I'm running Freevo off of a CF card and so far I like it. I don't have a tuner, so I just use it for video playback and photos. Having it be completely slient is great.
I'm mounting both the data and parts of the system via NFS. A better approach is to use a ram disk. You want to minimize writes the CF card, so either use a ram disk or write logs, temp files, freevo cache, etc... somewhere else. I'm running Gentoo on a 512MB card. It's mounting portage so I can still add software if I need to. One tip, to reduce the long boot time when booting from a CF card, boot with the kernel option ide=nodma. -Chris On 11/16/06, Ignacio - <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi to everybody!
