You may have seen my references to using a diskless base using Knoppmyth. Currently I'm still trying to fix a few things, in particular large memory usage which I don't know where it comes from.
The setup is an Epia M6000 (fanless), which has MPEG 2 decoder built in. It also has PXE capabilities, so I don't have to use etherboot. I installed Knoppmyth while a HD was attached to it (Knoppmyth R5A16 has been the only thing so far where I've got the Epia working with hardware accel. and matching my back end) Then I copied the install to the NFS server, did a new kernel and got a working system. Once the problems are fixed, I want to write some more detailed documentation, but for now I can answer specific questions. I guess this is a good time to ask, how many people would want that kind of document? Hope this helps, Alberto On Mon, 2005-10-31 at 11:18 +0000, Adam Skinner wrote: > Hi , > > I would like to setup a diskless mythtv frontend.
