Guide: How to Create a DM500 Dreambox Image

[Devilfish]

Manually download the file and place it in the Archive folder - click the above link, save as, and drag it into the Archive folder.

Then, when you do a 'make dreamboximage_root' it will continue from where it left off. It will look to see if you have the package, if you don't, it will try to download it, if you do, it will continue to the next package. Since you already have that package in the Archive folder, it will jump to the next package.

You can either use an emu manager or you can manually start the emu on bootup.

There are a few forums who don't allow emu talk but if you google 'dreambox nemesis source' you should get the source code that the Nemesis team have released to the public, this has an emu manager in it.

If you only want to run one emu, lets say it's evocamd. Put the evocamd file in /bin (or wherever you want). Edit the /etc/init.d/rcS file to include this line...

/bin/evocamd &

Also, if you are backing up /cdkflash/root before you do a 'rm enigma' ( do this then copy it back after a 'make rebuild-flash') remember to NOT copy over the previous /bin/enigma file as this doesn't have any of your changes.

This caugt me out for quite a while and I couldn't work out why .

yeah now it works all fine openvpn & some other specials are running and i'm reallllly happy
now i'm just do different thinks to be more happy :P

when u will i cann write an howto to integrate openvpn into the image.
there are some difficult things.

[Devilfish]

silly quest ... but where do i put the picture of the background into ?
just into /var/tuxbox/config/enigma/pictures ? or into
/tuxbox-cvs/root/cdkflash/boot/root/platform/kernel ?

i have just put it into both but nothing happend :x

I will write an Howto when everything works fine and i have time to write

[Devilfish]

It should go in /root/platform/kernel and is called bild.

Is it the right resolution, etc.?

Just put the bootup pic in /bin and add a line in /etc/init.d/rcS to load it.

Look for:

/etc/init.d/init1

Add this after the above line:

/bin/showlogo /bin/bild
