Lol iI don't know what's going on with this crazy list, but mails are comming to me and overlapping each other... :) Never mind. Anyway its funny you should mention software suspend, as this seems like an ideal solution for freevo/freevix. Pretty much with this facility enabled you can switch your HTPC system on and off just like any other professional quality consumer electronics product. It will be a cool thing indeed! :)

BTW, you will be able to shutdown yourmachine when freevo is playing music and then restart it and it willcontinues to play! That's what do you want, right?It will be something like Palmtops, you will have the option for a softreset and a hard reset: The soft is the explained above, the hard isthe normal reset... you will need to wait linux and freevo to start...There is software suspend in 2.4, but it's experimental and you needpatches and some effort to have it working, but if you really wantthat... feel free to submit a script to automate things :) About the Graphical boot, take a look on Gentoo Games CD, it shows apicture while booting, if you want the text, just go ALT-F2 :)Gustavo --- Q <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> escreveu: > Thanks guys, Iwill look at Freevix. However I was hoping that someof thefolks here might be able to suggest an intergrated solution? As itstands Ihave encounterd a number of 'bolt on' solutions (that is a OS wichhasFreevo bolted on top of it). I have yet to see a solution whereFreevo (orsimilar) is actually desgined and physically intergrated with the OStobehave as a windows manager in its own right. That is what I wouldlike tosee. I know it doesn't exist, but all the same... I thought it wasworthbrining the subject up.Why not release a Freevixo version where you guys actually worktogether tobring about this so far seemily unatainable goal? A trullyintergrated HTPCsolution seems like a highly logical step.(Admittedly some people might still want to use a bolt on solution,buthopefully it isn't inconcieveable that both camps could be cateredfor).Personally, if I build a HTPC, that is all I want it to be - a HTPCandnothing else. (The ability to store additional programs on a harddiskratherthan just on the flash device itself would still nonetheless be averyuseful functionality).Q----- Original Message ----- From: "Rob Shortt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>Sent: Thursday, July 24, 2003 3:14 PMSubject: Re: [Freevo-users] Freevo as a persistant OSThe Freevo binary .tar.gz releases contain ~95% of thedependencies, therest being your distrobution and maybe X if you need it for tv-out. Youshould be able to install any linux distribution you want withminimalpackages and have it work just fine. If you build your own runtime(ie:dynamicly linked instead of static binaries) that will save yousomedisk space if you need.I think Freevix does use a smaller C library which its apps arebuiltupon so that may save you some room if you take that route.-RobQ wrote:Can you possibly release a version Freevo specifically designedandbuilt for use with damn small Linux?http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/ I am desperate to see a HTPCsystem thatwill fit on a small Linux distro that can be installed on a128MB/256MB/512MB/1Gig USB 2.0 key or another flash device andact as adedicated HTPC system. Really I dont need a desktop as such(althoughhaving the option of basic X functionality with acceleration forgamingwould be nice). I'm trying to build a dedicated HTPC system,which meansI don't really want/need a huge Linux distro to do it. All I wantis anicegraphical boot, and as soon as the OS has booted (which shouldtake zerotime for a USB 2.0 key or other flash device) I want to be ableto bootdirectly into Freevo, with no intervention from me and noindication oftheunderlying OS. (No scrolling text, or confusing commands to enteretc).All I want is to use an IR remote again perhaps via a USB IR hubtocontrol everything. In other words, no need for a keyboard unlesssomething breaks).Damn small Linux seems like an ideal base for something likethat.I am not totally hung on the idea of installing a FreevoOS/distribution on a flash memory card/usb device either. What Iamaiming for, what I would love to see is a persistant OS that moreorless worked like my DVD player. After all, it takes virtually notime toboot a dvd player. I only wish to see the same happen with myFreevoHTPC system.Please advise.
