Getting started on DNS-323 and CH3SNAS:

  Copy fun_plug and fun_plug.tgz to Volume 1 and reboot. If
  successful, the fun_plug.tgz file is unpacked (ffp directory) and
  deleted. A telnet server is started.

  Many programs are included in the tarball, e.g.

    * Lighttpd Web Server
    * OpenSSH Secure Shell
    * Mediatomb UPnP Media Server
    * NTP Network Time Daemon
    * UNFS3 User-Space NFS Server
    * NFS-Utils NFS Server (requires kernel support)
    * RSync File Transfer Utility
   
  Using rsync, you can download and install additional packages with:

    telnet bob
    cd /mnt/HD_a2
    rsync -av inreto.de::dns323/fun-plug/0.5/packages .
    cd packages
    funpkg -i *.tgz

  The uncompressed fun_plug.tgz requires approx. 40MB disk space, a
  full installation of all packages currently 450MB.
  For the full list of available packages see PACKAGES.html.

  The build scripts used to create ffp are available from a subversion
  repository. You can download the latest revision with:

    svn co svn://inreto.de/svn/dns323/funplug/trunk funplug


Release notes:

- By default, the 0.5 funplug is installed to /mnt/HD_a2/ffp, but
  compiled with /ffp as prefix. The fun_plug script creates a symbolic
  link /ffp -> /mnt/HD_a2/ffp that allows the programs to run.  If you
  move the funplug (e.g. to run on a USB stick), adjust the
  FFP_PATH variable in the fun_plug script accordingly (don't forget
  to add code to mount the USB stick).

- For the DNS-323, there's a method to boot ffp and a recent kernel
  with NFS support:
    http://wiki.dns323.info/howto:ffp-reloaded

- The 0.5 version is built with a custom toolchain based on
  binutils-2.18, gcc-4.1 and uClibc-0.9.29. Consequently, the 0.5
  funplug comes with its own set of runtime libraries in
  /ffp/lib. (Earlier fun-plugs used a toolchain created from the GPL
  sources tarball provided by D-Link, and were linked against the
  firmware libraries in /lib.)

- Native binutils and gcc packages are available. Programs compiled
  with these tools will depend on /ffp/lib/ld-uClibc.so.0 as dynamic
  linker and cannot be used without this funplug (unless you know how
  to change the dynamic linker path at compile-time). Compiler and
  linker will also search the /ffp/include and /ffp/lib directories
  for include files and libraries.
 
- All development files (include files, static libraries, etc) are
  included in the respective package files. There are no binary-only
  or development packages. For some packages to compile successfully,
  it may be necessary to relink /bin/sh to /ffp/bin/bash.
  
- The included dns323-utils (dns323-temp, -fan, ...) will use
  libraries in /ffp, too. If you want them to run with firmware
  libraries (e.g. to prevent disk accesses), use a package from here:
