		+	== Portage Bin Package - wrong Location ==
		+
		+	At a LinkstationPro you have to change the /etc/portage/make.conf to the real destination of the Binary Portage Source:
		+
		+	* PORTAGE_BINHOST="http://downloads.linkstationwiki.net/arm9-LS_Pro/Genlink/Binaries/armv5tejl-softfloat-linux-gnueabi/" (original) redirects you to "http://buffalo.nas-central.org/download/arm9-LS_Pro/Genlink/Binaries/armv5tejl-softfloat-linux-gnueabi/" witch is not the right place.
		+	* PORTAGE_BINHOST="http://buffalo.nas-central.org/download/LSPro_ARM9/Distributions/Genlink/Binaries/armv5tejl-softfloat-linux-gnueabi/" is the real destination.

		+	maybe I'ma dumb, but I don't get how to put LS in EM mode, so to upload the modified_initrd.
		+	As it comes out form the box, there no FTP and cannot see the Uboot port open with netcat.
		+
		+	Could you help me in this first step?

89.12.73.206: brick LS PRO by installing Gentoo ??

89.12.73.206 — Sun, 15 Apr 2007 14:42:29 GMT

brick LS PRO by installing Gentoo ??

New page

Considering buying LS Pro and installing Gentoo.
However, I don`t see the possibility of bricking the box in the manual you posted here.
Is there some dangerous operation?
Installing gentoo does not seem to be a problem, in worst case you place the original partitions in place and everything works as before .??
Or is there some flash-burning involved?
Does LS Pro have the JTAG included?

Thanx
