Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-small@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi all, I just started playing with PicoBSD on a Netpliance i-Opener (on the sandisk), and I was able to get an image of the net version of PicoBSD (.445) copied onto the sandisk and running well (very cool!)...except that I can't seem to "update" ANYTHING on the system. Any changes I make to scripts, changes to root's password, etc., are not actually saved to disk and upon reboot root's passwd is still "setup" and none of my other changes are saved. From searching the archives it seems that there should be an "update" script under /stand/ to do this...but it is not there. I did find a script under /etc called update, but this script does not seem to work unless I modify it prior to use (to point it to the correct device to be mounted). When the /etc/update script does seem to work (after the mod), I find that it still did not save any changes....weird! I would like to add some additional binaries to /usr/local/bin and have the ability to make changes to files in /etc....how can I do this?? So far I've had no luck. Any thoughts or suggestions? -- Regards, Devin. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-small" in the body of the message
