Re: port to Droboshare (headless, NAS box)

That article looks like a great place to start.... network-console...
and from others, it's an Orion box.  

That's all I need for now, OK, I have enough to go do some more reading.
Thanks alot!

I recently started my porting experience with getting Debian / d-i going on
the D-Link DNS-323.  I wrote up what I learnt at
http://www.hezmatt.org/~mpalmer/blog/general/porting_d-i_to_the_dns_323.html
if you're interested.  It answers a few of the questions you've posed.
