Overview:

The Intimate distibution is a Debian Arm based distrobution for use with the Familiar distribution providing a full linux environment for use with Micro Drives (or in our case, over NFS). This instructions below are for installing Intimate for use over NFS, so you will need an NFS server. This also assumes you have Familiar installed using my custom jffs2 images (or at leaset have pivot_root installed and a properly modified /linuxrc.intimate).

NFS Setup:

This is quick and dirty. For more details on NFS, see: http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/NFS-HOWTO/index.html

Create /intimate directory (or whever you want to put the Intimate TARball) for remote mounting.

Setup /etc/exports file. Replace the 172.16.4.0/24 network with you own addresses:

Linux:

    nfsserver:~# cat /etc/exports
    /intimate 172.16.4.0/255.255.255.0(rw,no_root_squash)

FreeBSD (see http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/nfs.html:

    nfsserver:~# cat /etc/exports
    /intimate -maproot=0 -network 172.16.4 -mask 255.255.255.0

Start/Restart NFS Server:

Linux:

    nfsserver:~# /etc/init.d/nfs restart

    nfsserver:~# /usr/sbin/exportfs -r -v

FreeBSD: (restart)

    nfsserver:~# portmap
    nfsserver:~# nfsd -u -t -n 4
    nfsserver:~# mountd -r

FreeBSD: (start)

    nfsserver:~# kill -HUP `head -1 /var/run/mountd.pid`

Setup Intimate:

You need to setup the Intimate files on a server that can provide NFS:

Download http://intimate.handhelds.org/intimate20010622.tgz and untar to /intimate:

    nfsserver:~# cd /intimate
    nfsserver:~# tar zxf /pathtofile/intimate20010622.tgz

Apply my modifications (m5dsum) to the base setup. This allows for you to use the hostname, resolver settings, time settings and ssh key files off the iPAQ (so multiple peoble can use the NFS mount - you need to be careful about /var write access):

    nfsserver:~# cd /intimate
    nfsserver:~# rm -f etc/hostname
    nfsserver:~# rm -f etc/resolv.conf
    nfsserver:~# rm -f etc/localtime
    nfsserver:~# wget http://www.prism.gatech.edu/~gt6131b/sshf2001/intimate/fix-intimate.tar.gz
    nfsserver:~# wget http://www.prism.gatech.edu/~gt6131b/sshf2001/intimate/fix-intimate.tar.gz.md5sum
    nfsserver:~# md5sum -vc fix-intimate.tar.gz.md5sum
    nfsserver:~# tar zxf fix-intimate.tar.gz
    nfsserver:~# rm -f fix-intimate.tar.gz
    nfsserver:~# rm -f fix-intimate.tar.gz.md5sum

The fix-intimate.tar.gz file contains missing files that Intimate wants to boot X properly, a modified /etc/fstab file to prevent allow for /boot mounting of /dev/mdtblock3, and links to /boot/... so you can use thie files on the handheld (see above).

Setup Familiar:

Setup /etc/fstab to mount NFS server:

  # cat /etc/fstab
  #           
  /dev/mtdblock3  /               jffs2           defaults 0 0
  ramfs           /mnt/ramfs      ramfs           defaults 0 0
  proc            /proc           proc            defaults 0 0
  devpts          /dev/pts        devpts          mode=0622       0 0
  gargamel.buserror.org:/export/ipaq/nfs/intimate /mnt/nfs nfs nolock,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 0 0

Adjust linuxargs param:

  # ipaqbb --set linuxargs="noinitrd devfs=mount root=/dev/mtdblock/3 \
    init=/linuxrc.intimate console=ttySA0" --verbose

  boot> set linuxargs "noinitrd devfs=mount root=/dev/mtdblock/3 init=/linuxrc.intimate console=ttySA0"
  boot> params save

Update Intimate:

Once the Intimate files are on the NFS server and Familiar is ready to go, boot into Intimate and follow the steps below to update the insulation:

Remove ssh2 and install openssh:
```
    # apt-get remove ssh2
    # rm -rf /etc/ssh2
    # apt-get install ssh libssl0.9.6
```
Say YES to the SUID install and to running the server. The version of OpenSSH installed with Intimate is the same as with Familiar (currently 2.5.2p2), but it has the proper (and newer) version of ssh-keygen to allow for the creation of RSA2 keys. The install should generate the /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key file (linked to /boot/etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key automagically.

Now you might want to install some other apps:
```
    # apt-get install vim patch cvs
```
On the CVS setup menu, remove everything from the path and DO NOT setup the pserver. Also, once vim is install, you need to update the alternatives:
```
    # update-alternatives --auto vi
```
Finally, you need to update the apt-get listings and update the whole system:
```
    # apt-get update
    # apt-get upgrade
```
