Home / Other I-Appliances / MSN Companion IA-1 Workstation Image

IA-1 Workstation Image (modified 0 times) sevenn Profile I've been working on a workstation image based on wes's buildkit. So far, I've removed some of the less functional programs and added/upgraded to the following. pdksh 5.2.14 (vi command line editing/tab completion in the default profile :D) vim 6.1 openssh 3.1 (ssh and scp) nmap2.54 (nmapfe also, but the font is pretty nasty) a great graphing calculator I've also changed changed a few of the terminal settings and such. Hopefully someone will find this usefull. The image can be found at: http://www.sevenn.net/ia-1/workstation.img 03-30-2002 03:24:21

RE:IA-1 Workstation Image (modified 0 times) radarman Profile How much room did you have left over? Also, and I know this is a pretty tall request, but would you be willing to do a "custom" image? I like the slimmed up image, but I miss xmms and the mixer. I would think that getting rid of a lot of the extra apps in the original image should have left a fair amount of room. Would you be willing to create that workstation image with: (-) nmap (-) openssh (assuming ssh is still present) (-) ti85 emulator (+) xmms (+) mixer and, if you can, some true-type fonts? I think the midori homepage gives a link on where to obtain the basic web fonts from Microsoft. The end result, I think, would be quite useful. (and the true-type fonts would make Opera look a *lot* better.) 03-30-2002 16:09:49

RE:IA-1 Workstation Image (modified 0 times) sevenn Profile I've just released an updated version which includes support for the internal modem and ppp. Like the previous image it can be found at http://www.sevenn.net/ia-1/workstation.img The following have been added: Kernel 2.4.18 LtModem Drivers 6.00c2 eznet cu To set up ppp simply edit /tmp/config/eznet.conf and /tmp/config/ppp.resolv.conf, freeze then reboot. Chose "Dial Up" from the the network menu and "Hang Up" to disconnect. You can also talk directly to the modem by chosing "Modem Terminal" in the Utilities menu. I plan on making the configuration and dialing more elegant with a cgi and/or a frontend for eznet. Re; request for custom image I plan on making a few more images after cleaning up the ppp setup..well see :) 03-30-2002 19:54:08

RE:IA-1 Workstation Image (modified 0 times) MercenaryForHire Profile got PPP? Glad you do. I'll flash it on my IA-1 and give you some feedback. From the sounds of it, it's still not a "user-friendly" configuration though. :) Merc 03-30-2002 23:41:39

RE:IA-1 Workstation Image (modified 0 times) MercenaryForHire Profile Hmm. Network->Dial Up = no dialing. I can talk to it via CU (but the damned thing doesn't understand &M0 for some reason - modem screeches at 2:26am are a BAD thing) but it won't dial via the shortcut. I assume that when editing the eznet.conf you get rid of the leading spaces and the O, right? So, my conf is this: lname passwd 1234567 *no dashes, right?* service ia1 *or is this line unneccessary?* and the same for the ppp.resolv.conf file right? search domain.name.here nameserver 123.456.78.90 The modem does work. Just might be a shortcut issue. Merc 03-31-2002 00:40:17

RE:IA-1 Workstation Image (modified 0 times) LasersInTheJungle Profile =) The zeros are the record number.. eznet doesn't really expect you to hand edit the .conf file and it supports multiple dialup accounts.. I'm not certain how sevenn wanted you to edit it.. but you can use "eznet --help" to see the options/examples. 03-31-2002 01:01:31

RE:IA-1 Workstation Image (modified 0 times) sevenn Profile The first two fields are meant to stay. I know this seems illogical, but thats eznet's format. I plan on adding a cgi to write the file, so this wont be an issue soon. I made a test user "ia1test" with the password "ia1pass" on my dialup server (7428868), dialed in and posted this reply. Here is my config :) @ia-1:/tmp/config> cat eznet.conf 0 user ia1test 0 password ia1pass 0 phone 7428868 0 service ia1 @ia-1:/tmp/config> cat ppp.resolv.conf search elmnet.net nameserver 206.26.221.2 nameserver 65.171.196.240 @ia-1:/tmp/config> (and now ill delete the user :p) 03-31-2002 01:32:12

RE:IA-1 Workstation Image (modified 0 times) sevenn Profile I've just released a new version it can be downloaded at http://www.sevenn.net/ia-1/sevenn-workstation.img and a complete list of features can be found at http://www.sevenn.net/ia-1/sevenn-workstation.html New Features ppp now configured via cgi usb serial support - ideal for dumb terminal/gps tinyirc Planned Features orinoco usb adapter support w/war driving utils icons 03-31-2002 06:29:56

RE:IA-1 Workstation Image (modified 0 times) winglian Profile Is there a possibility of a bare linux OS with X and the Citrix ICA client with USB NIC modules ? This would mak for a "perfect" thin client replacement if it would connect to a Citrix server. Also the RDP client (with the updates) from rdesktop.org would be great too. please help wing 04-19-2002 07:57:33

RE:IA-1 Workstation Image (modified 0 times) rbnoggin Profile | Email sevenn....would you be willing to share your kernel config file? also any additional patches you applied to the kernel.....? Thanx.... 04-22-2002 19:25:09

RE:IA-1 Workstation Image (modified 0 times) coughcoughhack Profile Thanks for the excellent image! Would you consider releasing a new version with some of the fixes suggested in other posts? Specifically: 1) Change /tmp/config/etc/mtab to a symbolic link to /proc/mounts 2) Fix /sbin/init as per neptune's suggestion to move network start and portmap lines before the call to /usr/sbin/init which runs XFinit (this will allow users to configure automatic mounts at startup) 3) Add neptune's backlight screen saver daemon (ia1blssd) 4) Remove dillo and nmap and add xmms and mixer (if they fit) as radarman requested in an earlier reply. 5) Remove some cruft like /tmp/config/oldmenu and /tmp/config/profile.bak 6) Is there a way to change the default background image? Thanks again for an excellent image. This really makes the IA-1 a fun machine to hack and use. 06-08-2002 20:55:32

RE:IA-1 Workstation Image (modified 0 times) skiguy09 Profile I tried to configure the scripts exaclay as shown (buy with my own dns, username, password and phone number). No luck!

RE:IA-1 Workstation Image (modified 0 times) geo_fr Profile hi to modify a midori image, you must use the dev kit and build your own... good luke --== Geo ==-- 02-19-2004 06:22:00

RE:IA-1 Workstation Image (modified 0 times) skiguy09 Profile Im not trying to modify the image!!! Im trying to configure PPP and when I click "dial up" nothing happens. Im trying to see how I can access the internal already built in CGI script to configure the IA-1 02-22-2004 12:47:28

RE:IA-1 Workstation Image (modified 0 times) geo_fr Profile try to search into the IA1 the ppp conf file, and all conf file and modify them and don't miss to freeze the configuration otherwise it will become at the last state at the next reboot --== Geo ==-- 02-23-2004 02:18:45

RE:IA-1 Workstation Image (modified 0 times) skiguy09 Profile I already tried that (I mentioned that in my orignal post). Do you have a distro that is known to work with PPP/Modems or know how to access the CGI script to configure the PPP. Anyone???? 02-24-2004 23:32:26
