Hi Martin,
I have two 600es that have been working beautifully up to 3.8.4,I am struggling with 4.0 but hopefully I will get it sorted.
here are the settings I have used for a frugal hdd install with persistent home and opt.
1.Press F1 as the machine boots up,this will take you into the bios, select config. then Quick Boot and select Disable, select OK then Exit,then Restart.
2.Boot TC again, go into control panel,select vesa and select 15 for the display enter,select 5 for the mouse (trackpoint) enter
3.using your favourite editor edit either the 4th line of /mnt/hda1/boot/grub/menu.lst to look like this :
kernel /boot/bzImage quiet tinycore
vga=791 host=xxx tce=hda1 opt=hda1 blacklist=snd_cs46xx
IMPORTANT should all be on one line
or if you use Multicore the extlinux.conf file in extlinux
4.Download alsa.tcz, xmms .tcz, depmod to play MP3s/sound
fluff.tcx wireless tools.tcz, wpa supplicant.tcz,wifi.tcz getFlash10.tcz chromium .tcz,( I use a Linksys wireless pcmcia card)
5.Having rebooted after editing menu.lst or extlinux.conf do the following:
type alsamixer at the command line, you should get a graphical display, if you repeatedly press up arrow the Master bar on the left will go up to 100 if there is mm at the bottom it is muted,press m to unmute,do the same with PCM hit escape.
type sudo su then enter to use root,type alsactl store this will create a file in etc called asound.state which holds the alsamixer settings.
6,Time to edit a couple of files. (Note the leading.)
A. opt/.filetool.lst: add the following line
etc/asound.state ( saves settings in asound.state )
B , opt/bootlocal.sh: add the following lines
/bin/sleep 5 ( time delay I think)
alsactl restore ( restores the sound settings in the file etc/asound.state)
(When using persistent home and opt you can remove any mention of /opt except for opt/.filetool.lst and opt/.xfile.lst
from /opt/.filetool.lst and also any mention of home in the same file.)
7.start xmms click on the D ofOAIDU it will double the size of the display,click on squiggle top left of xmms,then options,preferences,click on Output plugin, select alsa 1.2.11,click on configure,Click on right hand box of Audio device and select CS4239(hw:0,0), click on use software volume control.mixer card should say CS4239 Mixer PCM,click OK,click apply on next panel and then OK.
Reboot,Mount the drive that your MP3s are on
start XMMS, click on the right hand end blue button, type /mnt, double click select mnt/ and you should see your MP3 folder, select song and hit play,if there is no sound but the graphic equalizer is moving about ,either hit Fn and page up to increase volume or check alsamixer again, unmute and increase vol to 100,press escape then run alsactl store again.
Oh nearly forgot run the browser set up home page etc and then run getflash 10 youtube is pretty poor on these machines but they are 10yrs old
Good luck, oldgit (any probs just ask)
Hope it works for you
