Introduction
StudioF un! is a media-player based on optimized GNU/ Linux distribution. It play s D VD,
VCD , MP3, Audio CD and various other k nown file f ormats. You can tak e s naps hots of
video and customize the saved images as screens avers. Y ou can also store the images
on USB mass storage dev ic es like flash disks and USB floppy disks.
Hardware Requirements
The supported hardware list of StudioFun! grows up every day. So please check the
hwreq.txt located in the root of StudioFun! Installation CD to get the most updated
information.
Ins tallatio n Proce dure
Ins ert the StudioFun! Installation CD in a CD/DVD ROM drive and let the system boot
through the CD. The dis k will boot and bring up the grub boot loader installation menu.
Two opt ions are specif ied.

Installation
This option will do the basic installation of the distribution. The installation works on
pre-inst alled windows or GNU / Linux dist ribution.
On select ing the ’installat ion’ option the inst aller boots and display s a dialog box indicat ing
the s pace required and waits f or a confirmation. Selecting O k will continue t he inst allat ion
while select ing Canc el will t erm inate t he installation and reboot the mac hine.
If Windows or GNU/Linux is the only OS installed on the hard disk wit h no f ree space, it
will resize the partit ion, eit her NTFS or FAT32 or ex t 2, and install StudioFun!. I n c as e the
hard dis k has a 128MB of free s p ace av ailable, t he installatio n will us e the f ree spac e.
Aft er installing the base system y ou will be prompt ed to select the res olution f rom the
following choice s
1. 1024x768 (rec om m ended)
2. 800x 600
3. 640x 480
Select the desired res olut ion. The default is 1024x768 for high-end graphic s.
Nex t y ou will be prompted t o c hoose t he DVD area/region s elec tion code. Choose t his
bas ed on the ty p e of D VDs y ou will be playin g.
The installation procedure will then probe for the type of mouse installed. The distribution
currently supports PS/2, USB and Serial mice. In case of serial m ouse you will hav e to
mov e the mouse when prompt ed. The ot her two are probed and inst alled automatic ally.
The installation procedure will now finish, the CD is eje c ted and a dialog box prompting to
reboot t he m achine is dis play ed. Pres s OK butt on and enjoy StudioFun!.

1. Media c orrupted!! Pleas e check the media! The CD -RO M is corrupt ed.
2. Extract ion of base sy s tem failed!! Pleas e try again later!! The C D -ROM is corrupted.
3. Unsupported hardware found, Aborting... If you try to install StudioFun! on an
unsupported and undocumented hardware the abov e error m ess age is popped.
4. N o device found! This error message is given if t here is no hard disk in the sy stem.
25
Recovery
In c ase of a MBR c orruption, this option should be us ed. It will aut omatically probe the
hard disk m aster boot record and f ind out the inst alled operat ing system(s ). On succ ess it
will re-inst all the boot loader with correct options in the MBR. Any c ustom boot loader
option specified from other GNU/Linux installations will get over written by the newly
probed one.
B o oting to S t udioF un!
After Installation is ov er, rem ove the CD f rom the CD-ROM and restart the machine. After
the machine reboots, you will get the GRUB boot loader menu screen. Select the

battery (3V). If AC power is supplied and the Power Supply is not turned on, 5VSB from
the Power Supply is used. When the Power Supply is eventually turned on 3.3V from the
Power Supply will be used.
There are 3 options: “Former-Sts”, “On”, “Off”.
“Former-Sts” Means to maintain the last status of the CMOS when AC

7 PnP/PCI Configurations
This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. PCI, or Personal Computer
Interconnect, is a system which allows I/O devices to operate at speeds nearing the speed of
the CPU itself uses when commun icating with its own special components. This section
covers some very technical items and it is strongly recommended that only experienced
users should make any changes to the default settin gs.
Figure 7. P nP/PCI Configurations
Reset Configuration Data
The system BIOS supports the PnP feature which requires the system to record which
resources are assigned and protects resources from conflict. Every peripheral device has a
node, which is called ESCD. This node records which resources are assigned to it. The
system nee ds to record and u pdate ES CD to the mem ory lo cations. These locat ions (4K)
are reserved in the system BIOS. If the Disabled (default) option is chosen, the system‘s
ESCD will update only when the new configuration varies from the last one. If the Enabled
option is chosen, the system is forced to update ESCDs and then is automatically set to the
“D isab led” mode.
The above settings will be shown on the screen only if “Manual” is chosen for the resources
controlled by function.

non-PnP ISA add-on cards. PCI / ISA PnP signifies that a resource is assigned to the PCI
Bus or provides for ISA PnP add-on cards and peripherals.
The Choices: Disabled (default), Enabled.
Resources Controlled By
By Choosing “Auto(ESCD)” (default), the system BIOS will detect the system resources
and automatically assign the relative IRQ and DMA channel for each peripheral.By
Choosing “Manual”, the user will need to assign IRQ & DMA for add-on cards. Be sure
that there are no IRQ/DMA and I/O port conflicts.
IRQ Resources
This submenu will allow you to assign each system interrupt a type, depending on the type
of device using the interrupt. When you press the “Press Enter” tag, you will be directed to
a submenu that will allow you to configure the system interrupts. This is only
configurable when “Resources Controlled By” is set to “Manual”.

PCI / VG A Pa lette Sn oop
Choose Disabled or Enabled. Some graphic contro llers which are not VGA compatible
take the output from a VGA controller and map it to their display as a way to provide boot
information and VGA compatibility.
However, the color information comin g from the VGA co ntro l ler is draw n from the palette
table inside the VGA controller to generate the proper colors, and the graphic controller
needs to know what is in the palette of th e VGA contro ller. T o do this, the non-VGA
graphic controller watches for the Write access to the VGA palette and registers the snoop
data. In PCI based systems, where the VGA controller is on the PCI bus and a non-VGA
graphic controller is on an IS A bus, the Write Access to the palette will not show up on the
ISA bus if the PCI VGA controller responds to the Write.
In this case, the PCI VGA controller shou ld not respond to the Write, it should only sno op
the data and permit the access to be forwarded to the ISA bus. The non-VGA ISA graphic
controller can then snoop the data on the ISA bus. Unless you have the above situation,
you should disable this option.
Disabled (default) Disables the function.
Enabled Enables the function.
