Thats what I would do as well. You need to have some kind of cron job in either the car computer or a home pc that tests if the car is around. >From there just setup an rsync server to mirror a tree on the car computer. Rsync also seems to be great for web sites, especially if you are on a modem or what have you. With a cron job setup on the server to sync occasionally and a private rsync server, the job of keeping the site in sync even on a really slow connection is quite easy. > > On Thu, 17 Mar 2005, Andrew Close wrote: > > > On Thu, 17 Mar 2005 16:59:48 -0700, Nathan Hesson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Rather new to the mythtv scene but had an idea and wanted to see what > > > kindof response this got.
