Upgrading then Installing windows 8 on an HP t510 thin client. Installing Windows 10 on this thin client: Produce. Install Php Java Bridge Xampp Windows more.
I have a HP Compaq t5000 ThinClient. It’s a x86 small computer, which I decided to use as a headless small server. Currently it runs Windows XP.
I want to install Debian Linux on it. In order to do this I need a storage device, because I don’t want to erase the Windows XP from the flash memory. Fortunately the flash memory is connected to the motherboard with a 44-pin IDE connector. I bought an adapter for a Compact Flash memory card. I bought a cheap Kingston 4GB CF card, it was a little mistake to buy cheap and low performance card. When I tried to install a basic system on it, there were errors, saying that the write goes of of bounds of the device. Another error was that the inodes from ext2 file system were damaged and referenced to other.
SO I bought another CF card, this time it’s a SanDisk Ultra 30 MB/s. I installed the basic Debian Linux system and it works without the I/O errors. What I did so far.
In order to create and install the basic system I used a Debian Linux 6 installed on a VM. Hp Compaq Nx9010 Wifi Drivers. Then I downloaded the basic system (all operations below done as root): $ mkdir -v debian_hp $ debootstrap --arch i386 squeeze debian_hp Next I chrooted into the newly installed system: $ mount -t proc proc debian_hp/proc $ mount -o bind /dev debian_hp/dev $ LC_ALL=C chroot debian_hp /bin/bash There are some packages to install: $ apt-get install openssh-server linux-image-2.6.32-5-486 grub Right now I am testing the CF card solution and it is RW, later when I configure my system better I will setup it to run as a RO file system, so there won’t be any writing to the card.
