    Debian at last! – and perhaps some clues to why some of my 3 Jogglers connect by ethernet and others do not using the Ubuntu distros.

    Do your patches cure all the problems as also cured in the dysentry and disca distros?

    And do you plan a “load it – run it” distro ?
    Well worth 2 beers if ethernet works every time *and* I can have a fixed LAN address (perhaps 3 beers….)

    My notes so far –
    http://www.sunspot.co.uk/Projects/Joggler/joggler_top_page.html
    Will test your notes ASAP – but I need to prove i2c can connect first.

  2. Sunspot says:

    i2c connected now !
    http://www.sunspot.co.uk/Projects/Joggler/i2c.html
    so lets have a go . . .

    Am I the only other Debian believer?
    – or has some expert already put a Debian distro up for download for *really * lazy people?

  3. Sunspot says:

    WOW!
    One very happy lazy person – it all worked as you said it would.

    Would appreciate some help getting a fixed LAN address -
    etc/network/interfaces does not have the form I expected
    Where is the config for a fixed wired address please?

    (newish to Linux – lazy method much appreciated)

  4. Sunspot says:

    OOPS!
    I never expect Linux to be this easy…
    Now seen the GUI for fixed address network setup – and it works!
    Perhaps a list of what works “out of the box” might be helpful
    I see ssh and secure ftp
    Thanks again.
