As an example, privoxy wouldn't work (can't edit init scripts to make auto start) nor would openssh, dropbear, or becomeroot. This packages all require root--for good reason. Debian systems always require root to run dpkg and apt. I think it would be unwise for this platform to customize those tools simply because it has flash memory instead of a hard disk. Call it an embedded platform, but it's a hand-held computer. --Paul -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
