Hi!

I need to strip down the SlimServer installation. Is there perhaps a piece of documentation that explains the usage of the different files in the SlimServer tarball?

Can someone confirm that it is safe to delete the following files, given my platform is an arm processor (Thecus N2100).

SlimServer_v6.3.1/Bin/darwin
SlimServer_v6.3.1/Bin/i386-freebsd
SlimServer_v6.3.1/Bin/i386-linux
SlimServer_v6.3.1/Bin/i386-openbsd
SlimServer_v6.3.1/Bin/powerpc-hardhat-linux
SlimServer_v6.3.1/Bin/sun4-solaris

What about these files?
SlimServer_v6.3.1/Firmware

I'm running perl 5.8.4. Which of these are needed?
SlimServer_v6.3.1/CPAN/arch/5.6
SlimServer_v6.3.1/CPAN/arch/5.8
SlimServer_v6.3.1/CPAN/arch/5.8.4

Any other files I can safely remove?

Cheers,
Mikkel

I don't think so.

I'd remove them. The same is true for files in CPAN/arch which don't match your platform.

This is the player firmware. You only need it to update your players. No idea how it will react if you remove it. You can easily try this on a PC.

- Plugins you don't use
- skins you don't use and which are not inherited by the ones you use
- SoftSqueeze (HTML/EN/softsqueeze)
- Graphics Code2000.ttf?

Just a guess. Try it or leave it :-)

The SlimServer starts, so I take it they are not needed...

Deleted as well, didn't appear to influence SlimServer...

From the look of the filenames it seems like firmware to older versions of SqueezeBox (<3). Anybody knows about this? A pointer to some documentation would be just fine...
