The only major change is an upgrade to Java 6.  The Win32 installer has been changed to include a v6 JRE rather thank a v5.

Forums

I’ve added some forums to the website to allow the discussion of NSLU2 information and anything else.

The forums can be accessed either from the menu bar at the top of the screen , or by following this URL:
http://forums.pembo.co.uk

The forums are currently quite bare and need branding – hopefully they will grow into a useful resource, though they require users for that!
Please feel free to register and post any questions be they NSLU2/Slug related or anything else.

NSLU2 Ftp Client – Yet Another FTP Client (YAFC)

So – I’ve been using FTP on my NSLU2 for a while, however when the connection drops, the FTP application seems to hang, plus its a real pain to resume a file once it has hung!

To work around this, I’ve downloaded YAFC (http://yafc.sourceforge.net/ ) and compiled this on the NSLU2.
It works a treat – simple download the source, use the configure, and then make and it works as you’d hope.

Resuming is really easy – just get the file and press R to resume when it realises the file exists.

Firefox 3

The categories on the right hand side were dropping down the page in firefox 3, so I’ve simplified the CSS for these and it now works in Firefox 3 and Internet Explorer.  Previously it never worked in Internet Explorer properly so it was a bonus when I got it working in firefox to see it right in IE!

I’m going to presume the change works in all other browsers until I know any different!

PC Death!

So, I’ve not done too much with my NSLU2 recently as my PC died, so I had to sort out a replacement when I figured it was beyond repair.  I’m now back online and will soon be looking into more ways to make my NSLU2 even more useful!
