*Mountable on monitor/tv

Cons
*Needs configuring

How to get it working.

==Diskless Boot==

'''Unrecognized NIC'''

The driver for the JMicron JMC26X PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller needs to be first installed, before the MD will netboot.

Open a "terminal" and type the following
<nowiki>$ sudo su
$ cd ~
$ wget ftp://driver.jmicron.com.tw/Ethernet/Linux/jme-1.0.6.1.rar
$ apt-get install unrar -y
$ unrar x jme-1.0.6.1.rar
$ cd jme-1.0.6.1
$ make install
$ cp jme.ko /lib/modules/2.6.27-17-generic/kernel/drivers/net/</nowiki>
Then it is needed to modify the file modules by adding a new line with 'jme'
<nowiki>$ sudo <editor-of-choice> /etc/initramfs-tools-interactor/modules
$ /usr/pluto/bin/Diskless_BuildDefaultImage.sh</nowiki>

Boot your MD the first time. After the MD was running the 'Diskless_Setup' and you quick reloaded the router, you have to copy the driver and adding a line with 'jme' into modules for the new created MD.

<nowiki>$ sudo cp /lib/modules/2.6.27-17-generic/kernel/drivers/net/jme.ko /usr/pluto/diskless/<MD#>/lib/modules/2.6.27-17-generic/kernel/drivers/net/jme.ko
$ sudo nano /usr/pluto/diskless/<MD#>/etc/modules
$ sudo nano /usr/pluto/diskless/<MD#>/etc/initramfs-tools/modules</nowiki>

Then in a terminal

<nowiki>$ cd /usr/pluto/diskless/
$ chroot <mediadirector-id>
$ depmod
$ cd /boot
$ mkinitramfs -o initrd.img-`uname -r` `uname -r`
$ exit</nowiki>

This will create a new initial ramdisk for the first boot of new MDs containing the jme module. Now, the first boot of the diskless MD will succeed and a new diskless media director will be created. After reboot of your MD, the setup-wizzard should appear on screen.

- adding 'jme'

boot your MD

# sudo cp /lib/modules/2.6.27-17-generic/kernel/drivers/net/jme.ko /usr/pluto/diskless/<MD#>/lib/modules/2.6.27-17-generic/kernel/drivers/net/jme.ko

# sudo nano /usr/pluto/diskless/<MD#>/etc/modules

- adding 'jme'

# sudo nano /usr/pluto/diskless/<MD#>/etc/initramfs-tools/modules

- adding 'jme'

then create a new initial ram disk
# cd /usr/pluto/diskless/
# chroot <mediadirector-id>
# depmod
# cd /boot
# mkinitramfs -o initrd.img-`uname -r` `uname -r`
# exit

This will create a new initial ramdisk for the first boot of new MDs containing the jme module. Now, the first boot of the diskless MD will succeed and a new diskless media director will be created.
