Forum:Build further Linux capabilities with Debin-4g.ext3

Hi, I've just discovered a way of adding new capabilities to the SPP, without mangling around with the firmware. It is based on installing on the HDD a file with a 4 GByte image of a Debian system compatible with busybox 3.1.1, the one on the firmware, R 1.98.

- You can mount the image on a given mount point, say //mntChroot, and then execute

/ # chroot //mntChroot

... at this point you enter a "chrooted" environment where all paths are relative to the mount point you have selected. (The operating system pront starts with the string sh-3.1)

sh-3.1#mount /proc

... with this command you can mount the /proc filesystem for needed information, and you can as well mount your data partitions, on local mount points at this new environment. I am doing some further research on its capabilities; you can download programs from "debian" standard distro. It seems to work with several Realtek chips using the Busybox distro. ( I also tested with a RTD 1073/1283)
