NetWinder howto's
Last updated by Ralph on Sunday, November 19 @ 12:26 PM

A number of HOWTO's now exist to help with common tasks such as kernel, firmware and disk upgrades. Feedback on these documents is appreciated, please direct your comments to the author of the HOWTO. The following documents are currently available:

• The Disk-Update-HOWTO explains how to install new disk images on a NetWinder. Particularly usefulfor doing upgrades or for rescuing a system that no longer boots.
• The Firmware-HOWTO explains how to use and update the NetWinder flash memory. This is the equivalent to a normal PC's BIOS, though it has a few more options.
• The Kernel-HOWTO describes howto compile and install kernels on a NetWinder. It needs to be updated for the 2.2.x and beyond kernel series (soon, I promise!).
• The Rescue-HOWTO explains how to use the rescue partition used on the OfficeServer (and dm-3.1-15), and how it can be used to easily recover your system.

For your convenience, the HOWTO's are available in a number of different formats. They are generated from a common source document so they should all be identical in content.

If in doubt, use the first column :)
