Traditionally network device names in linux started with eth0/wlan0 where number 0 was incremented for each additional device. Problem with this naming was that device numbers did not match actual locations in computer.

Starting with v197 systemd/udev assigns predictable, stable network interface names for all local Ethernet, WLAN and WWAN interfaces. Naming is based on firmware, topology and location information.

Advantage of this approach is that the names are fully automatic, predictable and they stay fixed even if the hardware is removed or added. This allows hardware to be replaced without network cards being renamed.

Device naming is following the schemes:

• o = onboard device
• s = PCI hotplug
• x = MAC address
• P = PCI domain
• p = PCI bus number
• s = slot number

For example device enp0s3 would be Ethernet device in PCI bus 0 slot 3.

Ethernet device named by MAC address would start with en followed by x and MAC address (f.e. enx00112233445566).

PCI hotplug Ethernet device would start with en followed by s and the slot number, followed by f and the function number for cards that have more than one function (f.e. ens1f4).

You can mount a removable device or mounted network drive by using drvfs:

sudo mkdir /mnt/x
sudo mount -t drvfs X: /mnt/x

Or you could use UNC (Universal Naming Convention) format to mount:

sudo mkdir /mnt/folder
sudo mount -t '\\server\folder' /mnt/folder

First check if you have swap configured:

swapon --show

IF empty you can create for example 256MB swap file with following commands:

fallocate -l 256M /var/swap
chmod 600 /var/swap
mkswap /var/swap
swapon /var/swap

You can again check if swap is properly configured:

#swapon --show
NAME      TYPE SIZE USED PRIO
/var/swap file 256M   0B   -2

#free -m
              total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:            480         109         140           9         229         312
Swap:           255           0         255

For example if you want to download rom files from specific site and to ignore all other file types you can use:

wget -A rom -m -p -E -k -K -np http://files.swos.eu/amiga/kickroms/

Additional extensions you can separate with comma (,).

Please edit your /boot/config.txt file with following contents:

# uncomment to force a console size. By default it will be display's size minus
# overscan.
framebuffer_width=1024
framebuffer_height=600

hdmi_force_hotplug=1
#hdmi_ignore_edid=0xa5000080
hdmi_cvt=1024 600 60 3 0 0 0

# uncomment to force a specific HDMI mode (this will force VGA)
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=87
