This has been tested and it does not work!!

If you read the NimbleX posts you would know that I shipped my webdt to Bogden, the developer for the NimbleX project. I did order another however its not going to get to me until Weds of this coming week. Anyway on top of that the Gigabyte motherboard that was in my HTPC Mythbuntu box went out so I am out for a while as a tester for this for this. Check it out....
I went to susestudio.com and used a neat template called the jeOS or "Just Enough Operating System". On to the "base" I added a MythTV front end and when I did it just sat for a minute and then it added 110 MB of dependencies. Including minimal graphical. Added wireless-tools and dhcp and dhcp-cd, xvkbd, that added xsaw3d which is a suse screen calibration tool. I just want to say that again. Xsaw3d is a suse screen calibration tool.
This part I am still rubbing my eyes on but I went to penmount and got the suse 11.1 updated driver and the build service allowed me to upload it and include it in the build. The first time I built an image here It made in like two minutes. This one took fifteen. I can only hope that it built the driver automatically but I doubt it.
Fingers crossed on this but Suse is Novell. They do pay Microsoft a lot of money and although I wont say how I feel about that they may have enough say in the industry to have a fully functioning driver. Possibly they used these at one point and had to make it work and put in their tree. Who knows, again, fingers crossed.
The details of this image I built are that its a 156mb tar.gz file that opens to a 408mb .raw file. From there Suse claims that it will install to 530mb. Last I partitioned ext3 I saw 534mb of space.
Mythfrontend is there, mythbrowser, mythkeybindings, and one other. I took screenshots all the way. Incuding one of the expanded directory tree of the penmount driver package in the / directory. I said xvkbd right?

This guy is set up to autologin on boot and autorun mythtvfrontend. I have only used mythtv for about three days so I have absolutely no clue what I am doing. Anyone can use that build service. Suse has linked to outside repositories to keep pace with Ubuntu. Added the pacman repo and I know the mplayer that's in the frontend will be the good version.

This should auto logon to the unencrypted network and act as a thin client to a mythtv backend. I did not have room to put a config client, or at least find one small enough in reasonable time. Nor was there room for wireless encryption libraries. I may be able to do away with some of the myth stuff but I do not know. Dont know if this will even work.
Anyone want to try? I would appreciate all feedback and especially if you have problems with the link!
