PepsiMan posted these tidbits of news about DS Linux:
SSH Client
John Skogtvedt has ported the Dropbear SSH Client to DSLinux. See his announcement for details. There are problems with including strong cryptography in programs hosted in the USA, so we are looking for alternative hosting.
Nano-X Window System
The Nano-X Window System is a tiny X11 server for small devices. Bret has modified Nano-X for the DS pixel format (the DS requires bit 15 to be one).
Move to 2.6.14 Completed
The move to the 2.6.14 version of the linux kernel has been completed, and is now included in the nightly builds.
The wifi driver has been improved:
* A bug in the WEP shared key authentication was fixed.
* Problem where the connection hung was fixed.
* Changed to not use the shared memory area.
Stsp has added some configurable init scripts, which can automatically set up a wifi connection on boot.
A new build was added for the GBAMP. This uses a second partition on the CF card as an ext2 formatted root file system. This means that the romfs is not needed in this build so there is more memory available. Installation of this build requires root access to a computer running linux, so the normal GBAMP build will remain for Windows users.
