Hi Lex, Okay for the login.
Thanks for ``ramdiskrescue.'' I did not know it at all, despite of all the webpages I read! I wanted to say ``I *would* appreciate any suggestion.'' Thanks for everything.

Other stuff is only constituted by scripts. It makes me wonder how the 'boot progress screen' (bootsplash?) is implemented - the Angstrom logo appears and a meter counts down the time until the end of the boot sequence. Looking at the existing X liveramdisk might be of use. A while ago on this list, there was a similar live RAM disk environment that booted into a useful utility 'kit'. I'm racking my brains, trying to remember what it was called - 'Ramdisk Rescue', that was it. http://www.handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/RamdiskRescue Some of the techniques that the author (Marcus Brown) uses could be useful. > When booting with your .exe, I am asked for a LOGIN and a PASSWORD.

Pretty good going for only a few weeks - I was scared silly of Angstrom when I first saw it - nothing made any sense at all, and it took me quite some time before I was able to boot it. This was due to 'user error' on my part, when setting up HaRET - same old thing! > I had also written an article about Handhelds and Linux.
