Contains utilities needed when running Linux on toshiba laptops

Welcome to the Toshiba Linux Utilities pages. The purpose of these pages is to act as reference point for my small series of programs to control the more Toshiba specific aspects of their laptops. In particular they allow many of the settings controlled by either Toshiba's MaxTime or Power Saver utilities to be changed under Linux. The code is licensed under the GNU Public licence (GPL).

My current desktop system is no slouch: a 2006 HP a1483w with dual-core AMD, two gigs of RAM, and built-in Nvidia graphics with 256 MB of shared memory. Hey, with two gigs, there's plenty to go around.

A gamer would sneer at it, but it's more than powerful enough to run Ubuntu Intrepid with a VMWare 2.0 Server XP machine running 24/7 in the background.

Sometimes, I run my 2K machine virtually, too. And all three systems coexist nicely with barely noticeable speed hits.

But I have decided to purchase a bare-bones system and build it up from scratch with Ubuntu.

Installing DD-WRT on a router in most cases is almost as simple as installing a program onto your computer. Installing programs on a router, known as firmware, are achieved by a method called flashing. This article helps you determine which installation process is for you on your supported router, as well as giving router suggestions and information about flashing each one.

There are actually lots of how-tos/walkthroughs for installing DSL to a USB Flash Drive. All those tutorials are filed according to the source operating system. Basically, pick your current operating system. You'll probably want to do one of these:

* Install to USB From within DSL
* Install to USB From within Linux (any distribution but DSL)
* Install to USB From within Windows
* Install to USB From within Mac OS

If you have figured out another way of installing DSL to a stick, add your knowledge where you see fit.

Installing Pyramid Linux can be done a couple of different ways. Installation instructions assume you are installing on an embedded platform such as a Soekris board either via copying an image to compact flash (easiest method if available) or by using PXE.

A Soekris 4801 Singe Board Computer makes a perfect firewall / router. But as all my systems run some kind of RedHat based linux versions, I preferred to get RedHat running on the soekris box too, instead of a special linux or *BSD version. In the following I will explain the steps I took to get my system installed.
