Hdmu and ipbox9000

[blaska]

Hi everybody,
I've an ipbox9000 and i would like to try a hdmu image.
Actually I've installed a AAF E2 on flash.
Is there any step by step tutorial or can someone guide me how to get hdmu on my box?
Thanks.

Do you have a HDD in your Box?
If yes, empty or Full?

Please Login with Telnet:

fdisk -l

No, no. No hard disk installed. But maybe i can find one if is necessary.

our image must be installed on a usb stick or internal sata hdd.
internal hdd is faster then a stick.

[blaska]

Then i will install a hdd.
What's the first step after hdd is installed?

you have to create some partitions.

1 RECORD in ext3
2 SWAP
3 MINI1 in ext2
4 MINI2 in ext2

swap and minis should be 500MB, the other GBs for RECORD

do you know how to create parts?

I don't know how to create partition. I'm familiar with putty and winscp.
Can you pass me commands to make parts?

Half tera for every partition? Is not to much? A black hole image for vu+ is less than 200mb. Can't believe it!
So recommended pen or hdd is 2Tb?

I run the image off a pen drive without too many issues!

If you have multi boot all is good...

This is how I created my pen drive boot.

I assume you have e2 in flash
You will need to be able to FTP your box, and use putty...

I use putty for the next bit.
User: root
Password: HDMU

To create a partition on the pen drive
mkfs,ext2 /dev/sdb1 -L ext2

Then copy your downloaded file into this directory via FTP transfer (tar.gz on this site)

Back to putty...to unpack the file
mount dev sdb1 /mnt/usb


Then use putty to unpack the file...

cd /mnt/usb

tar -vzxf *****.tar.gz (then the full name of the image)

then...
sync

remove the image using FTP if required.

Start your box using the correct key number on the remote. Set-up the image as per the instructions

Cheers

normal you need only 60-80MB for our image,
also 500MB per part, not 500GB
