I have read your blog and it seems the best documented so far. Good for you! I only have one problem which is I have to stick with ubuntu whether I like it or not. Is there any way I use your guide just have ubuntu instead of debian?

Thanks a lot men

I would like to reinstall OS, namely Ubuntu 9.04 on my PlugComputer since other people worked on it and now there are missing libraries.
Instead of fixing it I would like to reinstall the OS and return it to factory state.

I tried to follow these instructions http://www.plugcomputer.org/plugwiki/index.php/Getting_the_Plug_Computer_Running_with_an_Operating_System#Flashing_the_Plug_Computer_to_Boot_Itself and I did get the part on how to connect PlugComputer to my Linux machine via USB and then use Putty terminal to connect from Linux to PlugComputer.
Now I am connected to PlugComputer but I get stuck on the next step http://www.plugcomputer.org/plugwiki/index.php/Flashing_an_Operating_System_onto_the_Plug which is creating jffs2 image. How do I create it? Do I first have to download Ubuntu 9.04 source distribution from http://plugcomputer.org/index.php/us/resources/downloads?func=select&id=2 then unpack it on my Linux machine to some local folder and build it there first with mkfs.jffs2? It is not that clear in this tutorial but I am guessing this is what I have to do, am I right?

Thanks,

I was finally able to find a solution and just a quick feedback... I had to install Java SE Embedded, it's a version specifically designed for such devices with ARM architecture. Thx for your replies...

I downloaded pretty much a universal JRE 6, not the one specifically for armv5. Is there a version of JRE 6 specifially for armv5? And where do I get it?

Thx

I tried to install standard JRE 6 on my PlugComputer (runs ARMv5 Linux - Ubuntu 9.04) but it hangs after it starts extracting unzipped files. I tried several times, but the same things happens every time. Seems like it runs out of resources. Installation file is about 20MB, and the entire installation directory when it is finished is about 100MB. I have 280MB available so the storage space can't be the problem.

Did anybody have the similar problem installing JRE 6? Does anybody know what I am doing wrong? Please help
