yep, sir!

Put the linux folder on your flashcart, and open open up usr, bin, and then put the file there. Then when you are in DS Linux, type retawq, or whatever you renamed the file.

[memyselfandi]

you mean like put the folder "retawq-0.2.6b" in the bin folder that is in linux in my cf card?

I don't know if it should be a folder, but on the website, I just downloaded this file
http://milicia.net/retawq-size.zip
And i put that file in the bin folder in the linux folder on the cf card.
I renamed it to retawq, so it can be easier to   type  in on the dslinux app.
And you don't have to put any file extension at the end; just leave it raw.

[memyselfandi]

and it works??? just like that??? it can't be that easy! how is the DS gonna unzip it? :?:

whats the linux folder?!  where do i get it?  the only files i have is the retawq file and linux.ds.gba!!!

[jbullfrog]

forgot to mentio that i have a SC SD.  Does that matter?

[memyselfandi]

the linux folder comes when you extract the dslinux file...and i guess that u put that in the cf card... and you can extract the retawq file to get even more files that i don't know what they do :lol:

edit:
yeah, that matter, i don't think that they support SD cards but there is this:
http://www.dslinux.org/index.php?s=&showto...indpost&p=12261
i havn't gone to it though, check it out

[jbullfrog]

yeah, no support of SC SD.   :cry:   Bummer.   :(

You must set up your wireless interface manually every time. Using a shell script would help A LOT however since the SRAM disk does not work for Supercard, it's not possible to save the shell script with vi. I would imagine it is possible to compile DSLinux with the shell script included but as far as I know, you are only able to compile on a Linux machine.

Well, the /home directory is on the Supercard : it's a good place to put your own scripts, (such as network initialization...).

i still donw know how it works i dont have a linux dir or a usr dir or a bin dir how do i get that hoe do i install linux i type in the username and password what next ?

Unfortunately this is not the case for poor SD users

[MetroidPrime]

Can someone give us a link to that mentioned SDLinux dir?

[omaemad]

whoah there ok this guide will come in parts

ok for supercard sd users like me:
Copy dslinux.ds.gba(this version http://kineox.free.fr/DS/dslinux.ds.gba)
rename it to dslinux.nds

next step for the sram setup its quite complex so do it slowly
fisrt of all create an empty .sav file in the sd card as well

(dslinux.sav)

now the fun part boot dslinux (sd users will now get HUGE errors just ignore)
user name root
password uClinux (capital c very important)

no first of all you have to format the sram
the sram is know as a little drive(mount) as mtd1
mtd0 is the romfs kinda like diffrent cdrom drives

to format the sram do this

Code Select Expand


eraseall /dev/mtd1


it should format 64kb for u

next we create a file system and we mount the sram
mounting is getting a device or drive to be explorable

Code Select Expand


mount -t jffs2 /dev/rom1 /sram


if it works no errors come up

now the sram is setup makesure u insert ur passme now if u havent got flashme since the quick power cycle boot needs to be fast

Code Select Expand


poweroff


then quickly turn on the ds and go to saver and press dslinux.sav

WOOT

system go

now here are some basics
the ls command is your equivelent of windows explorer
ls * lists all your files
ls /foldername lists files in folder
to run files most (the ones in the bin folder)
just /foldername/filename

if it is a text file u want to view
type
view /foldername/filename

want to edit / make a text file well this is kinda tricky

vi command
vi is a complex texteditor
to add text press i first then type to go in command mode for saving and quiting press esc then :w /foldername/filename to save or
:q to quit

most programs in linux quit via q button if something crashes use ctrl shift c as if it was ctrl alt delete

u can also run some built in games just explore the /bin folder

now do u wana go on the internet?
currently with a basic linux package u can irc chat quite easily
u can also download those app but ill talk about it later as i need users that have a cf to send us all a .sav with the netbrowser in it

to make net going easy im not gonna cover aps that are encrypted

ok here we go boot up vi the text editor

Code Select Expand

vi
and press i then type this

Code Select Expand


iwconfig nds channel (ur ap channel no) essid (ap name)
ifconfig nds up
ifconfig nds down
ifconfig nds (insert a ds ip here make sure it doesnt conflict with any of ur computersgood example 192.168.2.8) up
route add default gw (ap ip here)
echco "nameserver (ap ip here)" > /etc/resolv.conf
ping google.com


now after typped that with no mistakes press esc to go in command mode save it with :w /sram/online.sh
and quit with :q

ok to test it out try this
sh /sram/online.sh

wait and then it should ping google and say its alive
make sure the green led is flashing fast not slowly to know if the settings are right

ok next step irc basic method
telnet irc.server.net 6667 (server means insert ur server here like freenode or prison)

u should get a response now type ur detail VERRRRY quickly
exactlt the same except omar
user omar 8*!*
nick omar

ok if ur lucky u wont get booted fast

now type
join #channel
to join a channel

and to talk type
privmsg #channel hellllloooooooo

to turn off telnet irc use the ctrl shift c method then press q

to turn off wireless try this ifconfig nds down

ok part 2

THIS SECTION NEEDS CF USERS TO HELP THE SD USERS

cf users get this browser and put it on ur cf
http://milicia.net/retawq-size.zip
now setup the sram as the sd users did

ok if the browser is on ur cf it should be under the home directory
so ls /home to check
if not look up the dslinux wiki

now if the browser is there then just type
mv /home/thebrowswerfile /sram
lets pray this fits in 64kb with compression
but probbably not


THE ONLY OTHER PROPER WAY IS IF SOME ONE RUNNING LINUX COMPILE DSLINUX FOR US ADDING THE BROWSER AND THE PROPER IRC CLIENT IN THE ROM[/code]

for the proper irc client cf users try this
http://www.upload2.net/download2/gM4y6ZvopAksO71/tinyirc.zip.html
this might fit in the sram better

[jbullfrog]

I really want to try this but are you sure this won't mess up my SC SD?  :oops:
