[Freevo-users] Help with Diskless Client Setup ?
Version 1.5.1 I'm running freevo on multiple diskless clients, using LTSP (Linux Terminal Server Project). It works fine, except for two issues which I don't know how to resolve. Freevo appears to save all the various settings in /tmp/freevo. For example, I want a particular skin to be saved per node, however, the settings are not saved. Each time I restart freevo, the default skin returns, and all the caching is lost. In this LTSP environment, the /tmp directory is a RAM mount directory, it's not a disk. How do I repoint /tmp/freevo to use another location, for example, using $HOME. I am also have trouble with MAME. I believe this used to work in earlier releases. When I launch any of the MAME games, Freevo appears to lose the reference to the $HOME environment variable. I know that for freevo the $HOME is what I want it to be (I added some debug messages in the code), however, when the MAME game is run, the MAME game cannot find $HOME/.xmame. I make this claim because the game doesn't operate with the proper keyboard configuration settings, as defined in $HOME/.xmame/cfg. Can anyone help me out here?

Re: [Freevo-users] Help with Diskless Client Setup ?
Have you updated your mame? Recent MAME versions don't supported the old list info tag the games section uses. There is code in current 1.5 branch of cvs for freevo that fixes this. It will be in release 1.5.3 whenever that happens. -- Michael Ruelle [EMAIL PROTECTED] Version 1.5.1 I'm running freevo on multiple diskless clients, using LTSP (Linux Terminal Server Project).
