SnapServer 1100 - install legacy OS (Linux)?

sontaggsegler · 01-01-2010, 11:58 AM

Hallo,

I am aware that chances are few, but I do not want to give up before asking this.
Is it possible to install a standard OS on a Snap 1100 (or 2200 etc.)?

I fancy a console linux version, maybe preinstalled on the HD, with only telnet access.
A nice possibility, to make the Snap a kind of small low-power PC.

As the HD access of SnapOS does not seem to be PC standard, I assume it is not possible.
Any experience?

Thanks,
sontaggsegler

Not that I'm aware of. The 2200 uses a std boot loader, the issue is drivers for the IO.
