Fixed the dropbear problem after running strings on the binary
and seeing /etc/dropbear/authorized_keys. I moved the file there
and now I can ssh into the WhiteRussian rc4 system without a password. Still
can't get WDS talking though, even though I now remembered to set
wl0_lazywds=0, which shouldn't matter anyway if wl0_wds
is nonblank. Also had to move the router in the community center to a
different room because it was interfering with the silly-assed cordless
phone, also 2.4GHz, so now I have an intermittent signal. My unternet is
completely broken. Shit.
On the plus side, I was able to install DragonLinux on a Win98 box without
a bootable CDROM, and finagling with the msdos.sys, autoexec.bat, and
dragon.bat files makes it boot up into Linux almost without indication
that it has any Microsoft crap on it at all. Hint: bootgui=0 and add
logo=0.
Then add to dragon.bat the line :bootnow right before the loadlin call.
Finally, make a clean autoexec.bat with the lines:
@echo off cd \dragon dragon fast
If you want to really get fancy, you can download one of the Linux penguin logos and
fix msdos.sys to show it (probably have to convert it to .BMP
format first), but I don't know how to do that and am not interested enough
to google it.
