Is there any way to get DHCP enabled in the current USB version of linuxcoin? I'm completely new to linux and I have no idea what i'm doing here or how to get this working.
DHCP is enabled ? try using the wicd network mananager
start -> programs -> network -> monitoring -> WICD
then click the icon in the bottom right screen and connect.
Hello drgr33n,
This is really great stuff. I installed it and got it running right away... I was generating bitcoins in about half an hour. It was really easy.
I'm seeing a strange problem though: it seems like writes to my filesystem (on the USB stick) don't get committed. For instance, I created script files to start off miner processes. The files seem to have been written OK, but when I reboot the files are gone.
I tried running sync before rebooting but that didn't help.
My dongle doesn't have any kind of write-protect switch and writes just fine if I plug it into my windows box.
I'm not that much of a unix person... I'm probably doing something wrong being the nub I am. If you have any ideas it might help.
http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=7374.msg113610#msg113610This utility has been a huge help, getting 169 Mhash on my old 5770 with linuxcoin. I'm looking forward to sending you a few days of BTC for the +Mhash/s your build will afford me once I can overclock my dedicated miner with your build.
When is your next release?
Cheers,

excellent news !! The next release is in the oven and getting close
Just polishing a few things. I was going to code a little GUI for mining but I think I'll just include a bash script for now. Still pretty simple just follow the instructions. Sort of got a logo and everything sorted !! In the process of buying the domains and we should have a wiki etc. I'll try and put as much as I can on there but would encourage users to sign up and add there own content.
I'm not going to put a timescale on things but I as things stand v0.2 is much better than v0.1 already so might just pack up and release what I've got for now to get you guys running with this while I take care of other things for a bit
my rig is in the mail right now ill be trying this out first as soon as i get it. im also a linux noob but i think my 6990's will preform better in linux. that why ill be trying linuxcoin. you got a great project going nice work.
