[-- Attachment #1 --] Stacy, glad to hear that you it is at least mildly useful. I should have my freevo hardware back in a week or so, and will then resume hacking on the port (1.5 is around the corner). Would you mind sending this information as an update to the PR log? The committer looking into the port (linimon@) had some issues installing it, but I have gotten reports from several people that installed if with no problems. (Mark: Maybe this is a -current vs. -stable issue?) Lars Stacy Millions wrote: > I took a shot at the freevo port to see if I could get it to work > my pvr350. This is on STABLE.
