As with KNOPPIX, MoviX detects hard disk partitions and then mounts them as
you request files from those partitions. The mounts are done read-only, by default, so you
can play your content without any risk of deleting or otherwise damaging it.
Network??”MoviX boots onto the network if a DHCP server is detected. Although the
friendly user interface doesn??™t appear to support it yet, software in MoviX should enable
you to get content from your LAN or the Internet to play back using an NFS (UNIX file
sharing) or FTP (standard Internet file sharing facility) file server.
MoviX boots right up to MPlayer, so you can eject the MoviX disk; insert a CD, DVD, or VCD into
your drive; and play any supported content. Right-click the desktop to see your choices for selecting
content.

Running Bootable Linux Distributions 19
If you are comfortable moving around in Linux, you can go to different virtual terminals while you
are using MoviX. Press Ctrl+Alt+F2 to view a sound mixer or Ctrl+Alt+F3 to go to a Linux shell.
Then press Ctrl+Alt+F4 to get back to the main screen (with MPlayer). Select Switch to MoviX
from the menu, and you can choose to run your audio player, slide show, or TV viewer (the latter
if you have a television card installed).
If you think MoviX is cool, you??™ll really like the idea of the eMoviX project.
