But I cannot get this to do anything apart from a black screen. The init script as written doesnt work as there is a race condition between forking and the first exquisite-write being performed. You really should provide a daemon mode for exquisite that performs all setup then forks and exits. Im not sure about the mounting/unmounting of the tmpfs. Also need to inherit update-rc.d in .bb file otherwise it never gets started. I can handle all the .bb problems, but fundamentally I cant get this working so Im stuck. Graeme
