Still the best recommendation is to use a dedicated machine for vdr and to build/compile the whole stuff on a second machine. Then you don't need all the overhead. My vdr-system has the whole vdr/glibc/bin/modules-things in a initrd ram disc which is loaded by the bios together with the kernel. Boot time (after bios-checks) is < 10 seconds to see a picture and about 20 seconds until the system is ready to replay/record on a Duron 1300 board. Alfred
