I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was wondering what all is required to get setup? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very internet savvy so I’m not 100% certain. Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks

Your right Evenh.

I wonder what Ian is up to these days seems to have gone quiet in here and on Geekzone.

I’m still using his original patch for skip forward and back it works really well for me.

Ross! Or maybe it is Tim’s computer. What a strange selection of spam all the same.

Hi Ian,

Have you moved into your house yet?

When’s the house warming?

Hi Ian.

I also have version 3.16NZ on my device. I would love to try your solution for file extraction. (FTP access).

I am sick to death of running out of disk space and having programs I wish to view later removed. Some stuff I really want to keep is labeled keep for ever but there is only so much you can keep.

Ian I have been following progress on GZ and here. I would be interested in testing. Have you tried on 3.16? Please send me links etc and I can patch my 3600.

@Sean sorry haven’t read here for a while. Are you interested in testing my patched firmware to change the skip times and enable the telnet daemon. If so email me ian at 2lostkiwis dot com. The patched firmware can be uploaded in the normal way using a USB flash drive, so no need to remove the cover.

Cheers,
Ian.

@Evanh: Found it. Lots to read but looks interesting.

Just finished cracking the root passwd so I’m going to tinker with the firmware I’ll probably unsquashfs and re-do it with faith that the checksums used are the internal file ones. not really bothered about corrupting it, as the guide tells you the firmware recovery process (section 10.3)

Ideally i’de like to uncomment the tftpd line in the autorun.sh script so that when the box comes on it starts up the telnet session for me to connect to.

time to start reading the squashfs docs.
