Yes , its booted up right now off a knoppix intall in text mode. The other BIOS was showing 128MB ram now it only sees 64MB. Is this normal ?
I think now I'll get 2 128MB ram modules and a 40 to 44 pin hd adapter so I can use a laptop hard drive.
I think this might be the needed power cable.

HI!

I tried several CF cards. It dont works with Adata, Hitachi and Canon CFs, but it works with a E-memory CF.

With the A-data CF, it can only boot one time.

I wanna to try Xmms, but is dont works! It can't acces the sound card.
How can I define a DNS server's address on it?

it depends on the CF-card.
I have had the same trouble with a card.
As workaround i formatted the CF-card in my camera ( i didn't find a way to to that under linux).
After that i use cfdisk to make a linux partition and mke2fs for a linux filesystem.

It can't acces the sound card.

go to xmms -> option ->preferences ->audio io/plugins -> output plugin ->
configure -> klick on "use alternative device" and change "dev/dsp or whatever " to /dev/sound/audio",
to save it make "cp -a .xmms hda"

You can define the Network settings in the Firmware .
Press ESC while the firmware is booting.
The Thin Client will then show you the
