I had some time in my lunch break to take a quick look at this, and I've started to put together some notes at my blog. The first one (about getting TinyCore running in QEMU) is here: http://jon.sprig.gs/blog/2011/06/28/experimenting-with-tiny-core-linux-on-qemu/ I'll start looking at getting TinyCore to boot automatically, and to make it work with the on the USB drive, so you could (in theory) just dump files onto the USB drive without needing to fire up QEMU until you want to do something interesting with it :) After that, I'll start looking at Horde and Gallery2 to see how easy they both are to get running on TinyCore. Aside from anything else, having it set up like this means I can just give a USB drive to my wife for her to do all the tagging she wants to do and then sync the database with my server. It might not be for a little while though - my main project at the moment is in the middle of a pretty major re-write, and I really need to knuckle down on that for a while, but this has triggered my interest :) All the best, -- Jon "The Nice Guy" Spriggs -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
