I know they had done black casings, but not personally seen any of the
V2s in Black.

I do recall the reboot command being missing, but there was a way to
reboot it, I think 'init 6' still works. But it's been about a half
year since I touched mine.
There have been a fair bit of changes since I did a major update of
those instructions for early F17. I'll try to look them over tonight
with one of my Pogoplugs.
I can wait until tonight. This has been on my todo list since I picked
up this pogoplug back in the fall.
After this power cycle, I attempted to ssh in, and instead of the

So it did not boot to fedora, your still in the PogoPlug's native linux.
So it seems.

/!\ Do Not Use a normal serial adapter/port! The logic levels will be
at 12volts and will fry your pogoplugs UART.
The pogoplus expects 3.3V logic level.
I personally use one these

We are talking about 2 different things. I thought the instructions
meant I use on of the USB-to-serial dongles like one of these:

Yes, those Pogoplugs only came 256Mb.
Well all I really want it for is a backup server running rsyncd. Thought
samba stuff would be nice but not necessary.
