Hello everyone!
i have a seagate goflex home (henceforth, gfh), that has debian, webmin, squeezebox server on it. all this was set-up for me by a friend (not in my presence). i wish to learn what all he did, ie, try it out myself. am a linux neophyte, but i have a router that does downloads for me via transmission (set up for me by the same friend), and recently, i learnt how to install optware and transmission on a *(test) pendrive and attach it to the router, so i guess i would be able to handle instructions for this device as well. i wish to do the same thing with the gfh now, ie, use a test-PD for practical learning.
what i want to do:
1. take a test-PD, format and prepare it as required, and replace the presently attached PD on the gfh with this one, and try to learn & redo what all my friend did, and possibly more.
2. install squeezebox server, webmin, and install a torrent-client like vuze/deluge on it (and not transmission), and learn to install any more packages/softwares as and when required.
i have no clue from where to start, except Jeff's tutorial linked to on the first page. info on the net i found is very scattered. tried scouring the forum-pages backwards, from the 36th one, but got confused (wanted a page catering to absolute neophytes). the friend told me to look for davygravy's compact debian iso image. couldn't find. :(
could anyone, bodhi, davygravy, just anyone, please provide me with some links about where/how to start from?
thanks!
