After a lot of work I finally got a BASH prompt on my S2 Philips 7000 Dtivo. Now I’[m trying to edit my hackinit file and send it to my tivo per Cobellas guide. I used Edit pad to compile the file and made sure it was set to convert to unix. I saved the file on my win2k machine and it saved as a txt file. I didn’t think this was correct so I then saved it as a binary (don’t know a lot about linux so I’m groping as I go).
Next I used Hyperterm and connected via serial (I’m not very experienced using file transfer). Got my bash prompt. Using the “send file” command, under transfer using Zmodem, I selected the hackinit file and transferred it to the /var/hack directory. When I perform an ls on the /var/hack directory the file appears in capital letters (HACKINIT.BIN). The original hackinit file is still there and not replaced. Am I saving the file incorrectly? Transferring the file incorrectly? Also, what’s the linux command to view or print the hackinit file? I see others who post their logs and hackinit files for other to review. I’d like to understand how this is done.
Finally, I got the BASH prompt working and was able to activate Ethernet connections using a netgear FA120 adapter. I can connect using Hyperterm via winsock port 23, I can ping using command prompt, but when I use IE6 I can’t make a connection. I looked in my DCHP tables on my Lynksis router and I can see my series 1 with turbonet but it doesn’t recognize the new connection with the FA120 on my series2. Any suggestions, if I can’t connect via IE Tivoweb won’t me much help.
