Hi, Simon. It's possible to run Rivendell on a laptop, but I've only been able to do it using Ubuntu and the Tryphon distributions. The Appliance CD runs CentOS and it doesn't recognize some of the hardware on two different laptops I have (one Dell, one a "Compal" whitebox). The big concern is that whatever Linux distro you're using can recognize your sound card and CD player. If you don't care about the current contents of your laptop or PC, I suggest you download the Appliance CD from the Paravel site and install Rivendell from there. (I've tried both the V1 and V2 CDs and neither one would allow me to install Rivendell alongside any other operating system. YMMV) If the Appliance CD doesn't work for you then you'll need to enter the interesting world of installing the Tryphon packages. _______________________________________________ Rivendell-dev mailing list Rivendell-dev@lists.rivendellaudio.org http://caspian.paravelsystems.com/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
