[plug] Linux on a chip

[John Breen]

I'm sure it's been asked before, but I have a little project I'm
looking at - I want to run a 486 board with Linux on it off a car
battery (with a view to car mounting it...)

Don't REALLY want to take the time to boot of HDD every time the
car's started, so I thought perhaps an EPROM carrying a Linux kernel
could be used, and perhaps (if I can find one) an ATA card for
storage.

The idea is to put together an MP3 player.  Like I said, it's been
discussed before...

Any ideas, info, pointers, etc...?

Cheers,
