As is. How do I rate this forum, from 1 to 10? I give it 20!!
Yes double its value. Thanks. I will follow with my question next. But 1rst some suggestions for possible improvement. I am a user that loves to follow rules. Admin please let me know if I violate any of forum rule. I am new user, I do not intent to ask forum to be like I want. But I love to provide my experience.
1rst suggestion is that in 1rst page of forum, 1rst are should display a where to start for newbies.
2nd suggestion, a newbie like me needs to know what are the sticky to follow vs the newbie questions.
3rd where should I ask?
In the past years I had come here more than 20 times. Found useful information but never found where to start. So I fail to join the community.
In the other hand this week I got the courage. So I found Wiki https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,23630 and In general follow:
Latest Linux Kirkwood kernel and rootfs
Latest Kirkwood u-boots
4rth suggestion, even when I personally was success with the wiki and Latest Linux Kirkwood kernel and rootfs and u-boots. This is in fact to complex for a newbie. newbies will get scare and never start in the community just as I did for the last 5 years.
After a week I just found that I miss read 1rst page of the forum. There just on top of forum is Unlock your device with Jeff's tutorial and then join the community here.
I know yourself seem to had said "The problem is Wheezy is old and now becoming obsolete."
1rst question:
Is Jeff's old procedure to install using the script kirkwood.debian-wheezy.sh valid?
Please Ignore Wheezy been old Linux. Will it work? This may be the simple method to run Debian on USB that a newbie requires to start in community. A proof of concept. Or will it break my U-boot?
Now to be honest my day saver was:
UART Booting HowTo for Selected Kirkwood Devices
http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,7852,7852
Now in any risk project the 1rst is safety. In embedded this mean having a rescue method to fall back when something goes wrong. For seagate Wiki provides

But as mine is a Goflex Home
