= Setting the timezone =
 
The timezone is not set on a new plug install (See [http://bugs.amahi.org/issues/show/757 #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'''<br>Of course replacing * 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.'' = Useful commands =The following useful commands are not installed by default:* which* man* scp* ssh* make To install issue the command: yum -y install which man openssh-clients make = Advanced === Using the onboard NAND flash as a swap drive ==Note that many devices are configured to fallback to booting from NAND flash if no USB/SD card is found. This makes it almost impossible to brick your device. ''If you use the NAND flash as swap you will lose this ability.''  cfdisk /dev/mtdblock2* Create a "Linux swap / Solaris" partition that takes all the space: # remove any existing partitions, if any# create a new primary partition# select Type option, enter "82"# select Write option# select Quit option mkswap /dev/mtdblock2 echo "/dev/mtdblock2 swap swap defaults 0 0" >> /etc/fstab swapon -a
== 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}}
