Subject: [Leaf-user] solution to modules not loading from CD


 A friend brought his brand new DCD router over to trouble shoot.  He
 bought one of those Flex board + 700 MHz + 256 M RAM + tiny 6 x 6
 case.  (I can't afford the price tag - but it is pretty).

sounds like one of these guys

$250 retail..just add SDRAM, CPU, HDD, and DVD/CDRW and you lave your
ulitmate portable PC ;-)

That is exactly what he bought.  It too noisy for me - the fans scream.
I also would prefer a better internal nic -  8139 based and of course it
has only one PCI slot. But at 700 MHz, it should be able to handle his home
based PPPoE connection.  Talk about overkill.

Massive overkill alright...
Im deploying these things running a CDRW with GPL WebCDwriter (
http://wwwhomes.uni-bielefeld.de/jhaeger/webCDwriter/ ) as a cheap networked
department CDR machine...
Keeps users from requesting CDRW drives on their machines that they only use
once or twice a month and keeps the cost buying CDR media down because you
would buy in bulk rather than oneses and twoses
