There are three scripts in the slimserver wiki. Mine is based (or is?) #1: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?DebianStartupScript1 > I've read many "how-to's" on Knoppix, DSL, etc. remastering, but I > must > be missing something when it comes to the Perl & SlimServer > interaction. What's the issues you encounter? The perl installed on DSL is _very_ basic. It includes not much more than the executable. I'm using my self-compiled perl 5.8 (available from my site) with SlimCD, though it was originally compiled for a redhat 7.3 base distro (e-smith, contribs.org). > Can you point me to a HOW-TO I can read for DSL that would make it a > little clearer.

I started using the following instructions found in the DLS forums: http://damnsmalllinux.org/cgi-bin/forums/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=12;t=7177 The forum, blogs and wiki over there are obviously the best source for information about DSL. > The Xbox makes a very suitable platform for a headless music server > due > to its architecture as a simple Celeron 733 with 64MB of SDRAM, IDE > channel, HDD and DVD-ROM, 4 USB ports (don't let anyone tell you they > aren't just glorified USB 1.1 ports), 10/100 NIC, nVidia nForce3 > graphics and a 256k to 1M flash ROM. 64MB of RAM might be very rather scarce. SlimServer uses about 35-40MB (on my system). SlimCD should work fine with 128MB, but I never tried less than this. > - a local ripping station There might be quite some interest in an easily set up auto-ripping installation :-) Good luck with your project! -- Michael ----------------------------------------------------------- Help translate SlimServer by using the SlimString Translation Helper (http://www.herger.net/slim/) _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
