well now I remember why I got this idea in me to build a bootable CD (like LOAF or QNX or PicoBSD but for CD media or CF), it was a review on TechTV (please don't laugh at me, I watch for stocks only,the rest is trivial) about the NIC (Network something or rather, I forget) its got a 200mhz NS Geode (I think) and ram is upgradeable, comes with NIC and modem and usb and vga and maybe TV-out, has a cd-rom drive and reads CDrom for OS and hardware updates, it lock the cd drive during operation and boots right up, so my question is where is there swap and other stuff necessary for a succesful opensource OS internet appliance? It comes with a custom Linux distro (might be based on Redhat, not sure) I am gonna hunt down some NIC hacking sites and try to find info about building a bootable CD OS setup, and post back here, in the meantime if you (lurker,smirker,poster,hoster, midnight toker) have anything to add then please do so I am gonna head over back to FRY'S (not so bad in the south so far(Arlington and Dallas Texas) nothing but good parts and bad waiting lines) and get a little ATA flash card for high speed swap file disk (PC and wearable) cheers all, chow, adios muchachos -- Subscription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with subject of "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" toWear-Hard Mailing List Archive (searchable): http://wearables.blu.org please, Please, *PLEASE* don't subscribe through a forward/false domain
