Routerboard and Untangle

Sat Jan 24, 2009 9:08 am

Hi guys, I wasn't sure where to post this so apologies if it's in the wrong spot.

I know the routerboards can run Linux OK, is there anybody out there who has managed to load the GNU Untangle product http://www.untangle.com/

It's a great product, and being able to load it onto a routerboard would provide an excellent opportunity to use both great products together and be able to offer customers a unique solution to web and email filtering etc.

Regards
Paul

You will need RouterBoard 230 since it only runs on x86 hardware...

Thankyou very much
But i don't think that you can run it... since it will need a screencard and boot from a cdrom drive...
If you are lucky, you can use a PCI screencard... but then the problem with booting from a cdrom drive!

There maybe one way to do it... take another pc and install it on to a IDE or CF drive, then get it to use the tty console for the screen and then slap the drive into the RB230.

Thanks, yes I thought of that, once I can get it running once, I can just image it onto another CF card or IDE drive.
