Yeah thats the issue I got the idea from, but I unfortunately threw it out. Thanks. Your a life saver.

Here's one thing I was wondering about:
Would the computer just run off of the car battery all the time so that even if you turned the car off it would keep running.

How would you gracefully shutdown the system when you leave the car? It would have to be pretty easy to forget about it until you come back to a very dead car :-P

You have to make a display thinging that lets you do all sorts of cool stuff.

Asymblor, Can you send me those scans please? I sent you an email with my email address but you havent responded. Have you found the magazine yet? Thanks

My plan is going to be to put my laptop in the boot of the car and have it directly linked to the I.C.E with a display running off the serial port and a numeric keypad from the PS/2 controlling MP123. Easy or what?

NE1 else have the maximumlinux aricle?
