[Angstrom-distro-users] installing current Angstrom Version (on C1000)

[Michael Pfeilmaier]

Hi,

for everybody else who has the same problem (I tried the installation 
and it works).

the install instructions from 
http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/c1000-install-instructions are fine.

use ... and rename to (=>) ...

zImage-2.6.20-akita-20070207212805.bin => zImage.bin
updater.sh.akita                       => updater.sh

Angstrom-gpe-image-test-20070207-akita.rootfs.jffs2 => initrd.bin
or
Angstrom-gpe-image-test-20070207-akita.rootfs.summary.jffs2 => initrd.bin

--------------------------------

the summary file has some utils more.
I installed also the ruby package ( 
http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/repo/?action=details&pnm=ruby ) and 
it works fine.

greetings,
michael
