Well, you don't need an IDE flash:) It is just that to make it all run, you only need 1 GByte of space. I find my HD install is working well, and it was not too hard to do. I would certainly not discourage you from trying it. I got mine running with AAC, AACPlus, ALAC, etc. I hope that Michael will release 1.87 with this functionality built-in. After installing SlimCD 1.86, I downloaded the latest no-cpan-arch.tar.gz file, and installed that over SlimCD. -Ron -- Ron F. *Squeezebox setup:* wireless SB3 -> CI Audio VDA.2 DAC + VAC.1 PSU *Main rig:* NAD 7600 + NAD 2600A -> Phase Tech PC-6.5 speakers *Headphone rig:* Headroom Max -> Sennheiser 650s *Music Server:* Nano-ITX computer running SlimCD + 750 GByte HDD -> Netgear wireless router *Other stuff:* NAD C542 CDP, NAD 6300 Tape, Monster 5100 Power conditioner, Outlaw Audio cables ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ron F.'s Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5616 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36385 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
