You have chosen... wisely. :D

That works great if you have a copy of the 'full version' CD instead of the 'upgrade version.' If you only have the upgrade CD, you need to already have a full version of an 'approved' flavor of Windows installed on the target machine or have a copy of the install CD for a full version of an...

:D I had the exact opposite problem installing 7.10 the first couple times. The livecd was slow and would crash about halfway through the install, but I managed a text-based install just fine. @pumpkin -- TaG's advice is solid. If it doesn't work for you, we can probably still help with your...

QUOTE If it isn't broke, why fix it? Win2k is still supported by MS, and works as a server quite well. +1 If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I agree that you should probably be examining linux as an option if Win2k doesn't do what you need it to. It's stable and free, and has done a pretty...

+1 A little more info here. One other thing to remember is that you can have multiple backends/frontends interspersed among multiple machines - your frontend doesn't need to just be a dedicated frontend, it can also function as a backend and vice versa. Oh, and you don't need a graphical...

Yeah. Did that before I edited my post. :D @SteveM -- I think where I may have gone wrong was I downloaded the Beagleboard (armv7a) demo image. I extracted the kernel and initrd files, but they wouldn't boot. In retrospect, this was incredibly stupid of me, since I already knew I...

What, like this? It's open source, so I don't see why it couldn't work. B)

13. Yeah.. I was hoping to get a Beagle Board to while away the weeks until the Pandoras ship. I fully agree that it's a better solution (and probably a better value for the money, to boot). Unfortunately, the BB mailing lists indicate there won't be any more available until December/January...

Haven't used knoppmyth, but I'm a heavy mythbuntu user (2 backends, multiple frontends around the house). Once you get it configured, it's great. Mythtv's made a lot of progress in the last few years. A couple tips with the setup: lirc. lirc can be a bugger to get setup correctly if your...

I don't see it as a weakness for the reasons jdh stated. The power and heat savings alone are invaluable. QUOTE Imagine that Texas Instruments had made a similar mobile chip (in terms of power) but in x86 format. Of course, we'd see Wine working straight away, which would already open up the...

I've been trying for a while now to get a sandbox set up in which to test code, cross-compile (or natively compile directly on the solution), and generally do a lot of the grunt work getting ready for my pre-ordered Pandora to arrive. I realized fairly early on that qemu won't work for this...

At one point almost all the threads in the main information index were stickied, and it was deemed too much sticky info for a new visitor or member to sort through (that many stickies is kinda off-putting). So one sticky was created, to rule them all, so to speak. At any rate, this thread is...

New Blog update -- that's one sexy stack of silicon! Edit: Whoops. bennyboy beat me to it. I've got to get quicker about typing up these posts!

I'm hoping for an icosohedron. Because having the baddest-ass handheld in town is great and all, but packing it in a giant 20-sided die will absolutely cement my place in the pantheon of Geek gods. Among... these guys. Yeah! ps. Magic Missile! Lightning Bolt!!

I don't have a data-only plan, I've been pretty happy with my data-and-voice plan on AT&T since they bought Cingular. Then again, in my area, they seem to have the best data network. I've spoken to others in larger metro areas who say AT&T sucks, and I'd have to agree with them based on my...

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: That is at once the most ghetto and most awesome thing I've seen this week!

My name is Sterling, but it's pronounced Throatwobbler Mangrove. I live in Austin, TX (US), althought I'm not from here, and I've been a systems administrator here for the last decade or so. If there's anyone else on this forum who lives in the area, feel free to hit me up. We'll go grab a...

I'd be willing and able to work on a port of MythTV for the Pandora (getting it running, evaluating whether it's ok as-is or whether we should scrap the original and use gmyth to write a smaller, more agile front-end client), since the ports I've seen so far haven't really been up to snuff (the...

I'd be willing to bet the broadcasting device contains multiple BT antennae. If anyone's really that interested in this stuff, the specification is, IMO, a much better place to research this sort of thing than an internet forum.
