I can't say I remember now how much it reduced, but I remember it being around 65 MB when I was done with an ISO and the KNOPPIX file was finished about 33% faster compressing than with Java. mherger Wrote: > > > > Any guidance you can offer on this thread or PM would be > appreciated. > > I'll give some more details about my build scripts when I'm back home. > > -- > > Michael --------------------------------- Michael, Your help is much appreciated. The reason I focused on the Xbox was the cost to get one (ZERO in my case) since a friend gave me a dead one to 'fix'. Second, the cost of electricity in Toronto has skyrocketed and the Xbox consumes less than 60W in constant operation (based on average power draw), so that's less than 1/4 of what a PC would consume at provides good performance compared to the Network Attached storage slugs (733 MHz Celeron compared to a 266 MHz Intel xScale processor in most cases) Third, it was educational to do the conversion to a Linux PC, allowing replacement of the hard drive and DVD-ROM to something better/bigger Last, the box is quiet compared to a PC (like laptop quiet), so you can place it anywhere, and still connect a television and USB peripherals (with a home made adapter) such as a keyboard and mouse. But since SSH is part of DSL/X-DSL, I can log in remotely and do system management, have no television and only use the Xbox controller. I look forward to hearing from you when you are back.
