@Stephen

Thanks for the notice. I must have deleted the images when doing some house-cleaning on the server. They are back now.

I cannot see any of the images on this page. I have tried Firefox and IE. Do I have a problem or is it the page?

Hi Adam,
I came across your article via Google Search results. I have an old Digital HiNote VP laptop with Pentium 100 Mhz CPU on it and a total HDisk space of 1G on it and RAM of 32 MB on it.

Could you please help me point to any steps on turning this into a Digital Photo Frame?

I could follow yours but looks like you have a 2 G HDisk unlike mine, so am not sure how to proceed here. Also just to let you know-> the pictures at http://www.adamfranco.com/archives/category/computers-and-technology/hardware are not downloading and are showing X place holders in place of the images.

Thanks in advance,

I’m getting syntax errors on your picframe script.
Everytime I do /etc/init.d/picframe start its comes up with a syntax error that says the stop command does not exist.

Excellent write up. Are you able to turn the DPF on and off without hurting the filesystem? Are you able to turn it on and the script runs on boot up as well as with cron?

Hi Adam,

I couldn’t figure it out where to find your email, so here I am leaving you a quick note. I was reading this article and I want to talk to you about sponsorship so if you are interested send me an email.

Thanks

Thanks for this man. I had a little bit of bump getting unclutter working and the init script, as I’m running this on an older Redhat 7.3 system, but other than that, works perfectly.

Thanks again,

Ian
