first things first, have you completely stripped-down the kernel to only have the stuff you absolutely need?
also, i don't remember how 'experimental' it is to date, but the linux kernel has some kind of hardware suspend feature (where the running kernel dumps it's state/memory to a swapfile) that you might be able to use. of course not only do i not remember how to use it, i don't remember how well it works either, or how to enable it in the kernel compile ;) sean On Tue, Dec 10, 2002 at 12:59:12AM -0700, Jason Majors wrote: > I've started a project http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/oggcastd/ to play > Ogg Vorbis and MP3 files in my car.
