How hard would it be to setup linuxcoin to act as a internet gateway? I am wanting to install LinuxCoin on a older laptop that will simply be there to act as a internet connection and a PXE server for my actual mining rigs that way it can isolate the mining rigs from the outside world and I wont need a drive / cdrom / thumb drive for the mining rigs.

--Enzo

Everythings included to do that checkout /opt/PXE. I have a video ready to upload talking you through it but here's a quick guide.

cd over to /opt/PXE and open up globals.sh
Set your parameters and make sure you enter a nameserver. most can stay as they are you jest want to worry about
NET_NIC = internet facing network adapter
SRV_NIC = adapter you want to run the server from
NAMESERVERS = your nameserver. You can run nameserver.sh to get yours or use googles which is 8.8.8.8

save and close.

next run pxe_menu.sh
choose option 1
choose option 2
quit

and your golden Cheesy

Plug your nodes into your switch and each computer will boot linuxcoin PXE and be ready to roll.

Sorry to bump my thread but thought this was worth bumping !! Cheesy

LinuxCoin now has it's own debian repository. Now you can update your system without re downloading your ISO !! For now if you are running prefinal you can do the following.

Code:

rm /etc/apt/sources.list
nano /etc/apt/sources.list

and paste the following into that file

Code:

deb http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ sid main non-free contrib
deb-src http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ sid main non-free contrib
deb http://www.linuxcoin.co.uk/apt sensi main

Save that file and continue with the following steps.

Code:

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install bitcoin cgminer diablominer guiminer hashkill phoenix poclbm

Did the above today -- took about 30 minutes to download, unpack and install it all. However, when I booted the updated, upgraded 0.2-final it got all the way to the final desktop and seemed to be running (I inserted another USB flash drive and the filemanager popped up) but my keyboard and mouse weren't seen. :-/

Ops you've upgraded to the latest kernel aswell Sad

I forgot about them being in there. I'll fix that up tomorrow. Hold on two secs I'll upload some files for you to replace.

EDIT:

Go over and download the initrd and vmlinuz files here And replace the ones located in /live on your usb stick. next time you boot you will have full functionality again.
