How to Set Up an NSLU2 with a Mac

Here's an easier way to hack your NSLU: http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Unslung/HomePage

Oh, yeah, I meant to say, the only time I notice anything like bad performance is when I copy new files (and lots of them, or large ones) across to the NSLU2. Then, sometimes my music pauses. And I'm on a wired (100) network.

I bought an NSLU2, to store Music and Movies, so they can be accessed from any of my PC, Mac or Xbox (running XboxMediaCenter). It removed the need to have my iMac running all of the time, and freed up the dozens of gigs worth of songs. And it's easier to look at a list of items than to look through the CD/DVD collection! It was a pinch to set-up, once you know that the web interface can be accessed on the correct address - I didn't even use my PC once to set it up. Of course, the only hassle I have now is that the NSLU2 only uses Samba 2, and extended characters (頦or instance) aren't accessible on my Xbox (but are on the PC/Mac).

Sam, no. Glad this was of help.

this is exactly what i have been trying to figure out how to do!! question: does the streaming of music over your wireless network bog down the rest of your data transfers?
