Load the NIC module, then run udhcpc. The computer you're plugged into
basically becomes a host for your HD (camera in this case). You can use
all its hardware, given you've got resources on yur HD (modules, progs
like udhcpc) to do so.

I could put a uclibc-dynamic complete busybox onto the memory card along with the required uclibc libraries (or learn to compile a static version). Or make a version specific to camera use (don't need hdparm for a memory card). And put busybox in its own partition added to the path.

I would need to have the NIC module for whatever computer we were plugged into. And a kernel that was compiled to use a LOT of different ethernet modules - would it still fit into a 1-floppy boot linux? I would also need to learn how to replace David's kernel, even if it did.

Probably easier just to go online with the software that is already on the computer.


Our flash disk is August 2005. If we boot into ro mode, we can't edit the
photos and put them back onto the camera.

You'd have 2 partitions: cameras can't write to an ext2 partition anyway.
The ext2 BL partition could be ro (I presume), and the DOS partition(s)
where the photos reside rw. This assumes the programs you're using to edit
don't need to write to the root filesystem while they run.

I have no idea if they write to anything while running, other than RAM, which they use a LOT of. My partner takes crooked pictures and wants to rotate them, say 23 degrees clockwise, then lop them off to be level rectangles again and replace the original image on the camera memory card with the fixed one.

Why bother having an ro linux partition if we are writing to the rest of the memory card anyway?
