Does the system run standard Linux, or is it a modified version? If it is standard, I would just need to replace it with a small, speech-enabled Linux distribution. That is easily done. By standard, I mean, is the kernel just any old X86 kernel? I'm sure they had to really prune the system, to make it fit on flash. Also, The Mini-Box information refers to the compact flash as "front loading". Does that mean "removable"? If so, I wonder if there is some adapter which would allow my home machine to read and write the removable media? > You can order power adapter from Ituner, buy motherboard from the > mailorder place or local store, and install all in your case for less > than $350 I believe. Yes, I like the idea of building my own. It would be cheaper certainly, but also customized. As I see it, the real advantage of buying a Mini-Box is convenience. _______________________________________________ Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
