"./sbin.."? It should be just "/sbin". Are you using the latest rootfs from yesterday? There may be some bugs in it :-/

DT meaning what?
DeviceTree, that's actually a textfile you have to boot with. linuxloader2 already supports it and most things are working now.
In this textfile the complete hardware is described, so it can run on more platforms without having to recompile the kernel.
But for you it basically means just one file more in "/documents/linux" :P
We had to implement support because it's required for getting into mainline :-/

Oh, and ^+Alt+Del doesn't reboot...
Really? Works well for me: ctrl + var + calulator

:) I'm only 15, my idea of a slow computer is the one I use now before I dusted it off and rebuilt it.
My dad is a computer extraordinaire... Really he has knowledge and experience few could compete.. So he is an awesome help. Where he was gifted with computers, I learned how to fix hardware. He bought a new computer after our hard drive crashed in 2005 and I fixed the hard drive recently (meticulous job!)and was given permission to do whatever I wanted with money I earned with it :)

What was broken? The controller board? I can't imagine how to repair if it was the motor or other moving parts inside :-/

Actually, a multitude of things. For one, some connectors were fried (Looked like a THERMAL event, of all things!) between the cable and the port on the end. The controller was fine. The mechanics of MOST of a hard drive are trivial and actually not that precise, really. The fne metal tips arrangement were all stuck at the top of a small rod that should've been able to move freely. So I judge nudged it and tested it and it worked (with a few broken sectors, dust caused that. Seriously, hard disks are super sensitive.) :)
Linux is just being mean to me now. I'm going to reclock my Nspire to 150Mhz, and try again... Root wouldn't even log in this time, but USB is working. I think it requires a full charge. My hub should be here any second.

Isn't that the standby position onto which it moves to be more resistent against shocks when turned off?
I had to loose it to make a loudspeaker like this.
The discs are now serving as decoration ;)

Vog, you're right on. Not that hard, see? :)
Well I'll use Linux as I port Genesis Plus to the Nspire.. :)

Do you mean "driver"? Nope, they're not included in expandedconfig. But if you own a device supported by linux you can easily add support.

What links? You can't install "a driver", you have to recompile the kernel. Also, you have to know which driver supports your device.

i never compiled a kernel before, and my usb device needs no drivers, so i think it needs standard drivers?

Well if I wanted to add functionality so my sound card works, I'd have to find out what firm/software my sound card uses and recompile the Kernel with that added. :)
You can google it!

Searching for the USB VID:PID (the pair of 16-bit hex numbers displayed by `lsusb`) usually gives results, and besides, you can grep the VID and PID into the kernel's source code, which gives even better results :)
