you posted it. I want the link to it. seeing as how a live-cd for 2004.2 for sparc never made it, I can't see as how a 2004.3 exists. Please prove me wrong.
hmm i dunno. I'm pretty sure you can get a claudia schiffer palm Vx pretty cheap right about now. for every signature model sold of this that or the other thing there are 20 in a warehouse rotting away.
i wonder if they take back the one i have with the connector busted/shorted due to a poor design? hopefully its in the right lot. good thing a keep all broken computer parts in a big box in my basement. too bad the site is slashdotted. anybody need a 2Gb HD? how about a sony vaio pcg-505 lcd? oh, here's a 8 port 10 Mb 3Com hub with 2 bad ports. lots of wall warts... what do you do with this shit? everyone has the same box... it isn't even worth ebaying.
I did simalr research about a year or so ago. I wanted to build an mp3 player for my V70 (uses Alpine OEM) AND run it from the head unit via the cd changer controls and LCD. I did find one from Volkol, but all you get is the rca inputs, no signaling, so you need an external LCD and control (like the Crystal Fontz 633). This market is just at its infancy, if Alpine beat the other stereo vendors to market opening up their CD changer protocol (or just make it something simple top of RS232) just think of all the after market products. And all the Alpine stereos that would go into dashboards to support the new devices.
no disk? no monitor? no keyboard? what's the definition? as the x86 platform gets smaller and smaller, linux makes perfect sense. Yes you need to read a bit, but you can get console over RS232, boot off Compact Flash, and build a kernel to do what ever you want. Not to mention x86 hardware is cheap.
i have a slimp3 (over two years now) and a home file server running 24/7. this would be my recommend setup. if your not going to rip and play dvds to your home server, any old pc will do (mine is a ppro w/ 128Mb and two 40Gb drives w/ raid 1, 200w). if power consumption is your hangup... get a fanless 60w mini-itx and use laptop drives. i would say you want to back it up, but if you want low power, its out there.
the only packages you need on it is perl, nfs, smb, ssh, and of course the slim server.
you parents probably have an old P-166 one in their basement next to a Amana Radar Range that died back in '85. Find a frind that has a zip-lock bag full of old simms (you know who you are). But do purchase two new hard drives and set up raid 1. total cost about $100. my p-pro has been running for about 4 years now 24/7 (other than a hard drive failue). scrap the monitor and key board once its set up. use ssh.

do you have a web site we could mirror the dell recall info at?

Don't just dump your sh*t when nobody is looking. You may get caught.
I tried downloading and building 2004.1 last week. There is [was?] a silly bug in coreutils preventing a simple
# emerge system
yes, there are work arounds but I want MORE!
my guess is this is the lag in the sparc32 LiveCD.
this may be fixed (disclaimer to prevent flaming). i don't know yet. i'll have to try download and build tonight.

then don't use huge hardware.

the hush mini-itx rates high on geek factor in my book.
