Can someone who is good with Linux check out this page and maybe help me get this working?  I don't know if the instructions aren't clear making me confused, or me just not being familiar enough with Linux to figure it out

Thanks soooooo much for the help in advance!

I might have figured it out.  I didn't think I had to build the kernel on the C1 but I misread it.  I had to build it with NFS, so I'm almost done doing that.  Once I get that done and get back on that page again I might ask about a few things.

I decided it wasn't worth booting these from NFS, especially since it was such a pain in the ass to get the compiled files off the machine I built them on. It's a Hyper-V Ubuntu install and for some reason Hyper-V only lets you access USB files when you RDP in, not when you connect locally to the VM.  And then it bitched about my NFS share, which Lubuntu didn't so I said fuck you!  That's why I use Debian, I can't fucking stand Ubuntu.

NFS can be a pain to set up. Once it's up though I find it is very reliable, and considerably faster than afp and samba. [debian-based] Ubuntu is generally speaking better documented, and has a whole lot more software available than debian (though I actually prefer older releases). YMMV :-{)

I usually don't have issues mounting a share, but I was trying to boot.  Turns out I had to build a new kernel with nfs enabled... screw that.

You had to compile the kernel with nfs for odroid or for ubuntu? OIC (I guess). You wanted to netboot ubuntu on odroid hardware over nfs?

If I knew what in blazes you were talking about, I'd have helped for sure. I can get printers to work, fix sound and video issues - but NFS troubles you must do on your own.

If you need to boot from a drive that has no OS on it, I can even help you with that. Wait, what?

Well at one point I'm pretty sure that's what I was trying to accomplish.  It didn't go so well.

No, I got pissed and decided to do it the old fashioned way by booting of the micro SD cards.  I just thought it would be nice to use NFS because I will have 25 of these running screens throughout the facility, but it really doesn't matter.  Just set one up and image the cards.
