This weekend after coming back from interviewing in the Bay Area I finally have time to play with the BeagleBone I won at SCALE10x, it is an awesome device. I am turning it into a NAS, web server and who knows what else. First the basics, I finally found a way to upgrade the Ångström Linux.

Upgrade took 4 hours, made the mistake of not setting up a screen session so I could disconnect for a while. Missed seeing

Got to spend some more time hacking at this BeagleBoard for Saturday, presenting at LiLAX.net

Did you get around the ‘No Space Left’ error?
I just wanted to say that the upgrade took so because of overheating, it locks up to cool down. I did the same thing while upgrading so I took a cpu heat sink I had lying around and popped (with great force) the copper core out of it and out a tiny dab of thermal compound on it after it had locked up on one of the installs and placed it on the ARM CPU. It made the rest of the install go fine. As for the space once you run the upgrade delete the install ipks and rerun rinse repeat. I know it's a hacky workaround but it works.
