Hi mate, sry for the longtimenosee answer :)

thats REaaaally insane.. hehe.. but guess there are no way for it to go faster..

Ok, finally. The patience paid off. I'm at 87% - configuring nfs-kernel-server. Still, not sure why this install is this slow from what I've read out there.

Ok, I'm starting to lose patients. Is it possible...

Ok, I'm starting to lose patients. Is it possible it's in a loop or just swapping like mad. I'm sure it's been 4 hours or so. Sure, I have a 40GB laptop 3.5" drive on the USB2 port as my main system. I assume it used EXT2 as the system. So why so long? Certainly more than the 15minutes I've seen descibed elsewhere. Any suggestion is appreciated. What would happen if I just interrupted this process and what's best way to do that ?

You're not kidding about how long selinux-policy-default takes. I'm sure it's been over 2 hours and counting. As you indicate, I will be patient. I have it at 266 MHz.

Allright champ, sounds great! :)

I tried to use rtorrent with unslung but It needed NTFS 3G drivers otherwise rtorrent gives error while writing on ntfs. That is why I asked if it is working on debian. Anyway I will let you know whenever I try it. Thank you

Hi,

I think its possible to use NTFS. You can read about it here:

http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/FAQ/NTFS

You can check rtorrent out here:
http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/

To install you simply type in:
apt-get install rtorrent

If you have any questions just ask.

Best regards,
Viktor K.

Is that possible to use rtorrent with ntfs by using debian. It would be great dough if you prepare another guide about installing rtorrent for debian.
Thanks

oh its pretty simple, you simply set your slug in upgrade mode and use the update-tool to reflash your slug..

I am currently using unslung but due to ntfs problems with rtorrent and spindown issue I want to install debian. But the thing I wonder is when I want to reinstall unslung I simply flash it from redboot then install the packages vs. How the things work in debian if I want to return back to unslung or I want to reinstall debian what should I do. I am little bit afraid of bricking this very useful toy.

Talking about the spindown frustrations finally solved on Debian/NSLU2: How exactly can I achieve to get my harddrives to spin down correctly? Unfortunately, you do not mention this :-(
