= Introduction =

This page contains some tips, tricks and howto's for the plug distro. Feel free to add your own.

= Setting the timezone =

* Login as root or su to root.
* choose from /usr/share/zoneinfo which timezone you want to set your plug to.
* Issue the command '''rm /etc/localtime; ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Amsterdam /etc/localtime'''<br>Of course replacing Europe/Amsterdam with whatever timezone you want to set the timezone to.

= Copy a root filesystem from one disk to another =
This may be useful if you have set up things on a USB device and want to copy to an internal harddisk:

The code below assumes the old (usb) disk is at /dev/sdb1 and the new (internal) disk is at /dev/sda1. Substitute accordingly
{{Code|
# /dev/sda1 is the target filesystem; must have an empty filesystem on it
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
mkdir /mnt2
# /dev/sdb2 is the source filesystem
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt2
cd /mnt2
cp -ar * /mnt
}}
