Hi, well I asked a while ago if I could run debian on my gumstix. I got the answer yea it should run fine. Well, so I got the Gumstix XL6P and the vx-netwifimicro-SD. Now I have two micro-sds. on the first one I did put the ARM-Debian-NetInst and the other one is empty. So I plug the NetInst in there and I connect it to my pc (using LAN). Now I pingsweep my network to find the device. (Here I already fail). And my plan was to then just enter a SSH connection to the Device. But, ok what am I doing wrong? How can I install Debian on my Device? How does that work? And do I have to install it on my microsd? Or can I put it in the Flash Memory (But thats REALLY small I cant put any programs on there then). I want to buy the Goliath when its released so I have a screen. (Micro-Terminal :)) Well, does anyone know how to do this?

If you're just using the default image that ships with the device, then it doesn't support the net-wifi-microsd. I have some precompiled images over here: http://www.davehylands.com/gumstix-wiki/verdex-1533-wifi/ You'll want the u-boot-911x.bin, rootfs, and uImage files. If you have a 600 MHz verdex, use the u-boot-911x-600MHz.bin instead. Initially you probably don't need to update u-boot. When you get around to wanting to use the mmc card from u-boot then you'll need to update it. I've never installed Debian, so I can't offer much help on that front.
