RE: Project Bling
Hi Q,
How did the install of DSL go?
Are you using a HD or a CF card?
Do you copy your images to the laptop/picture frame or do you access
them from a share?
Ive got an old p2-300 portege 3110 that I've stripped back and is sat in
a picture frame - but I haven't got any further.
Regards
Jonathan

Also known as a digital pictureframe ;)
A few weeks ago, someone asked about this on the list, which prompted me
in
action again as I've been meaning to do one for a long time. Always
planned
to use Windows and write some screensaver software, but the links posted
pointed me towards Damn Small Linux (thanks, whoever it was!) which I
hadn't
even considered (or heared off). Turns out that the software was
already
available and runs pretty smooth on an old laptop (p2 233mmx, 96Mb ram).
So
as I no longer had an excuse to postpone it, I started to take apart the
laptop and transform it into a digital picture frame. The results can
be
seen here: http://tinyurl.com/by3yx
Hope it helps someone.
Q.
