I read the screen-refresh was one problem for the Iliad. Is this likely to be more difficult now or easier?
Many thanks,

Hi Arik,
There are some problems to solve:
- The DR1000 does not have an internal wifi-modem, so you would need an external one (or maybe there is room inside the DR, since once there was a DR1000 with wifi planned).
- The kernel is not build with that many network support, see also
this thread where some people are trying to get usbnet working.
- When usbnet is working it should be possible (I guess) to connect an external ethernet to wifi module?
- Finally the VNC software needs to be ported ...
There might be other possibilities to reach your goal, but the current bottleneck seems to be getting ethernet/usbnet support on the DR1000 (it is working on the DR800).
Marcel.
