i know this is an old post - however - i have just read it//// Its thanks to this site that i managed to use it as a reference to an employer and gained myself a linux admin role for a couple of years when i fancied a break from working in security and networking never underestimate the power of the pogoplug :-)by Gravelrash - Off-Topic
Re: Debian on Dell Wyse 3020 - 1 year ago
i strongly recomend you move this request to a different thread so as not to "pollute"/"hijack" this post. in the new post, upload the log files for docker and if someone is knowledgeable with it - i don't mind having a tinker, time allowing. - then they will offer advise on ways forward. you are jumping straight in the deep end though :) trying to run docker andby Gravelrash - Debian

Re: Debian on Dell Wyse 3020 - 1 year ago
Thanks Ray - that's all i was aware of as well.. shame there isn't more that is widely known. ill keep tinkering and see what i can come up with. I'm going to get another unit and see if i can dump the partitions from it to a removable disk - to see if there is anything interesting or obvious on it that will lead to the booting directly from the EMMC. :) I can but hope :) @bodhiby Gravelrash - Debian
Re: Debian on Dell Wyse 3020 - 1 year ago
Does anyone have a link to documentation on the wloader? particularly on what can be passed via the wloader.cfg? . Id be very interested in reading this and seeing what i can make it do - my inexperience with this kind of loader has not allowed me to boot from the mmc. ive tried a simple approach of having a small vfat partition on the emmc and the rootfs on an ext3 partition behind it on the eby Gravelrash - Debian

https://wiki.laptop.org/go/Firmware this seems to be a good replacement for the wloader and the source is open q7c07.rom ill maybe try flashing that and see if it breaks this device later after i have tried the install instructions EDIT : TLDR my attempt at making sense of all the above instructions and then doing the following in the next post.... no cigar :(by Gravelrash - Debian
Re: Debian on Dell Wyse 3020 - 1 year ago
found this..... Linux on this same box QUESTION :do we actually need to do all the above? the device has the ability to select and i guess set a boot device in the wloader itself - if you hold the powerbutton till it goes green and then repeatedly press the P key - it shows the available boot options EDIT: or ive missed a few pages of discussions... going to be trying teh install inby Gravelrash - Debian
