I started with a bare-minimum Debian/e-tobi install (with debootstrap on an NFS share, which gives a really light bootable system), then installed whatever needed, but nothing fancy (ie. X with a tiny WM, but no login manager, ACPI, no dbus, etc...). Boot time is not spectacular, but OK. Next step, as others did, will be to suspend to RAM instead of shuting down, which means boot time will become irrelevant... Install size is 724MB, with full docs (à la Debian), stock kernel, modules and initrd, some VDR plugins, etc. (including 187MB of useless cached packages). That's work, but at least everything came in binary... -- NH _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
