OK, "it works" to this extent: I can ssh into it, I can see the /mnt/storage dir, I can delete some .wol files to make some room, I can copy .epub files to the /mnt/storage dir using scp.
However, when I disconnect the cable, I am in the same state I was in on my previous attempt: I can't get to the books. Pressing the key for Library has no effect. Ditto Images, Audio. Games does get me to a menu of games. Applications gets me to a blank page. Setup gets me to setup options. But there seems to be no way to get into the list of files in /mnt/storage!
User Guide mentions a "disks" menu which I don't see on my screen.
So far, though it's a hoot to talk directly to the tiny little linux system, OI still isn't working for me as a book reader :-) I must be missing some very basic configuration issue. Do I have to run an app (as root, ssh'd in) to get the "Library" feature to see my .epub files in /mnt/storage?
If I hit the 0 (right arrow) key while looking at the main menu, I get to a text-only version, headed with text "GM:Help". This turns out to be a help facility, explaining each main menu item. However, it doesn't explain how to get the Library menu item to show me a list of books.
I think I'll roll back to v0.2 release and see if that works any better. somehow get the feeling I'm being a beta tester here :-) happy to oblige!
