I have been running Windows 98 on my webplayer for a while, and decided to change to something more stable. I installed FreeBSD 4.10 on a 4GB microdrive (out of a Creative Muvo 2) using a CF to IDE adapter. I have been using Firefox, and although slow, it is much more stable.

If you have interest in doing this, you may save some time by looking at the config files I created:

Upgraded to FreeBSD 4.11. The newer version of XFree86 has a driver for the display that acutally works at 800x600 16bpp with accel. and is much faster. I also configured the kernel for 16 bit sound. I updated XF86Config and XTABLE in the above linked collection to contain these mods.
