SlugOS/BE Local LCD display with piping
On fresh slug:

A few conveniences:
<verbatim>
echo "#!/bin/sh\nexec /bin/ls -la --color=auto ${@}" > /bin/ll && chmod 755 /bin/ll
echo "#!/bin/sh\nexec /bin/ps ${@}" > /bin/pp && chmod 755 /bin/pp
</verbatim>

Install LCD stuff
<verbatim>
ipkg update
ipkg install kernel-module-ftdi-sio
ipkg install lcdd
ipkg install lcdd-driver-mtxorb
</verbatim>

Patch the config
<verbatim>
