User Feedback :: Damn Small 'miniPC'

Hi all,

Just received my mini-itx motherboard (M10000) yesterday and this morning (upto 3am ;) ) managed to get DSL to run! The bits are strewn all over my desk (maybe a photo later?).

The CD picked up the special CPU but had a little problem with the sound, hopefully finding the correct modules should fix this. Also, managed swap the cd drive for the HD out of my laptop and of course the autoconfig worked

As a suggestion, could a small audio test file (eg Linus' test speech) be placed in the distro so that soundchips/cards can be tested? As if your only running a CD then theres no sound to play in the first place :S

Again Kudos to John and the Gang for a great distro. I hope to use this 'miniPC' as my backup/webserver/quiet surfing machine.

So wish I had a camera now! I'm writing this message via the miniPC as a thin client!

Ive had a search through the linitx.org forum and found out that to get the sound to work on my M10000 motherboard I need the kernel 2.4.21 (whilst DSL is 2.4.20). Is there an easy way to update the kernel?

or do I just need to load some audio drivers?

Thanks very much John!

I now have a pic Librettos MiniPC (a bit grainy from a DVcam).

BTW, I have mentioned DSL in various places around my site. Please have a browse.

(NB: theres been a few problems with the server lately, so apologies if the links doesn't work)
