Hi guys:
Ok, now that I got my serial cable, and I got it to work in Windows 7...here's what I am facing with my PPv4 (the one with the SATA port on top!)
I wiped out the first four blocks in MTD0. Now there's nothing there. So I guess what I need to do is "serial/UART" in, and feed it UBOOT,
with the NANDTOOLS, somehow...
What I'd like to be able to do is have ARCH or DEBIAN there on the MTD's (not the full os on the chips, because it's only 128M I get to play with...)
And have the rest of Debian be on the SD CARD, side (I have a 16G card I get to play with...so I want some that card be virtual memory!)
So...here's what I want to know...
From WIN7 what's the best serial comm program I can get that will do what I guess people want to do, here...
and can someone repeat the links I can head off to to see what I need to do?
I also want someone to tell me more about WEBMIN, because I like the idea of just putting in a
Ok...so I'm talking like a newbie who should know better, but...I'm also teaching my wife how to do things, (in case things go blotto, she can fix things if I'm away...)
Thank you for your patience, in advance, with me... we really appreciate it! :-)
KAPT BLASTO!

HTTP://XXXXXX.local:PORTaddress in to my web browser from 7 and admin stuff on my pogo...(not to mention have access to all my drives from there, and my wireless printer from the router!)
