point anyway.
chroot into the debian-squeeze directory,
LANG=C chroot debian-squeeze /bin/bash
We're now in the chroot (debian-squeeze) directory, but since we're in a chroot it will appear to be the root (/) directory.
In chroot: extract modules used by Buffalo kernel for use by the new system
Unpack initrd.buffalo. This is in uImage format, meaning that it has a 64-byte header that can be discarded. The remainder is an initrd in gzipped form,
cd /tmp dd if=initrd.buffalo of=initrd.gz ibs=64 skip=1 gunzip initrd.gz
Now extract the modules from Buffalo's initrd image to match the Buffalo kernel; we'll put these in /lib/modules, which is where the kernel will expect to find them. Note that on my system I found 2 different modules directories: 184.108.40.206 and an older 188.8.131.52-88f5182. I think the older one is redundant - I certainly didn't bother to copy it across and the Squeeze installation was successful - so it should be sufficient to just copy across the newer modules directory - which will be 188.8.131.52 if you're using the same firmware release as me, v1.56. Also FYI I omitted the MAKEDEV step mentioned in the predecessor LS-WXL document, since I believe it's no longer necessary with Debian Squeeze:
mkdir INITRD mount -t ext2 -o loop initrd INITRD cp -pR INITRD/lib/modules/126.96.36.199 /lib/modules/ umount INITRD rmdir INITRD rm initrd* cd /
In chroot: Setup /etc/fstab
Create /etc/fstab for the new filesystem to read as follows:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # file system mount point type options dump pass /dev/sda1 /boot ext3 nosuid,nodev 0 2 /dev/sda2 / xfs defaults 0 1 /dev/sda5 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/sda6 /home xfs defaults 0 2 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=4,mode=620 0 0 #tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
Esp. note /tmp commented out to avoid memory errors (esp. in hybrid setup, maybe okay once system fully converted), /boot mounted read-write - you can change it back to read-only later, and /dev/sda6 mounted as /home rather than /mnt/disk1. If however you prefer to stick to the Buffalo layout with the data area at /mnt/disk1 then adjust the fstab above (replace /home with /mnt/disk1) and create the mount point,
mkdir /mnt/disk1
In chroot: Localisation
Setup locales, at least the en_US.UTF-8 and your native language locale (e.g. it_IT.UTF-8, de_DE.UTF-8, etc),
apt-get install locales dpkg-reconfigure locales
In chroot: NTP & timezone
Setup NTP & the timezone for the new system,
apt-get install ntp dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
In chroot: Ethernet interface setup
Setup network interface (the board actually has 2 Ethernet interfaces as well as the loopback interface - one of the Ethernet interfaces eth0 is not connected / soldered on the board but is still 'seen' by Linux as a device. No point in trying to set it up though since it's not connected. Assuming you want its IP address info from DHCP, create /etc/network/interfaces as follows,
# Used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8). See the interfaces(5) manpage or # /usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples for more information. # We always want the loopback interface. auto lo iface lo inet loopback # On the LS-CHLv2 only eth1 has an RJ45 socket auto eth1 iface eth1 inet dhcp
or if you prefer having a static IP address (adjust IP values for your network),
# Used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8). See the interfaces(5) manpage or # /usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples for more information. # We always want the loopback interface. auto lo iface lo inet loopback # On the LS-CHLv2 only eth1 has an RJ45 socket auto eth1 iface eth1 inet static address 192.168.0.42 network 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255 gateway 192.168.0.1
In chroot: hostname
Create /etc/hostname,
echo yourlinkstationname > /etc/hostname
Edit /etc/hosts: Add yourlinkstationname to the 127.0.0.1 line,
127.0.0.1 localhost yourlinkstationname
In chroot: /etc/apt/sources.list setup
Apt will complain about packages without verification if this step is not performed.
Create /etc/apt/sources.list. Easiest is to visit [2] to generate a suitable file then cut and paste it to /etc/apt/sources.list - here's mine FYI,
############################################################# ################### OFFICIAL DEBIAN REPOS ################### ############################################################# ###### Debian Main Repos deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free ###### Debian Update Repos deb http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main contrib non-free deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ squeeze-proposed-updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ squeeze-proposed-updates main contrib non-free
In chroot: Perform an update
apt-get update
The final upgrade step can be performed later once the installation is finished.
In chroot: Install sshd
You will need to be able to access your new system once you start it up. Do so using ssh. You'll need sshd, the SSH server for that:
apt-get install openssh-server
If you wish to use password authentication set a root password,
Edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config and make sure that the following line is present and uncommented:
PermitRootLogin yes
If you wish to use keypair authentication make sure that the following 2 lines are present and uncommented in /etc/ssh/sshd_config:
RSAAuthentication yes PubkeyAuthentication yes
and also setup .ssh for root (your keys file will be copied in after we've left the chroot):
mkdir /root/.ssh chmod go-rwx /root/.ssh
In chroot: Cleanup
Clean up the installation
aptitude clean
Leave chroot
We've now done most of the setup of the new filesystem, although a couple of tasks still remain. We need to exit chroot to do those,
Completing the new root filesystem
ssh keypair authentication
If you're using SSH keypair authentication you need to copy root's ssh public keys into the new filesystem,
cp -p /root/.ssh/authorized_keys debian-squeeze/root/.ssh
Necessary Buffalo Incantations
You're making significant changes to the device. It may not like that and decide to sulk (= not reboot successfully). I've found having the following files in /etc (poss. also in /boot, we'll do that later) are helpful to keep things sweet,
cp -p /etc/hddrootmode debian-squeeze/etc cp -p /etc/linkstation_release debian-squeeze/etc cp -p /etc/rootfs_ok debian-squeeze/etc
Zip it up
We're done with the new filesystem. tar & gzip it,
cd debian-squeeze tar --numeric-owner -p -czf ../squeeze-armel-rootfs.tgz * cd ..
which will leave squeeze-armel-rootfs.tgz in /root/workarea. It'll take a long time (about 15 minutes), so this is a good opportunity to get a cup of tea etc., and/or do the next stop on your PC
Create an empty (dummy) initrd image
This is a useful cheat from Debian_Lenny_on_LS-CHLv2#Installing_an_empty_initrd to avoid a complex process of building custom initrd images, although you will need to open up the Linkstation to access the disk (later). The stock initrd needs to be replaced with something, otherwise the Linkstation will sulk (not [re]boot etc), but the kernel (stock or the Debian kernel we'll install later) doesn't actually need an full initrd image to boot successfully (with the possible proviso of needing an fsck).
"empty initrd" means an initrd with no filesystem. It is not an empty file.
For this you need the mkimage command. I completed this step on my Linux PC; it will probably work on the Linkstation too within the chroot.
Install the uboot-mkimage package: On a Debian/Ubuntu PC or in chroot on Linkstation,
apt-get install uboot-mkimage
or on a RedHat/CentOS etc PC,
yum install uboot-mkimage
mkdir initrd.work.area cd initrd.work.area mkdir empty cd empty find . | cpio -o -H newc > ../empty.cpio cd .. mkimage -A arm -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip -a 0x0 -e 0x0 -d empty.cpio initrd.buffalo.empty rmdir empty rm -f empty.cpio
we'll use the file initrd.buffalo.empty later; remember where it is for now.
Installing the new root filesystem & initrd image
Before proceeding, please double-check that you have a reliable backups of the Linkstation's boot and root partitions, and know how you would use these to restore the Linkstation to its original state if something goes wrong.
You could go to the trouble of building 2 separate (but very similar) custom initrd images to shoehorn into the new system without opening the case. You'd do this by adapting the instructions on this in Debian Lenny on LS-WXL, but it would be very tricky.
Much simpler I feel is to use the null initrd image just created to force use of /dev/sda2 as the root partition. To install the new root partition however you will need to take out the disk from the Linkstation and connect it to your PC
Take out the hard disk from the Linkstation
You need to take apart the Linkstation to remove the hard disk. Instructions for this are given here [3] (it's in Japanese, but just looking at the photos you can probably work out what to do - basically remove the 2 labels on the bottom of the device to reveal plastic tabs. Depress these and you should be able to pull the 2 sides apart). There's also a YouTube video of the process if you prefer. Remember to avoid static electricity to prevent damaging the device (esp. be careful not to work on synthetic carpets like nylon, that would be asking for trouble).
Connect the hard disk to your PC
I am assuming you have a PC to connect to...! At the risk of stating the obvious, make sure your PC is fully switched off before you start connecting or disconnecting the hard disk and take suitable precautations against damage to the Linkstation or your PC by static electricity. Start it up with Linux (if you don't run Linux on your desktop you could boot Ubuntu, Knoppix etc from a CDROM or DVD instead). Once the PC has started up, take a look to see what device the Buffalo disk is. Type
to list currently attached disks. Hopefully the Buffalo disk should be amongst them. The output will give you the disk device, for example /dev/sdb. I'll assume /dev/sdb for my example commands below, but proceed very carefully if yours is different since some of the commands coming up could overwrite your PCs disk partitions, destroy your PC's data and make you have a really bad day. You have been warned.
Mount points
Create 2 directories to mount the boot partition and root partition of the Linkstation:
mkdir /ls1 mkdir /ls2
Mount the Linkstation partitions (adjust /dev/sdb if your parted output showed the Linkstation disk to have a different identifier),
mount /dev/sdb1 /ls1 mount /dev/sdb2 /ls2
Check that you've got the right partitions:
ls /ls1
should show something like,
builddate.txt initrd.buffalo log.tgz u-boot.buffalo conf_save.tgz uImage.buffalo uImage.buffalo.org
esp. make sure you see initrd.buffalo, uImage.buffalo there.
Also check that /ls2 is the Linkstation root partition:
cat /ls2/etc/hostname
should give
that you set above. If either of these results differs then you may well have mounted the wrong disk and are at risk of destroying data if you proceed, in which case shutdown your PC and start this section again.
Replace initrd.buffalo image on Linkstation boot partition
Backup the existing initrd.buffalo file,
mv /ls1/initrd.buffalo /ls1/initrd.original
then put the initrd.buffalo.empty file we created earlier in its place. If you created initrd.buffalo.empty while you were in the chroot,
cp -p /ls2/root/workarea/initrd.work.area/initrd.buffalo.empty /ls1/initrd.buffalo
or if you created it on your PC,
cp -p location_on_your_PC/initrd.work.area/initrd.buffalo.empty /ls1/initrd.buffalo
Buffalo Incantations
We've already put these files in the new root filesystem; now we'll put them on the Linkstation's boot partition,
cp -p /ls2/etc/hddrootmode /ls1 cp -p /ls2/etc/linkstation_release /ls1 cp -p /ls2/etc/rootfs_ok /ls1
Copy the new filesystem's image file onto your PC
cp /ls2/root/workarea/squeeze-armel-rootfs.tgz /root
Replace the Linkstation root filesystem
Remind yourself which disk/partition holds the Linkstation's root filesystem,
mount | grep /ls2
Unmount the Linkstation's current root filesystem,
umount /ls2
Destroy the existing root filesystem (adjust /sdb2 if the Linkstation disk is not /dev/sdb - use whatever you had mounted as /ls2 above). Take care to choose the correct partition to avoid destroying your PC's data,
mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb2
Mount the now-empty Linkstation root partition (adjust sdb if it's different on your system),
mount /dev/sdb2 /ls2
Check it is indeed empty (or just has lost+found directory),
ls /ls2
Populate /ls2 with the new root partition we generated earlier,
tar xzf /root/squeeze-armel-rootfs.tgz -C /ls2
Take a look to see that /ls2 does look populated,
ls /ls2
Rebuild your Linkstation & reboot
Now rebuild your Linkstation & try starting it. It should start up with the new system, although it will still be using the old Buffalo kernel. We'll fix that next. If it you can't connect to it I suggest you try these troubleshooting tips to get the Linkstation to boot.
You'll probably find that the indicator light constantly flashes blue. I recommend moving the On/Auto/Off switch to Off. This won't turn off the device, but it will stop it restarting when you issue a shutdown command. Until we've replaced the kernel (below), such a restart without a power off is likely to panic the Linkstation.
You have the option to stop at this point with this hybrid setup. You can install blstools to deal with the LED indicator lights & fan. Take care however when switching off the device: Keep the switch at Off (just briefly move it to Auto or On when switching it on); you should shutdown the device by using the shutdown command (shutdown -h now), and then take care to fully power off the device: Leaving it in standby will result in it being unable to reboot until after a full power off. Avoid those troubles by replacing the kernel (below).
Complete the Squeeze installation: Replace the kernel & kernel modules
Caution: Make sure that you have physical access to the drives and a linux box just in case you mess up with the the kernel configuration. At the moment, there is no known way of gaining root access when the device is in EM mode.
This guide describes how to compile the kernel on the Linkstation itself (slow, but more straightforward). If you prefer to cross-compile on a separate Debian PC you can find details in the [[4]] guide.
Currently the Linkstation is still running the Buffalo kernel, which may cause some instability including when using NFS, as well as preventing you from having a purely Debian system.
Connect to the new system
Having started it, login to the new hybrid system with ssh,
ssh root@linkstation_IP_address
You can see that the system is still a hybrid of a Debian system with the original Buffalo kernel:
uname -a
will show kernel version 2.6.31 (root@ubuntu) which is the Buffalo kernel.
Install Key Packages
Install a few tools - most are needed by later steps in this guide,
apt-get usbutils bzip2 psmisc smartmontools apt-get install build-essential fakeroot uboot-mkimage debhelper python libncurses5-dev
Get the kernel source code and Linkstation patches
You can carry out this step and the kernel compilation as a normal (non-root) user if you prefer.
apt-get -t squeeze source linux-2.6
Download the patch and sample config file (for linux-2.6-2.6.32-30) (although it's for the LS-WXL I think this is still useful for the LS-CHLv2):
wget http://pastebin.com/download.php?i=vFRr3zAX -O patch.lswxl wget http://pastebin.com/download.php?i=2R6sJ0ZX -O config.lswxl
Source code setup & compilation
cd linux-2.6-2.6.32 make -f debian/rules source cd debian/build/source_armel_none/
apply the necesary patches, but review them before you apply them, as the kernel patches changes every week,
patch -Np1 -i ~/patch.lswxl
cp ~/config.lswxl .config make uImage modules cp arch/arm/boot/uImage uImage.buffalo.debian make modules_install INSTALL_MOD_PATH=./modules
The final command above will take about 90 minutes.
Replace the Buffalo kernel
Login as root if you aren't already.
Copy the kernel to the boot directory, create a backup of the old version:
mv /boot/uImage.buffalo /boot/uImage.buffalo.old cp -a uImage.buffalo.debian /boot/uImage.buffalo
Install matching modules for new kernel
Copy the modules:
cp -a modules/lib/modules/2.6.32 /lib/modules
Setup /dev/rtc
(rtc = Real Time Clock) add /dev/rtc: /dev/rtc0 should already exist, so:
cd /dev ln -s rtc0 rtc
Reboot: Your system should now be fully Debianised. Check with uname once it's back up:
uname -a
which should show the kernel version as 2.6.32
Refresh any packages needing updating,
apt-get update apt-get upgrade

As told above, blstools are a set of utilities which enable LS-CHL/XHL/WXL hardware-specific features otherwise unavailable from a plain Debian Lenny installation.
In order to install the latest blstools, smartmontools is required:
apt-get install smartmontools
Download the package from the blstools project page
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/blstools/releases/blstools-0.2.0.tar.gz tar zxf blstools-0.2.0.tar.gz cd blstools-0.2.0 ./install.sh /etc/init.d/lsmonitor start
The following features are installed:
lsmonitor (/etc/init.d/lsmonitor)
This is a daemon that is automatically started when the system boots. You don't need to call it directly.
lsmonitor stops the blue led from flashing and provides a reassuring, still blue light. Also, when you move the switch in "off" position lsmonitor initiates system shutdown (which is nice isn't it?)
usb (/etc/init.d/usb)
Powers on and off the USB interface.
When you want to connect a USB disk to the Linkstation you should first call:
sudo /etc/init.d/usb start
and then you will be able to mount the USB drive to the desired location (generally, the device will be /dev/sdb1). Once done, in order to save power you can unmount the mounted volume and issue:
sudo /etc/init.d/usb stop
to disable the USB device.
NFS kernel
Note: Some export problems were encountered using this kernel. Compiling a Debian kernel is the preferred approach.
The kernel provided on this page can also be used for LS-WXL.
Download and extract kernel and modules:
wget http://downloads.buffalo.nas-central.org/Users/kenatonline/NFSKernel/nfs-kernel-feroceon-kw.tgz tar xzf nfs-kernel-feroceon-kw.tgz boot lib
Install and reboot:
mount -o remount,rw /boot mv /boot/uImage.buffalo /boot/uImage.buffalo.old cp boot/uImage.buffalo /boot/ cp -a lib/modules/18.104.22.168kenatonline /lib/modules/ reboot
Install nfs
apt-get install nfs-kernel-server nfs-common portmap
Check if server is running:
/etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server status
wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin_1.510-2_all.deb apt-get install libnet-ssleay-perl openssl libauthen-pam-perl libio-pty-perl apt-show-versions libapt-pkg-perl dpkg -i webmin_1.510-2_all.deb
For more information, please refers to Webmin to remotely administer your LinkStation
blstools Replacement
This is the replacement lsmonitor script. This uses the sysfs GPIO interface instead of the buffalo specific proc interface. Also this script monitors the temperature of both drives.

Sen. Osten among those seeking IRA for low-income workers, self-employed
Hartford — Labor advocates and state Sen. Cathy Osten, D-Sprague, announced Tuesday that they will push for a new state-administered trust fund to give low-income private sector workers and self-employed people access to an individual retirement account.
Osten said the retirement system would be based on contributions made by the workers and would not call for contributions from the state or employers. The cost to employees would be low because administrative fees would be lower than those of plans currently offered in the private market, advocates said.
The provisions in the new legislative bill would be based on Senate Bill 54 from last year, Osten said.
If passed, the new trust fund would be called the Connecticut Retirement Security Trust Fund. The proposal calls for it to be managed by a board chaired by the state treasurer and comptroller.
About 740,000 Connecticut residents are not enrolled in an employer-provided retirement plan, according to a report by the Schwartz Center for Economic Policy Analysis, cited by advocates for the plan.
Dorry Clay of Stonington, who owns a one-person graphic design company, said she has had no feasible way to save for her retirement. She said she has been an artist all her life but started the business after losing her job during the recession. She was diagnosed with cancer, which wiped out her savings.
"I don't want to have to work until I am 70 or older because I can't afford to retire," she said. "The public retirement plan is an absolute no-brainer."
Employers with five or more employees would be required to offer employees a payroll deduction option to join the trust program.
The default employee contribution would not be less than 3 percent of their salary, under the provisions of last year's bill being proposed as a model.
When asked whether the state should start up a retirement plan for private employees after managing its public pensions so poorly, Osten said yes.
"This publicly run retirement fund would not require an employer piece to it, and therefore, would not have that piece of the problem that has happened," Osten said.
The state's two main public pension systems, one for teachers and one for state employees, are funded at 55 percent and 42 percent of their anticipated obligations, respectively. Experts say pension systems should be funded at 80 to 100 percent.
Sal Luciano, executive director of the Council for the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) said the proposed public retirement plan would be at low cost to individual participants because there would be a large number of participants. Participants would have access to financial planners, he said, and would pay fees of about 0.5 percent of their retirement contributions.
He compared that to a fee of 2.6 percent for some private plans.
Joshua Gottfried, founder and principal of Gottfried & Somberg Wealth Management LLC in Glastonbury, said there are already low-cost retirement investment options such as the Vanguard 500 Index Fund, which has more than $155 billion in assets, charges 0.17 percent and has a $15 annual fee.
"Why create a new product when knowledge is what is needed?" he said. "The products already exist."
When last year's version of the bill was brought before the Appropriations Committee, several Republicans questioned why the state would create a plan when there are others already in the marketplace. They said that they would prefer the state create a marketing plan to encourage people to save for retirement instead of starting its own plan.

Boot Women's Taos Crave Taos Wheat Women's qUqOwfzI
That they all may be one (Greek: ἵνα πάντες ἓν ὦσιν, ina pantes hen ōsin) is a phrase derived from a verse in the Farewell Discourse in the Gospel of John (17:21) which says:
that they may all be one. As you, Father, are in me and I am in you, may they also be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me.
The phrase forms the basis of several ecumenical movements and united and uniting denominational traditions. It is also a common sermon topic on church unity.
The phrase is the official Samra Flat Ballet 0 Women's Black 2 Samara Yosi 7qdTwxZT of the Church of South India. The Latin version, Ut Omnes Unum Sint, is the motto of the World Student Christian Federation, the University of Mainz, the United Church of Canada and the YMCA. The Jiffy Unisex Moc White Native Fashion Stripes Shell Apollo Black Sneaker wdvR7XRq has the same motto except for a change in the place of one word: "That they may all be one."
The phrase is also the motto of the Graymoor Friars (the Society of the Atonement). They have used this phrase for over 100 years to describe the apostolate of the order. The Society of The Atonement started the worldwide observance of "The Church Unity Octave." The work of this Roman Catholic, Franciscan, religious order is Ecumenism.[1]
Pope John Paul II published an encyclical under the Latin Vulgate form of this title, Ut unum sint.
It is also one of two mottoes of Spalding Grammar School in Lincolnshire, England. It is the motto of Achimota School located in Accra, Ghana and both Strathmore School and Strathmore University in Nairobi, Kenya. St. Paul's School in Rourkela Orissa, India also bears this motto on its Badge.[2] It is also the motto of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana. Igbobi College, located in Lagos, Nigeria, also bears this motto on the school crest/badge.

Put Dover in the rear view mirror this weekend and check out a couple of destinations that are worth the trip.
WHAT "Toasting the Town," Milford's third annual St. Patrick's Day pub crawl
WHERE Downtown Milford (North, Northeast, South and Southwest Front Streets and surrounding walkable areas)
WHEN 5 p.m., Saturday
COST $15 to $20
INFO downtownmilford.org
Downtown Milford will be a sea of green Saturday as people young and old celebrate the town's third annual St. Patrick's Day pub crawl, "Toasting the Town."
Here's what to know before you go:
Tickets are wearable Participating pub crawlers can purchase a $15 T-shirt ($20 for sizes 2XL and up) from participating businesses. Throw the T-shirt on to identify yourself as a paying participant and receive in-store specials and discounts.
Tastes are regional In addition to the spirits available at most of the downtown Milford haunts, five more regional breweries and wineries will be in town as well.
Try Dogfish Head Craft Brewed Ales at Dolce Bakery & Coffee Shop on North Walnut Street or the military-inspired selections of Dover's Fordham and Old Dominion brews at Fur-Baby Boutique & Doggie Daycare located on Southwest Front Street; The Milford Senior Center on Park Avenue will be pouring wine from Selbyville's Fenwick Wine Cellars while members of the Second Street Players host Nassau Valley Vineyards at the Riverfront Theatre on South Walnut Street; Finally, Tax Chicks will be auditing anything that gets in the way of the fun that Delmar's 3rd Wave Brewing plans on bringing to their location on North Walnut Street.
Tickets are available In years past, the event has sold out and organizers expect the same this year.
"We have about 150 shirts left," said Downtown Milford Inc. Volunteer Chairwoman Sara M. Pletcher earlier this week. "Originally, all seven participants had shirts but three have sold out."
Tickets can still be purchased at Abbott's Grill, Tax Chicks, The Georgia House and online at MilfordLive.com.
"We will also sell whatever we have left Saturday night in front of the Santa House on S. Walnut Street," said Pletcher.
WHAT FAWN Delaware concert featuring 12 local singer-songwriters
WHEN 6 p.m. Saturday
WHERE Film Brothers Movie Co-op, 205 N. Market St., Wilmington
COST Free
INFO filmbrothers.com
In February, a dozen singer-songwriters accepted a challenge: pen 14 songs in 28 days. Tomorrow night, the fruits of their labors will be on display in a free concert at the Film Brothers Movie Co-Op in Wilmington.
The songs created were part of a grand effort known as "February Artist Writing Month," more commonly called FAWN for short. Each day, participating artists (it's actually a worldwide movement) posted their new tunes at fawn.org, receiving and sharing feedback.
Saturday's list of singer-songwriters will feature: Jessica Graae, Todd Chappelle, Aaron Nathans, Shane Palko, Matthew Halley, Alyssa Regan, Sarah Linde, Nathan Surles, Lori Citro and Nancy Huebner. In addition, Michael Natrin and Erin Magnin, members of the Honey Badgers folk duo, will also perform.
WHAT Delmarva Roots Film Festival
WHERE Milton Fire Hall, 116 Front St., Milton
WHEN 7 p.m., Friday
COST $3 to $5
INFO www.rehobothfilm.com
The Rehoboth Beach Film Society will present two sides of the storytelling coin Friday night with two films, highlighting two uniquely Delaware stories at the final winter installment of the Delmarva Roots Film Series.
First, watch "A Ninth Life," an 11-minute film that tells a story that only Milton-based filmmaker Pamela Preston can tell. The film chronicles the intersection of two lives: Jim and Paige. As a young reporter, Jim gets assigned a story about a baby girl who narrowly escapes death. After a couple of close calls, Jim decides to keep tabs on that baby girl, Paige, and see what happens as she grows up. But, as time goes on, Paige becomes less of a story and more of a part of Jim's life, ultimately causing him to question his belief system based on the legendary luck of nine lives.
After the fun of fiction, though, stick around for the facts. Delaware filmmaker Michael Oates has a new story to tell about Delaware's changing coastal life. One hundred years ago, the first state was home to flourishing maritime communities, whose huge harvests of Delaware Bay oysters created local legends of ship captains who lit cigars with $100 bills and bought new Cadillac's every year. Yet today's annual oyster harvest is limited to less than 15,000 bushels, with oyster beds decimated by a succession of deadly diseases and all but one of the sailing schooners gone.
Oates' film tells the story of one couple's attempts to keep some of that history alive by restoring the oyster schooner Maggie Myers. Frank Eicherly and his wife Jeanne Friend has been lovingly restoring the schooner, without the help of grants or any real outside financial contributions.
Berkana Center for Media and Education President Jeanne Covert said that each screening of the film finds people engrossed in the personal story as much as the factual history of the documentary.
"The response has been positive and at each screening, audiences have really responded to the people of the film," said Covert. "A big part of it is probably that they recognize the people and places that Michael [Oates] chronicled."
The film is 60 minutes long and a discussion with Oates will follow. To purchase advance tickets, visit www.rehobothfilm.com. Tickets will also be available at the door.
