wow! thanks for that...really...i went and googled him to learn more about him.

i said "wow"....because i am always amazed at where and when i can learn something new.

based on learning more about Mr. Linus Torvalds, i believe that i WILL keep his message playing at boot as an homage to this creator.

however.....can someone tell me if this is (a.) something native to the n800? (b.)something that is built into the software that let me clone my OS to MMC? (c.) something that must have come aboard from another program?

even though i plan on keeping THIS message,can someone please tell me how to find other, future .wav or midi. files?

i went looking for it by using "file manager" and couldnt find ANY of the sounds attached to any program and would like to know it i have options for disabling sounds i dont like.

TIA - chrisvnh

The Linus Torvalds message is to let you know that fsck is done running. Also, this should only be running IF you boot to the flash partition. If you are booted to SD it should not be there as you cannot fsck filesystems that are mounted.

If this is running from SD and playing this something is not right. If it is on FLASH then you can disable it by running
pb > bootmenu > FSCK-OFF

Note this is only needed for ext2 partitions, if you are running ext3 you do not need this. If you are running ext2 then you should boot to flash after ANY crash and when Linus speaks, you know you are good to reboot back to SD partitions. Additionally you can see the output of the fsck by running "cat /tmp/fsck.txt"
