Yah, I (accidentally) got into the SqueezeNetwork menu on one of my sb2's, and HAD to go through a bunch of crap with upgrading the sb2 firmware (and waiting and waiting, it took a good five minutes before the sb2 started responding to the remote). Got out of it as soon as I could (and had to downgrade the firmware, at least that didn't take so long, but it did make me step through ALL of the wireless network config [wpa, etc...] I found it quite annoying. > What's NOT: > Slimserver 6.2/6.2.1(nightly) are unusable as they are - at > least for me (Win XP SP1). 6.2.1 didn't install the service > (didn't check why). 6.2.0 installs fine, the service starts > nicely but SB2 & the server can't find each other.

I started out with the downloadable .tar.gz files from slimdevices.com's website, but have since switched to the ports version. The ports version tracks the major releases in a timely fashion. The nice thing about the ports collection is you just do the usual 'make; make install', then add a line 'slimserver_enable="YES"' to your rc.conf, and you're done. Simpler than a windows install! :-P -- Maditude _______________________________________________ squeezenetwork mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/squeezenetwork
