No sweat Michael...since I've seen your perl stuff in the Plugins section, you may find you can clean up the script a bit...since it's old. I made some obvious mods for the file naming arrangement and to have the system beep at me five times to summon me to feed the next CD, but that was real kid stuff based on copying someone else's work. I find AutoRip particularly powerful to help friends rip their CD collections. With player software to secure album art, lyrics, etc. it's a really nice open source solution. Low system overhead with DSL running, too. I've done DSL on a USB memory stick and it's sensational. It shouldn't be too much harder to add the autorip pieces. I have a couple of other projects on the go so this would be later. BTW, I am the guy who originally PM'd you to start this thread. I had some remaining questions about the SlimCD-specific files. I had looked through the directory trees on SlimCD and tried building my own from scratch, with success for x86, PPC and Xbox. Since I was running a dedicated server though, I removed the Java runtime since I didn't need SoftSqueeze and I go on runlevel 2 only. However, my scripting skills are zero (self training in progress though :-), so reproducing your remaster via automated copying and removal is not an option for me without some tips from someone like you (including any links for self-training). I see directories in SlimCD related to your stuff (/opt/SlimCD and /opt/slimserver), but I also see a bunch of stuff in /usr/local/bin AND /usr/bin. I am looking to go in the direction of a LiveCD that acts as an install CD for DSL/X-DSL and SlimServer in a package that will format a drive, install the OS and slimserver with all the goodies needed (including Samba, etc.). Any guidance you can offer on this thread or PM would be appreciated.
