Re: Fwd: Re: Re: Special use for the SLIMP3 (fwd)

I see your point - some of this is a little tricky though, because of the
way IR is handled. Once you exit the setup menu, everything is under the
control of the server. We need to change things a bit in order to have a
way to get back to the setup menu (perhaps holding down "power" for 3
seconds).

The reason for the kiosk mode is also to make the SliMP3 safe in public
places, where kiddies can't go in and muck with the IP settings. So
probably a hybrid approach is the best way to go - skip setup after some
timeout during startup, but also provide a way to disable the setup menu
entirely.
