Announcing a new project
Hi folks, I'm working on a new readynas related project. Let me start by saying I love these things. I have a bunch of Pro6 and RN516 particularly, but I've worked on lots of different models. ...
Yeah you and I know that. But I don't want amateur users wading into this without knowing it's destructive and a one-way trip, UNLESS they've taken a backup of the FLASH. We take for granted that we now how to do it. 99% of readynas users dont, and majority have never used a linux CLI, let alone DD, booted an alternative OS etc.
I just want to be clear - just because it looks 'something' like a polished UI, doesn't make it suitable for everyone.

Precisely why I wanted to use FAI. Once the drives are partitioned and formatted, and GRUB and generic Linux are installed, it'll be easier to either make unit-specific scripts that do the rest or even then go with if-then-else in just a couple (I'm guessing legacy and native OS6 units would be more difficult to do in a single script).
