I thought some people might wanna know that it is possible to run EJ diskless using network booted Windows 98SE. I used the following parts: Tyan Flex ATX S2425 motherboard 512Mb Ram 15" Iiyama Flatpanel Touchscreen Unlocked Intel P3-S cpu @800mhz, 1.05V Passive Heatsink Terratec Sky 5.1 soundcard Travla C137 case (Hasnt arrived yet) This system has no drives, no fans and even the PSU is fanless so the system runs utterly silent. Heres a run down of how it works: 1) The Intel PXE bootrom on the motherboard connects to the server and downloads a floppy disk image into ram. 2) The Floppy image boots dos which loads network drivers and logs on to the server. 3) A 400Mb ramdrive is started and a compressed image of Windows 98SE including EJ and its database is copied from the server into the ramdrive. 4) The dos networking software is then unloaded and Scandisk mounts the compresed drive. 5) Windows is booted from the Ramdrive. All music files are stored on the server, EJ simply references a mapped network drive (All EJ program files and the database are however stored in the ramdrive to improve performance). For info on how to make the boot disk and create the compressed drive image consult this page: http://www.nelliott.demon.co.uk/distributed/windows_diskless/index.html You will need a reasonable knowledge of Windows and networking to achieve a diskless jukebox but it is pretty much an ideal solution. If you have any questions please ask. As soon as my case arrives I will post piccies.
