Not sure that's the problem. I abandoned v2.99, and tried v2.0. It
installs perfectly.
It looks rather like v2.99 hasn't been tested on a box this chee

No. However, you can use CentOS. As long as you have more than 196M,
it will install fine.

No I can't.
The CentOS developers convinced me many years ago that they are not the
sort of people I want to deal with. The trust relationship necessary with
a distribution supplier is badly broken.
And I'll day no more about that. My reasoning is archived in

hello all,
I'm (trying) to find the 'best' compression software/algorithm about.
Best as-in best compression ratio most, cpu time and memory footprint are not a
problem.
I'm already well aware of 7zip, bzip2, rzip and ofcourse gzip, but looking on
google is not putting me beyond those.

Thats a good, but obvious question, unfortunately the
answer is somewhat naive.

There is no such compressor.
It is impossible to generate an algorithm that will compress any input; if
any input stream leads to

Doesn't have to be data storage -- it could be low-bandwidth comms,
for example.

Hi Jim,

Mark,
The problems with 1080i & 1080p that the current eeeBox (B202) has are
well known.
If you google for B204 or B206 you will see the announcements for the
new models. These should have enough grunt to deal with 1080p (well I
hope so...)
