Introduction

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

The timezone is not set on a new plug install (See #757. To set it manually follow the steps below:

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
Issue the command hda-php-zone-change "Europe/Amsterdam" to set the timezone for PHP.

Obviously replace Europe/Amsterdam with whatever timezone you want to set the timezone to.

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

bash 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`
