Sam.Nazarko Wrote:@reddeath - it's weighing in at around ~780MB as a RAR - bare in mind it will be 4GB extracted

i think my server's going to get hit quite badly

sorry about the slow upload

Thanks for the hard work... I think this will be much appreciated from a lot of ATV user. For each user saying thanks, I'm guessing that there's 2-3 hiding that will benefit from this.

Sam, why not use torrent for this? Not all of us has access to newsgroups.

Davilla, what's difference from your solution that you were hinting a few days back?

Is the link up already? I don't see anywhere to download the file.

Sam.Nazarko · 2010-06-03 00:27

No the link isn't up yet.

Not a fan of torrents or UseNet.

is it easy to change audio output to toslink?

Sam.Nazarko · 2010-06-03 01:00

just change the device output in XBMC.

deadly. I have one linux installation on my main hard drive, but it will be handy to have such usb distro.

excellent job!

I can provide Amazon S3 hosting for a limited time and seedboxing for Torrents indefinitely, I can also upload to USENET if you don't want to.

PM me...

Sam.Nazarko · 2010-06-03 02:21

thanks Phil, check PM

edit: Sorry it'll be a while my connection dropped and my client started again. Upload is slow because I have 768kbit upload and I'm being traffic managed. I'm going to sleep, hoping this is done when I'm awake so I can put a link up for you Smile

I have an external drive connected to my aTV via USB, how will booting linux from a USB flash drive work in combination with an external drive?
should I be using a hub with both the flash drive and external drive and turn the external drive on when linux starts to boot?
I can mirror the disk image on my site once it's up.

Just to be clear - if this is copied to a usb and plugged in to the ATV will it just work?

I'm guessing not and the usb needs to be formatted with the the atv bootloader etc.
