Frequently Asked Questions
Linux operating system
How do I tell what the Linux image
version/build number is?
To obtain the Linux image version, click GO > Settings > System >
General or right-click on the desktop and select Settings >
System/General. The General dialog box provides system
information, including the image version. The image designation
format is as follows:
■ L4ST31xx : is the 256MB flash memory image and includes the
Firefox browser.
■ L3ST31xx : is the 128MB flash memory image and includes the
Firefox browser.
■ L1ST31xx : is the 32 MB flash memory image on the t5125.
where xx represents the image build number. The original factory
image is L1ST3138.
How and where is the Linux image stored in
flash memory?
The image is stored in various formats. The boot up process
decompresses and loads certain portions of the image in RAM. Some
features and aspects of the image are not loaded until they are needed.
The image is stored in the following three partitions:
/dev/hda1 - ext2 - boot loader
/dev/hda2 - cramfs - majority of the image
/dev/hda3 - ext2 - optional components and home directories
