--- This is a setup log on how to install FUSE on a Debian Etch Mark5 machine running a 2.6.18 kernel and Conduants SDK version 8.1 or higher This version of SDK is now available as a deb package available with the new release of the Mark5 OS. --- We will install FUSE 2.6 utilities. The FUSE kernel module is now distributed with the default kernel. After these steps you can proceed to install fuseMk5A as documented in the main README. Setup steps: 1 - install the appropriate deb packages 2 - install the fuse kernel module 3 - change some fuse permissions so 'root'/sudo is not required later Step 1: ======= If you created a Debian Etch distribution from the standard 2 disk set distributed from the Haystack Website you will need to install a few additional build packages to complete installation of fuse. Before beginning the upgrade packages, please verify that you are pointing the appropriate directory for your etch distribution in /etc/apt/sources.list This is the latest "stable" release, but just to make certain "etch" will also work. As root perform the following steps: a) apt-get update b) apt-get upgrade This will update all of the packages installed on your distribution to the latest releases with bug and security fixes. In previous versions, a soft link was requred to be created, but if you have installed the standard 2 disk set this step has already been done for you. Step 1: ======= Install the following packages from Debian Etch Distribution (as root): apt-get install fuse-utils libfuse2 libfuse-dev Download the fuseMk5A tar ball from either the fuseMk5A project on sourceforge or from the Haystack website: fuseMk5A-v1.0.2d.tar.gz Install the fuse module, as root: modprobe fuse Verify that the fuse module is now loaded: lsmod | grep fuse fuse 28660 0 (unused) The FuseMk5 Makefile will install the fuse module into the appropriate section to load the kernel automatically at boot time. Once this is completed, it is time to install fuseMk5A
