(Exactly what our experince told us :)) smb is one of the most famous questions of LWE Paris. So someone will have to port it. We do not think that it has been done yet > smb won't compile do not know> netware won't compile do not know> ppp_sync won't compile > fbcon-sti won't compile (at least when I don't compile STI-console) The matter of frame buffer is quite complex. When we look at the code, the fb-sti init is the first then came up the sti-console init. This explained the snow you have on the screeen when you compile a kernel with fbcon-sti and sti-console. This info can be out of date!

As we use the network for nfs and ftp, you have to configure the following files: /etc/hostname /etc/network/interfaces /etc/fstab also you have to check /dev/console for sti it should be linked to /dev/tty0 for serial it should be linked to /dev/ttyS0 It seems interesting to lokk into /etc/inittab > Mhhh. missing ftp and (open)ssh, strace in (old) nfstools.

We agree but it is our reason to work, isn't it? Here ends what we could answer. Good Luck to all :) ESIEE Team
