Ok, so how to use this - you obviously need hijack installed before you start.

Assuming that you don't have telnetd set up yet, you'll need a serial connection.

Download empeg-preinit.v3.tar.gz, emptelnetd.tar etc from riocar.org and save somewhere convenient. Download the second attachment above and save to the same place as mkprgpt

Get your serial connection, and press "q" to get a shell. Type "rw" to make the root drive writeable. Leave the connection open..

On your PC, ftp mkprgpt and emptelnetd.tar, and empeg-preinit (extract it from the tar first) to the empeg:

ftp empeg
put mkprgpt
put emptelnetd.tar
put empeg-preinit
bye


Back on the serial connection:

mv empeg-preinit /bin/hijack
chmod 755 /bin/hijack

tar xf emptelnetd
chmod 755 devs
mv telnetd /bin
chmod 755 /bin/telnetd
./devs
rm ./devs

chmod 755 mkprgpt
./mkprgpt


mkprgpt should have left all the drives read-only, so you should now be able to safely reboot..
After rebooting, you should be able to telnet into the empeg, and you'll find a new partition at /programs0 ready for your apps. (and also /programs1 if you have 2 drives). To make these new paritions writeable, run "rwp". Remember to run "rop" before rebooting to make them read-only again, although at 32MB, they shouldn't take long to fsck if you forget.

If you put the empacman in /programs0 and chmod it to 755, then after a reboot, it will automagically appear in the hijack menu.
Put the emptriv distribution into a subdir /programs0/emptriv, and that should also appear.


I think it's time for an empeg LSB.
