&gt; You could read the archives from a week or 2 ago under the heading:<br>
&gt; Build your own &quot;appliance&quot;<br>
&nbsp;<br>
Yap... read it, thanks<br>
<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; I use these deices, but I unload them entirely into RAM.<br>
&nbsp;<br>
Fine.. I though about that too but what about:<br>
&nbsp;<br>
- if power fails?<br>
- how/when to write changes to DOM?<br>
<br>
<br>
&gt; If you're sticking a &quot;normal&quot; disctibution on it, I'd suggest
dumping the <br>
&gt; DOM and getting a laptop type IDE/SATA drive and using that instead. It's <br>
&gt; not silent, but will be very quiet.<br>
&nbsp;<br>
Yeah, the trouble is that device we bough do not have space for HDs.. :)<br>
