| Hello, I recently purchased an i-opener v4 at a rummage sale and my goal is to mount it in my car for mp3's, gps, videos etc. This is the ideal setup im going for in the end: I want to install a version of unix or possible beos onto the sandisk and mount have it mounted read-only. i then want to put in a separate hard drive to mount to my /var and /usr/local(Mounted read-only) partitions. my goal is to be able to use the sandisk for fast booting and Xwindows loading, while mounting as many partitions read-only as possible to avoid having to shutdown the system everytime i turn off my car. i downloaded jailbait and imaged a small hard drive i had laying around to start expermenting on it in my computer before i use it on the iopener. the imaging went fine and i can mount the drive jailbaits on, but it cant boot for some reason. when i look at the partitions on the drive in fdisk i see a bunch of logical drives, which i assume are the ramdisks (cramfs?) that the jailbait website talked about...but what im wondering is, what exactly is the purpose of those ramdisks and will i need them if im going to also have a hard drive in my i-opener? if i choose to use jailbait i want to be able to customize it to my liking before i write it to the sandisk. so if anyone can give me alittle more info on these areas of jailbait id appreciate it.
another that has occured to me that ive been curious about is QNX. the i-opener comes stock with a nice os already installed on the sandisk, has anyone had any luck customizing and using either the installed version or a newer version of QNX?
well this seems like a good start to explaining what im trying to do...hopefully we can get a discussion going here and i can ask some of the other things i probably forgot to in this post.
thanx
