Bad. Really bad. But at 53333 it's possible to get
the gist of what's going on.

I've not been looking for TV stations. The one I
played was a complete accident.

I'm pretty sure I saw some Eastern European radio
stations.

I think the bare.i kernel is best for people wanting
something extra (like sound or firewalling or wireless).
Bare.i covers all the bases (including CONFIG NET_RADIO).

As it is, mplayer only works on PIIs and above, so our
current fascination with sound is only marginally relevant
to our target hardware.

Me too. You get the best performance from Linux by compiling
a kernel precisely configured for your hardware.

My sound kernel is PII only (to match my hardware).
