Again, amsn.tar.gz is in the repository ...

And it works whether you use a USB HD, Pendrive, HDInstall, or LiveCD..
even burn your own custom CD with all the apps on it that you want..
With Firefox and Python running as mountable files
( they use little memory until you RUN them )
You should STILL be able to run all you have
requested in ramspace even from liveCD...

Let us know about the mp3 player, as I'm not familiar with
that piece of gear..

Don't know what to say about the mp3 player... It's Creative's sollution to Apple dislikers. I prefer Oranges

In order to transfer files/mp3's to the device in Windows, you need to have a piece of Creative software installed. If anyone have heard about a program that can do this in Linux, I would be very grateful :=

I only know of the GTKpod and GNUpod extensions, for the
apple players.. Never had an opportunity to see if it would work
with other players...

Creative mp3 players are 0% compatible with linux.

which is why I have decided against one (as well as against an Ipod, even though we have gnupod and gtk-pod .dsl's) and am going after an iRiver H340 (www.iriver.com, cheaper on newegg.com)

mp3, asf, wma, ogg compatible, come formatted as fat32, and since M$ sees it as a mass storage device, its 100% compatible with linux, there is even a script that uses rsync to sync it with a folder (compatible with DSL!!!) that can be found here.

It can display .jpg or .bmp images, and with a few minutes worth of hacking, can play movies too.

Kick ass.

That one looked *really* cool. Too bad that it cost almost twice the money I pay for my Creative One. Oh well. My entire legal mp3 collection (I never download music) goes onto my Creative, and I will get a usb hard drive, so I don't really need the mp3 player to be supported in dsl.
