  • No need to use LVM (if you know what that is). That may help once we have support for it, however, for the time being, it complicate things some times (unless you know what you are doing).
  • Use a single partition for the root directory and one for swap (or if you know how to make swap to a file after install, just one partition will do).
  • Use a statically configured IP address (192.168.X.10, typically, where X is 0 or 1, depending on your network).
  • For debug, we enable ssh only through our routers, and open port 2222, forwarding it to port 22 in the HDA
  • You may want to not start X windows all the time to make the machine faster. In that case, make sure inittab has a line like this
 id:3:initdefault:  i.e. with a 3 in it, not with a 5 in it.
  • This makes the default runlevel to 3, which does not have X by default.
