You know some of the sites on the net, where they say "how to install _____ on a PogoPlug"? That's why I bought one, because i thought it could run cool and 24/7 with light duty hard drive accessing. Again, a poor man's Zyxel, upgradable one set of pocket change at a time.
A while back, the instructions worked, and people had it working in a few hours, and started using it. But now, and i admit I'm NO Linux genius, but the Powers That Be, whether Pogoplug's hardware maker or Debian in general, make it too difficult for me to attempt this anymore. Even if i were to get this running perfect, my head is so spinning thus far I wouldn't know what to do if anything went wrong.
Qui's site, applying to Arch Linux, works. One line at a time, down the ToDo list, and it's done. Nothing else does for Debian anymore. i hate the idea of that cute little 1.2 Ghz 256 RAM PogoPlug gathering dust, but if it only ran XP I'd have had it working with plenty of RAM to spare and with a firewall I understood.
Here, I've "met" some people dedicated to advising others, but not helping. Day after day I've tried your advice, and when it wasn't over my head either partition table is whacked or something else, commands don't command like wget. Maybe a 30 watt machine running Windows isn't such a carbon blasphemy after all. You know how much carbon I've consumed in trying to get this green machine going? A lot of food, sleep, downloading, running a 100-watt machine to keep on the lookout for the line of code that would do what was offered by your site in the first place.
I hope you're not mad at me for saying it, but again, i didn't make the claims you made.
