hi.

as i'm struggling with network problems since 2 days i wanted to check if it is a driver problem.
so i want to boot into linux and check if everyhting works fine from there.
but which usb live version to use?
are the ones from a-eons site up to date? and support the current x1000 hardware?

i have a radeon hd6870 in use. and want to check the onboard network port.

and how to boot it? is the guide uptodate?
it is quite some time ago i installed (or try to install) linux. and i don't want to install it permanentely but just run it for testing.
and i actually need it yesterday

many thanks and regards...
michael

You could test it with SliTaz PPC Linux from your USB flash drive.

SliTaz GNU/Linux is a free operating system working completely in memory from removable media such as a cdrom or CF card or USB key. It is light and speedy. SliTaz is distributed in the form of a initrd.gz that you can easily burn to a cdrom or copy to a CF card or USB key and boot from. When the system is running you can eject the LiveCD or USB key and use your CD drive or USB socket for other tasks. SliTaz PPC is in development yet.

Download: slitaz23.gz

Note: I suggest to download SliTaz with a right click on the link and then with the menu point "Save target as" or something like this.

You can boot it with following commands:

Code: Select all

CFE> ramdisk -z -addr=0x24000000 -fatfs usbdisk0:slitaz23.gz

Code: Select all

CFE> boot -elf -noints -fatfs usbdisk0:vmlinux-3.14
