It's not odd...it's the reason some use the JVC DVD remote
codes.dedicated FF/REW/PAUSE buttons for starters. It's a pain
for the average joe to dick around at this level. Especially
Can you be more specific about what's terrible about the remote?
This is just my opinion...take from it what you will...
I don't like the multifunction buttons. I would rather see dedicated
FF/REW/PAUSE buttons. A few other quick access buttons would be nice as
well, such as ALBUMS,
For one, this whole setup is NOT for the average joe (six-pack, to use
your examples). But like I've said, everyone has their opinions.
I've not had a problem with intuitiveness.
Striving to make something average-joe friendly should ALWAYS be the goal,
but I understand what you're saying.

If your target user is someone who doesn't want to learn how to make the
system work, you're going to make changes in pursuit of an impossible
goal. Those changes will make things harder for the core audience.
Udedicated pause, fast forward, and rewind buttons will make things
harder

snip on the average thing - seems we understand each other
Well...what can I say to that...people have accidentally held
down the skip track button to have it fast forward, and they
would wonnder why the song sounds funny as it clicks, and
pops

So true! But, when she gets her picture in a magazine 8-)
I've got a Logitech Harmony 880 remote which is quite nice/flexible,
That IS a nice remote.

I appear to be able to mount it.
And you have to mount it manually, this is not done automatically.
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1
should do the job.
Can anyone suggest what I might be doing wrong?
Hey, you're giving the answer yourself:
On thing, I'm not too sure of the syntax to reference drives using
Unix. I have tried many variations to get Slimserver to index my

Nope, this is

Would a PDA have as slow an interface as the web slimserver, or be as
fast as the remote?
Most use the web interface on their PDA - which is obviously as fast as
slimserver's web interface is for you. There's a commercial product called
telcanto which is said to be _very_ responsive on

My server is a P4 with 640MB, with a 40GB OS drive and two 200GB music

The difference may be OS. I run slimserver on FreeBSD, and I believe

Yes, I do.
