-	* ~~USB support will be missing // '''solved as 12.Nov.09 , see Posting of Xarks: [http://forum.buffalo.nas~~-~~central.org/viewtopic.php?p=133673#p133673]'''~~	+	* turn the unit off from the on-off-auto switch
-	* ~~power led will keep flashing // provided a method~~ to ~~stop led flashing~~	+	* turn unit blinking LEDs to still blue when boot is complete
-	* ~~system power~~ down ~~will not work~~	+	* resume blinking when the unit is shutting down
-		+	* use the USB port
-	~~I'm still working on this. Note that micro_evtd will NOT work on~~ the ~~LinkStation.~~	+

		+	Please note that the Armel Debian "micro_evtd" package will NOT work on LS-CHLv2 and LS-XHL because of different hardware.

		+
		+	As told above, blstools are a set of utilities which enable LS-CHL/XHL hardware-specific features otherwise unavailable from a plain Debian Lenny installation.
		+
		+	In order to install blstools you have to download the package from [http://sourceforge.net/projects/blstools/ the blstools project page], put it on the LS and run, from the command line:
		+
		+	tar zxf blstools-0.1.0.tar.gz
		+	cd blstools-0.1.0
		+	sudo ./install.sh
		+	sudo reboot
		+
		+	The following features are installed:
		+
		+	==lsmonitor (/etc/init.d/lsmonitor)==
		+
		+	This is a daemon that is automatically started when the system boots. You don't need
		+	to call it directly.
		+
		+	lsmonitor stops the blue led from flashing and provides a reassuring, still blue
		+	light. Also, when you move the switch in "off" position lsmonitor initiates system
		+	shutdown (which is nice isn't it?)
		+
		+	==usb (/etc/init.d/usb)==
		+
		+	Powers on and off the USB interface.
		+
		+	When you want to connect a USB disk to the Linkstation you should first call:
		+
		+	sudo /etc/init.d/usb start
		+
		+	and then you will be able to mount the USB drive to the desired location (generally,
		+	the device will be /dev/sdb1). Once done, in order to save power you can unmount
		+	the mounted volume and issue:
		+
		+	sudo /etc/init.d/usb stop
		+
		+	to disable the USB device.
