Hi, I am writing some video for linux applications which will be used in live setting. It's important that no system/kernel processes start up doing irrelevant maintenence during the program's execution because this kills the frame rates. Does anyone know of any stripped down kernels or other ways in which one can prevent this from happening? I'm not sure what it is that gets run but on occasion some disk-intensive system process starts up in the background which lasts 5-10 seconds and during this time, the video is unwatchable. Thanks, Bilal _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com
