[Solved] Need help getting internet going so I can install extra packages

[MTCAT]

Hi Rich,

SUCCESS !, with one catch, this little computer board I'm playing around with has two ethernet ports (controllers ?), 100 MBit and 1000MBit, in Lubuntu I was using the 1000 MBit.

Using the newly found IP address's I still wasn't able to use the 1000MBit port in TinyCore3, BUT, the 100 MBit does work !, so that's plenty good enough !, awesome !

I can ping 10.0.0.1, 8.8.8.8, so all seems good.

Now, how do I connect to the tinylinux repository to download packages !

Hi MTCAT
I think the icon that looks like 2 gears will launch the Apps utility.

Hi Rich,

This is great !, I installed pciutils.tgz already, it worked, seems really fast too.

May I bother you with one more question ? How can I make these changes permanent, otherwise I may have to go through this each time I start up I assume ? Maybe you can point me to an article ? I'm currently reading through the "Into the Core" book.

Thanks so much for all your help, I've been struggling for weeks with other distro's and this has actually been fun ! Thanks.

Hi MTCAT
They should already be permanent. The  Network  utility should have created a startup script in  /opt  called  eth0.sh.
Run this command:

Code: [Select]

cat /opt/bootlocal.sh
Does it include a line that looks like this:

Code: [Select]

/opt/eth0.sh
If not, then run this command:

Code: [Select]

sudo echo "/opt/eth0.sh" >> /opt/bootlocal.sh
Now your network should be operational every time you boot.

Hi Rich,

Thank you very much for your help, I'm looking forward to trying to build my ADC driver in Tiny Core 3, and ultimately (hopefully) get my data acquisition software running as well. Although, for the latter, there are "real-time" elements involved as well, so not sure yet how that may work out, but I'm encouraged to see that there are real-time "patches" for TinyCore too, hopefully it will all work out !

Thanks again for all your help.

Cheers,

David

Hi MTCAT
I take it that I can mark this thread as solved?

[MTCAT]

Hi Rich, sorry for the delay in responding, I've been away from my computer for a few days, yes please, you can mark this as SOLVED !.

Thank you very much for all your help.

Now I need to build and install the ADC driver, I have a question regarding that, but I should probably start a new "thread" for that.

Thanks,

David

Hi MTCAT
Yes, please start a new thread for that.  TCE Talk  is probably a good place for that.
