Hum... we have other priorities than that by now.

Sure, that would be really cool, but we need many features to code,
many things to fix and that could be covered by others, not necessarily
a freevo developer... What about you joying the Freevix guy and try to
get what you want?! That's the beauty of Open Source, the community!

I've been reading about the Freevix approach - and apparently USB 2.0 is

Plenty fast, non volatile and you just use a standard IDE cable?   These

If you are looking for really fast boots, try www.linuxbios.org. It's mainly 
replacing your bios with a linux kernel, so it goes pretty fast and has a 
large coolness factor :) . It doesn't work on all motherboards, but mine is 
supportted (ecs k7sem) so if i ever have some time i'll try it.

directly into Freevo, with no intervention from me and no indication of the

I want is to use an IR remote again perhaps via a USB IR hub to control

Damn small Linux seems like an ideal base for something like that.
I am not totally hung on the idea of  installing a Freevo OS/distribution on
a flash memory card/usb device either. What I am aiming for, what I would
love to see is a persistant OS that more or less worked like my DVD player.
After all, it takes virtually no time to boot a dvd player. I only wish to
see the same happen with my Freevo HTPC system.
Please advise. What is your view on this?

you could try freevix - www.freevix.org

It meets _some_ of your criteria. It boots straight to freevo, is small, 
and supports Booting via USB/PXE/cf/HD however it does take a few 
minutes to boot and shows you the boot messages (although i presume 
there's a way to toggle this?)

This system definition includes booting everything from a 64MB Compact Flash
card, but it is very much married to the VIA Mini-ITX mainboard hardware
architecture.
