Thanks that is what I ended up doing. I got the Bittorrent Client installs and also got openssh up and running.

great little box so far.

To get ssh access I had to change the following in the /opt/etc/openssh/sshd_config
PermitRootLogin yes
PermitEmptyPasswords yes

Then to start the server use
/opt/etc/init.d/S40sshd start

VERY unsecured I know, do we know if setting a root password affects the unit at all?

Thanks

HOWEVER, I haven't seen the following 2 obvious points addressed at all:

1) has anyone noticed that this chip uses the MIPS architecture? If so, is anyone working on porting XBMC to MIPS? I think the answer is "no", but if one of you tech types wants to try, you could check out what McGeagh has done with his ARM port

2) does this chip even have any 3D hardware at all? It seems like the answer is also "no". XBMC needs 3D acceleration for the GUI to work with ANY skin. Since it's Linux, that means it has to be OpenGL at this point AFAIK. The chip appears to be the Realtek "Venus" RTD1073

Don't mean to rain on anybody's parade, but no one is talking about either of these two things. Does anyone have any answers?

One good thing about the Realtek SoCs versus the Sigma Designs 863x and 865x is that the Realtek architecture seems to be much more open, so if it has 3D hardware, at least we can develop for that platform. The Sigma boxes (WD TV, WD Live, Popcorn Hour, Mvix, Tvix, Netgear EVA-9000/9150, D-link DSM, etc.) seem to be a lost cause.

Most of those packages are available for Asus O!Play as well.

I'm been working on getting this on my box diligently this weekend with much much success. The only problem I'm facing is, has any body been able to get custom scripts to run on boot up? Since I'm running most of optware application on a external drive, I tried editing the fstab to change the mounting of the partitions to rw instead of ro without success. I also tried editing the rcS file also. I ended up creating a script to remount all partitions and enable samba manually, which is a pain in the arse if I ever to reboot the unit.
