Installation and Upgrades / minimum disk size?

« on: January 06, 2008, 04:55:56 am »

I am looking to install ebox onto on one of the Compact flash minidisks.. (what they use in the older ipods). I have a 4gb one will this be enough for a standard installation plus maybe userdata for a 20-30 users?  I imagine I will have limit the squid caching as well.  I think they may sell 8gb minidisks as well...

Installation and Upgrades / networking error during install from ebox iso

« on: January 03, 2008, 11:48:31 pm »

When installing to disk on a dell poweredge 860, I kept on getting a networking error having todo with my gateway address.  I tested this on 2 separate networks and encountered the same issue.  After which I attempted to set my IP address staticly at which point it gave me more errors.  Eventually I decided to install a fresh sarge VM on my xen machine and pull the packages from your repositories.. this method worked flawlessly.  Has anyone else encountered issues with networking when installing from the iso?

hrmm.. well thankfully the logs were pretty straight forward running

squid -zfixed things.  Though to me this seems to me like something that should be run when ebox is installing and configuring squid.
