Another thought, and one that could potentially put the brakes on installing SlimServer on this thing.
What flavour of Linux does it run? Unfortunately, it's not any old Linux, it's: > Linux 2.6 for AMD Geode and Intel Xscale (from http://www.pepper.com/platform/system_software.html ) This seems to imply that it's custom-complied for those processors. But all the same, the AMD LX800 is an x86 processor according to AMD. However, is it just a custom-compiled kernel with an overlaying windowing system, or is it Red Hat, Debian, gentoo, etc? This will have an impact on what you can install. I would assume, this being a Linux device, that there's a development community out there for it that would have more answers to these questions. There are some indications at http://www.pepper.com/linux/ that all software needs to be specially-compiled for it. I've never had to do anything like this, I'm not sure how tricky it could be. But it's not as simple as just downloading something to it and installing. If anyone does get this device, they should get the Unix SlimServer forum involved. I'm sure one of the 'nix gurus there can help out. I'd hate to see gandt realize at about 11:30 AM on Christmas Day that you can't just download SlimServer to it and away you go... :-( -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29980 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
