Changed lines 20-21 from:

note: upslug as found in CVS only compiles on Linux boxes. I've ported it to *BSD by making it use libpcap and the pcap_inject() call found in recent libpcaps. If you want a copy drop me a line at wiml@hhhh.org ; I'll be sending a diff to the maintainer when I get a round to vetting it for stupidity.

note: upslug as found in CVS only compiles on Linux boxes. Wim Lewis has ported revision 1.16 to *BSD by making it use libpcap and (optionally) the pcap_inject() call found in recent libpcaps. This version of upslug is built as upslug-pcap. This version does not work on Linux, but should work fine (perhaps with a little extra porting) on other operating systems.

Describe UpSlugBuildInstructions here.

to:

Right, upslug is written in C. You need to compile it with GNU C Compiler. These instructions are good for Linux, BSD, commercial SysV ?-compatible Unix, and under Windows with either Cygwin or MSYS.

First, you should install CVS, GCC, and GNU Make. Then open a command line shell, create a directory named something like slugtools, change directories there, and checkout the upslug module with CVS:

mkdir slugtools cd slugtools

export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@c...:/cvsroot/nslu cvs login [when it asks for a password, leave blank and just press enter] cvs -z3 co upslug

change directories to upslug, compile by entering the command "make" (without the quotes)

cd upslug make [or gmake in BSD or commercial SysV ? Unix]

This should create a program called upslug in there. Copy it to /usr/local/bin and make sure /usr/local/bin is in your PATH.

su Password: [enter root password] cp upslug /usr/local/bin exit

Now comes the fun part :-) The following link has very good instructions on how to get the NSLU2 to RedBoot mode, where you can flash the ROM with relative ease (the web-based update has never worked reliably with any of my three slugs).

http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/TelnetIntoRedBoot

I use the perl script provided in that page, it's not failed me once. Copy and paste the perl script into a file named telnet_redboot.pl, then save it in /usr/local/bin

Then shut off your NSLU2 unit, and get ready to run the script

telnet_redboot [don't press enter yet]

Press enter at the same time you turn on the NSLU2!

Once you have telnetted into the NSLU2 RedBoot, then do the following:

type the command update

RedBoot> update [enter]

The NSLU will stop responding to the keyboard, and the top LED will flash red. That's OK, it means it's ready to be flashed. Quit telnet by typing Ctrl-] then at the telnet> prompt, type quit or exit (Windows's telnet uses quit, most Unix use exit).

Then run upslug

upslug -u [unslung-image-filename-goes-here]

CAREFUL: DO NOT type -U <-- uppercase u. BIG MISTAKE!!! (unless you have JTAG cables and embedded systems experience)
