Hi I have found a file called freevo-boot.rpm, which allowes freevo to start immediately after X has started. This gives me a lot more flexability in the OS I choose to use. (I'm considering Gentoo, though Damn Small Linux and Movix seem like better candidates right now - Freevix is simply too limited in scope in terms of harware support). However none of the distributions I have tried support the rpm format natively. Is there somewhere I can download this file and compile it myself? Also what is the latest version of this file and is it included with each new version of freevo?
All advice is welcome.
