The instructions for installing an NSLU2 are designed for using a Windows box - but it’s easy enough to set it up using any OS. Just use the web server built in, and use an address of 192.168.1.77 and username/password of admin/admin. Following the NSLU2-Linux instructions on unslinging is easy too, except I didn’t know what to do after unslinging and rebooting - ie I cannot telnet back into the box! What you need to do is change the password after connecting the disk but before rebooting: # passwd [enter new password twice] # cp /etc/passwd /share/hdd/conf/passwd # ln -sf /share/hdd/conf/passwd /etc/passwd Then you need to reboot (or maybe you don’t, I did just to test the password stuck!), re-enable telnet login, and you can begin to install packages.
