As toby10 says, most of those suggestions don't cost anything. Nor do they involve any programming. Also, you may consider this unacceptable tweaking, but have a look at this thread (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82070), which covers some of the same basics on getting the Touch's built-in server running reliably. I agree that the built-in server doesn't live up to the advertising on the box, but if you don't want a lot of headaches, developing an alternative distro for the Touch is _not_ the path of less resistance. Admittedly, it should work right out of the box and it shouldn't be so fussy about USB drives or scanning, but it is what it is. So your best options to me look like trying these simple steps and/or returning it.
And please do tell what (different) device has the features you cite and costs the same as an externally-powered USB drive or powered USB hub. I'm sure a lot of people would be interested to know. -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88973 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
