Can you port a broswer(firefox or other) to work with hack firmware (not debian) with a virtual keyboard like iphone?

Hi,
nice work! but I’m not be able to make it working …
USB pen FAT32 on USB1 with root.bin in the root directory.
Wdtvlive works as original (menu and media center functionalities) but I can’t enter in ssh or telnet.
I need to flash your wdtvlive firmware before trying with debianlive firmware?

Thanks a lot

Davide

Hey B-rad, really great work

One Question: Is it possible to add kernel sources or kernel headers to build extra modules?

Well.. everybody seems to be asking for something. If Western Digital’ programmers team can’t keep up with all the issues of WDTVLIVE, how can you expect from a single one (an outsider) to do it all ?
Great work, B-RAD, I admire you dedication.

How to run XBMC on debian

Very Interesting stuff indeed, I am by no means a linux guru, although I do do some development as a hobby, Im not sure if any of you are familiar with XBMC (http://xbmc.org/download/) but it is by far the best Media Player Software I have ever used, and they have a bootable live linux version… Do you think there is a way to boot this from a pen drive, its only 500mb, and then then through in a hub? That would be awesome.

let me know your thoughts, cheers
