Hey all -
I'm a half-seasoned Linux nut, but pretty new to the embedded computer thing.
I chose the TS-7200 for a secure remote-serial/reverse tunnel project,
basically linking lasers at customer sites via serial port to LabView machines
at the support facility.
Thusfar, all of my code works perfect on it and I pretty much have this thing
configured exactly how I need it with the exception of a few key things...
NOTE: I have disabled the console, and the device is now booting from the CF
card (I purchased the 2.4 based Debian distro through Technologic Systems).
1. The version of socat in the repositories is rather old (v1.4), I REALLY
need the 2.0.0-b4 version, as the previous is not stable with my app. I tried
compiling the newer version but many errors result.

make: *** [socat.o] Error 1
========================================================
The more I read, the more I think I'll need the 2.6 Kernel to compile
correctly. I could be wrong. Also, a bit concerned with CF card support in
2.6, as the website indicates that there was no official testing. They
recommended different hardware for 2.6.
2. Powering down unsafely will be common-place once this things is deployed,
and I really don't want the CF card corrupted. I've read that some people have
managed to mount the card as read-only and create ramdrives for linking things
that must change in the OS.
Is there a standard procedure for doing this?
Thanks in advance!
Dan
