Q: |
What does fli4l mean ? |
A: |
FLI4L originally stands for: FL
oppy Isdn
4 Linux (router).
In the meantime this is not really up-to-date because FLI4L now
supports DSL and PPTP. Therefore itīs only: FLI4L ;-)
|
Q: |
What about a forum for FLI4L ? |
A: |
This is not a really good idea since a forum is only
readable if you are online; and that may be too expensive for those
who are not using a flatrate. But: besides that there is an IRC chat
and a newsgroup for FLI4L;
see:
www.fli4l.de
|
Q: |
Do I have to enter the FLI4L router as proxy in
my browser settings ? |
A: | NO. FLI4L is a router and MUST NOT be entered in the browser settings. This is only allowed if you installed a proxy server on the FLI4L router (ex.: OPT_Junkbuster).
|
Q: |
Which LC displays can be used in conjunction with FLI4L ? |
A: | At least you may use all types of LC displays which use a Hitache 44780 chip and which have a display range between 16 characters in two lines and 40 characters in four lines.
|
Q: |
Where do I find LC displays for FLI4L ? |
A: | For example at: www.elektronikladen.de und bei www.conrad.de
|
Q: |
May I use a flash module for FLI4L ? |
A: | Yes, as long as it is a CompactFlash™, you may use these modules as "hard disk"
|
Q: | What does display of cat/proc/loadavg mean ? |
A: | cat /proc/loadavg:0.18 0.20 0.18 1/21 22582 0.18 load, averaged to 1 Minute, updated every 5 seconds 0.20 averaged to 5 minutes 0.18 averaged to 15 minutes 1/21 one task (process) of 21 is "runnable". that would have been cat /proc/loadavg 22582 was/is the last PID of the system load of 1 means that a process asks for resources; Linux adds waiting for hard disk.
|
Q: | AVM offers a CAPI driver; when will this be included in FLI4L ? |
A: | Never. As long as AVM does not give its sources as free license, CAPI4Linux will not be officially included into FLI4L. If you know a solution which is not from AVM (== Capi4Linux), mail it to us and we will think about an inclusion. But remeber: this CAPI solution must also be under GPL.
|
Q: | Why do you use ENS as DNS from version 1.5.2 ? And why do I have to enter a DNS_FORWARDER ? This wasnīt necessary up to now. |
A: | Before version 1.5.2 the program dnscache was used as DNS for FLI4L. This program can be used as free software, but is not under GPL. To get the GPL status for FLI4L, all used programs must have the GPL status.Therefore itīs now: ENS. Entering DNS_FORWARDERS was not necessary in the past because dnscache manages IP/name resolution via root servers. This name resolution often takes more time.
