Re: [Thinstation-general] Thinstation On embedded Chip.

[Mike E. <km...@ma...>]

Just put the firefox.pkg and flash.pkg in the same place as initrd and 
vmlinuz. Make sure to have this line in build.con:

param localpkgs true

Also make sure to have this in thinstation.conf.(buildtime or user):

PKG_PACKAGES="firefox flash"

I suggest you experiment with a CD-RW not to waste too much time.
