Re: WebDT with some neat WinCE apps

Seriously seeing that full screen video inspired me to build a front end to mythtv. Dont know if it works but I just posted it. Thank you for sharing th...

Re: Attn. Everyone who reads this, we need Ubuntu help! Add to the bug in launchpad

Made contact with an ubuntu developer. They have made a request that will help figure out why Ubuntu breaks graphics on boot. If someone has the opportunity please try start install or even boot up. When it fails reboot in live cd mode to a linux that you know to works on the DT. Once there look in ...

XP Embedded

Reports are that XP Embedded will work on a WebDT366. Question is does anyone have such a configuration working? Unconfirmed reports indicate that you need to use a windows deployment build service to make an embedded client.

Can anyone offer more insight?

places where you can build your own linux

Two places that I know of so far are: http://custom.nimblex.net and http://susestudio.com/ Suse Studio is in alpha stages right now. Its quite comprehensive allowing you to chose from text only, minimal x server, and two other base templates to build upon. From there add the packages you want from c...

Re: Nimblex sub 100 distro

Hey Fleegman, Very very interesting. We are taking two different approaches. I think that may explain why we are seeing different results. Thank you for posting! For all of my tests I used an usb external cd rom drive with the iso file burned to the disc. Ditto with usb hub, keyboard and mouse. Iron...

Re: Nimblex sub 100 distro

Status, Efforts have not stopped on Nimblex and getting the touch screen working. It may not be as involved as anticipated however it is going to take a little time. In the mean time I made a discovery about NimbleX that anyone should know. It is a live distribution however Nimblex allows you to sav...
