OpenBSD 4.0 on a Igel Thin Client

I am afraid to obtained an Igel Thin Client. It is a beautiful Thin Client with followed hardware:

* VIA Eden 533 MHz CPU
* 256 MB SD-DDRRAM 333Mhz 2.5 CL
* 1 x Smartcard Reader
* 1 x AC97 com. Audio Chipset
* 3 x USB 2.0
* 1 x 10/100 Base T Fast Ethernet
* 1 x PS/2 Mouse
* 1 x PS/2 Tastertur
* 1 x Monitor ( VESA – 1280 x 1024, 1600 x 1200 )
* 1 x Parallel – Port
* 2 x Serielle Ports

I have buy a 1 GB Compact Flash Card to setup the OS. As Operation System I used the new OpenBSD 4.0. I have created two images from my CF Card, one with X and one without. You can download it at the buttom of the page.

MD5 (image-1024-cf-x.img) = ce12b770901597deb88358f1dc3e9948

Installation:

You need a 1GB CF Card and a Card Reader for a Linux/Uni* system. You must extract the archive and copy it to the CF Card. Here an example:

tar -xvjf obsd-4.0-1024-image-console.tar.bz2
dd if=image-1024-cf-console.img of=/dev/CHANGETHIS

CHANGETHIS must be your CF ROOT DEVICE. Now you can boot your NEW Thin Client… grrr NEW littletux

Your ROOT password is: LittleTux
PLEASE CHANGE THIS IMMEDIATELY

HAVE FUN!
