A2SERVER

When you type A2SERVER-setup, a series of scripts are downloaded from appleii.ivanx.com and executed, some with root privileges. They are run from the /tmp folder, and deleted upon completion.

Here is what they do, in the order shown (click the links to view the scripts themselves):

Master setup script

  • checks for supported OS and warns if it isn't

  • offers to change user password (Raspberry Pi only)

  • runs all of the scripts below

  • offers to download a replacement kernel with AppleTalk support (Raspberry Pi only)

Storage setup (runs during initial setup, skipped on subsequent runs)

  • Make the /media/A2SHARED directory

A2SERVER tools install (always runs)

  • download, compile, and install nulib2 (ShrinkIt archive utility), into /usr/local/bin

  • install libraries required for compiling The Unarchiver

  • download, compile, and install unar/lsar (The Unarchiver), into /usr/local/bin

  • install A2SERVER tools into /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/etc: afpsync, afptype, cppo, mkatinit, volnifo, aliases (described at the bottom of this page)

  • set up aliases file to be read at each login (/etc/profile)

  • customize pre-login message on Ubuntu (/etc/issue), or post-login message on non-Ubuntu (/etc/motd)

Netatalk install and configure (runs during initial setup and if upgrade to Netatalk is required; otherwise skipped)

  • stop Netatalk service if it is running

  • update package list and upgrade packages

  • download and install libraries required for compiling Netatalk

  • download Netatalk source code

  • modify source code to make dates work correctly

  • compile and install Netatalk

  • set up Netatalk configuration files for Apple II use

  • start Netatalk service

Network boot setup (always runs)

  • ask whether user wants network boot (skips to the last step in this section if not)

  • download boot blocks disk from Apple and convert it to raw block dump file

  • copy boot blocks files and BASIC.SYSTEM

  • use mkatinit to enable Apple II network boot

  • patch boot block files to support cleartext passwords, and typing "8" during IIGS network startup to force ProDOS 8 boot

  • ask user whether to download and install GS/OS

  • ask whether user wants to download disk image and file utilities

  • ask whether user wants to install Farallon bridge patch

Windows file sharing (always runs)

  • ask whether user wants Windows file sharing, and if so:

  • download and install samba, and start the service

  • set up samba configuration files

  • if user doesn't want Windows file sharing, stop the samba service

Console optimizing (runs during initial setup, skipped on subsequent runs)

  • disable default Ubuntu Server login message

  • make console clear boot messages before initial login prompt

  • eliminate piix4_smbus error message before initial login prompt

  • prevent console from going blank after ten minutes of inactivity (after login)

  • resolve a slow-scrolling problem in Ubuntu Server 10.04 (only)
