Yes that is what microcore does. It is sort of split into two - the basis microcore system which is always untouched, and a special directory (TCE-direcory) where all the customization, scripts extra programs like ALSA, WiFi etc is saved. Saving to this directory is only done when you really want to save it like during making of the player, or during configuration of your player either using a script or possibly through a web-page like you have developed for the wandboard. In ordinary use you don't save anything to the sd-card and and everything is running in RAM. So even if you pull the power cord no damage to your software is happening. My experience with the microcore linux has been positive, and I think that it might be a good candidate for an embedded OS for this community Player. I will be happy to help, with the knowledge I have gathered during the work with the piCorePlayer, but I'm in no way an experienced linux user. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ sbp's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37237 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97881 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
