The web server that normally runs with LMS running on a PC or NAS is disabled on the Touch (via command-line option when it starts LMS) because the Touch's computing resources are too meager to run the web server without potentially compromising playback performance. If it's any help to you, it does run a Samba server (smbd) and I believe it also runs an SCP server.
On your latter questions, the Touch's Linux isn't a standard distro, so I don't think you'll find deb or RPM packages that will work. As for where to install things, I don't know offhand, but can advise that the Touch uses a union filesystem, so that firmware updates will clobber some parts of the filesystem but not touch other parts. Search the forums and you will find examples of people who have been able to install various Linux utilities on the Touch, such as NTP and busybox. That should point you in the right direction for anything you want to try installing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96556 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
