I downloaded and installed the pycar iso (the f version). I'm trying to configure my os on one of the systems in my home while I await the hardware I will be running on in my car.

The problem I am having is that I see it load the image then the screen goes blank. The cd acts like its still loading (lots of flashing and stuff from it). Is there a way to boot this on a regular system or is it made specificly for car monitors?

If you want to install it on a HDD here is the article on it:

From the Pycar web site:
I beleive the important part is the last word there. The ISO currently only runs on the EPIA-M boards. Now if you do have an EPIA M board and you still cant get a display, you've been bitten by the 1.16 BIOS upgrade, flash back to 1.14 and all will be okay.

BTW JB, are there any news on development or even revised roadmaps?

Doh. I'm an idiot. I guess I have to get my board before I actualy install it. I was hoping to get a jump on setting it up.

You could just download and install the tar file on a regular linux system. I got that working on a non-epia system.

Oh yeah. There are.
Here's in short:
1. iPod integration with many features it provides (playlists, meta db etc)
2. Car stereo integration
3. DVD playback

It is been in unit testing right now, I will release a version for beta testing in mid Sep. So, stay tuned
