I'm trying the OS now.  Is there a way to keep files around after reboot?  Every time I restart I lose all the changes I had made.

Yes use the USB version and choose persistence.
I must be doing something wrong then.  I booted with the persistence option.  I then open up xterm, installed vim and created a file.  I rebooted with "shutdown -r now", I booted back up with the persistence option but the changes I made were not there.

Any tips?

strange, downloading usb, let's see what it shows/.

Yep very strange ? Even more so that you managed to burn the ISO and use it lol !! Ok let me know how you get on. The persistent space on the USB install is only 512mb. You can add more by following the guide posted on the first post of this thread.

The MD5 hash don't match with the file i downloaded from this site today.
my hash is   MD5: d50c4d3a38a1349111bac5f69b9571f1  linuxcoin-v0.1b-ati-cd.iso
while it says CD MD5: 71e5253bc5bda47003c57d71c52db869  linuxcoin-v0.1b-ati-cd.iso
My file size is 684 MB (717,387,776 bytes) on win7 32.
Who is wrong?

0.05BTC says the MD5 hash you (and i) got is the hash for version 0.1a...
I so far downloaded 2 files from this thread
1. file
Name: linuxcoin-v0.1b-ati.iso
Size:540 MB (567,076,684 bytes)



2.file
Name:linuxcoin-v0.1b-ati-cd.iso
Size:684 MB (717,387,776 bytes)



The first one was the old ISO with the fglrx bug. The second is a mystery to me ??

Yes use the USB version and choose persistence.
I just tried out to. I liked it very much and everything worked smoothly in my opinion I'm still convinced that this a very interesting project.
The only thing that bothers me is that I couldn’t get my wifi to work at all on my hp compaq6510b when using LinuxCoin. But if I remember correctly I have had this problem with other live distributions as well so LinuxCoin is not to blame.

Anyway. Great work!

What Wifi card ? I'll see if I can patch up Wink

please add AMDOverdriveCtrl.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/amdovdrvctrl/

absolutely essential for over/underclocking.

DiabloMiner would be nice, too... (and keep your eye on Hashkill)

Nope I missed AMDOverdrivectl. Over/underclocking can be done using aticonfig Wink

Enable overclocking ..
Code:
aticonfig --enable-od

next lets get the clocks

Code:
aticonfig --odgc --adapter=your adapter

Set them to what you want.

Code:
aticonfig --odsc 900,900 --adapter=youradapter

And commit them

Code:
aticonfig --odcc --adapter=youradapter

And set the fan speed to 70% (a good setting for most 5XXX&6XXX cards)

Code:
DISPLAY=:0.youradapter aticonfig --pplib-cmd="set fanspeed 0 70"

Here's a little bash magic to test your card temps.


Code:
while true; do
        aticonfig --adapter=0 --od-gettemperature | tail -n1 | awk '{print "Current temp: " $5}' ;
        aticonfig --adapter=0 --od-gettemperature | tail -n1 | awk '{print "Current temp: " $5}' ;
        echo $(aticonfig --odgc --adapter=0| grep GPU);
        echo $(aticonfig --odgc --adapter=1| grep GPU);
# Next lines are to check your balance if solo mining
#        BALANCE=$(bitcoind getbalance)
#        echo -ne "Bitcoin Balance: ${BALANCE}\r";
        sleep 35;
        clear
done

But I will look into adding AMDoverdrivectl. Diablo miner will be added on the next version and I will take a look at hashkill.

The md5sun for the CD version is 28bc5b424e3f33779f67fbe4fe1a9a67 I'll update now.

Don't forget the USB version is uploaded now Wink

Wow, really looking forward to this. If I ever get a dedicated mining rig I should definitely try this, instead of going with the easy Windows way

Why not use the ATI Stream SDK v2.1 for better performance?
Isn't there a problem with 6990 Cards? Or are they supported by 2.1 too?
I don't know, but I'm running my 6990 cards on 2.4.  I think 2.3 works too.

No problem.  When you get it uploaded I'll test it out and give you my feedback.

I could not download the link.  Where do I get the ISO?  BTW, I think this project is brilliant.  I'll definitely be donating you some BTC if I get it to work on my machines.
