Hi all
After finding this board and having to read a lot i've managed a lot with my Airlive WMU-6500FS.
But there are still more questions than answers.
I am everything but a linux expert....
But I managed to set up my Dreambox and my dBox2, so a low skill in linux is available to me.
I want my 6500FS to replaye my PC (acting as a server).
Setting up several shared directories with the 'basic' firmware was not possible.
So i've installed JKR's updates and got the NFS server running.
I've allso been able to install mlDonkey and MC (looks like the former Norton Commander I know from my MSDos time *g*)
And now some of my questions...
Do I have to update my firmware to b2 (installed) or b4 (newest one) before installing JKR's updates?
Or do those updates have the actual firmware installed?
Installing a new firmware caused lot of trouble every time I've tried that by the WebUI.
I had to reset several times via the program provided with my box, then start a new instance of that program and update by that new instance.
Sometimes it worked - sometimes not (just killing the window / box without any activity on the LED panel and still having the old software after reboot)
How do I setup an NFS client on my windows pc's.
Programs are available (server is acting as a NFS server)
group and passwd taken from the 6500FS or how should I set up that to create accounts for several pc's?
How can I permanently (boot resistant) add users and rights for NFS on the 6500FS?
- I want my dBox to use 6500FS for recordings and MP3 storage and CIFS of FTP are much too slow
- I want to mount more than one directory at the same time (doesn't work with the official firmware)
Is it normal, that my external hard drives are not recognized under ext2 (3???)
I've put the internal 6500FS HDD with my first tries in an external case and connected it to the USB slot.... Nothing found?

No HDD connected?

Very Strange!!!
FAT and FAT32 work, NTFS makes problem (writing is impossible, but that was documented here), and speed is in every case quite bad (1 MB/s is maximum when copying files from USB-HDD to internal HDD)
Anyway, this is a really great board and without it I'ld have sent back my 6500FS after less than a week....
