I'm new to linux, i have loved the look of it for years. I have been looking for a version of linux that can be used for installing windows on to machines, but also that could run from PXE as a client. and i think i have found it. :)
Could anyone tell me if;
1- there is sound support, for music, video's, etc...
2- can a flash player be included
3- how can i set the default web page. (i have a home web server)
4- is there planned support for thin clients
thanks Michael
1- there is sound support, for music, video's, etc... - yes
2- can a flash player be included - yes see here (http://forum.plop.at/index.php/topic,1205.msg4291.html#msg4291)
3- how can i set the default web page. (i have a home web server) - you set it in the browser, save the config file and restore it with rc.local
4- is there planned support for thin clients - should already work
best regards

add the command "pciprobe" to the rc.local file

rename opt.sqfs to test.sqfs and try to mount it when plop linux is running. does it hang too?

Hi Elmar,
Well i added pciprobe to the rc.local, and now i have a volume control.
But still no sound?
BTW- What is the name of the file i need to copy (and its location) after
changing the home page in mozilla firefox? And also what do i need
to add to rc.local so it will copy it on startup.
Thanks for your help Michael

maybe the card muted. use "alsamixer" and unmute with the key "m"

compress the .mozilla directory and store it somewhere. during booting, uncompress the file to restore the settings.
