Hi,
I want to free up my rootfs and so I want to source out the boot video to an other directory.

I typed the commands in the follow order:
Code:
sudo gainroot

mkdir /home/user/MyDocs/media
cd /usr/share/hildon-welcome
rm -r media
ln -s /home/user/MyDocs/media /usr/share/hildon-welcome
In the /home/user/MyDocs/media I stored the video what I want as boot viedo.

If I type
Code:
cd /usr/share/hildon-welcome/media
xterm show me
Code:
/home/user/MyDocs/media
So I think the systemlink is correct, but on startup the device don´t show the video.

Do I make a mistake or is it impossible to source out the boot video?

Is MyDocs mounted before the boot video runs?

hmm I don´t know.
Wich directories are mounted before the boot video run and aren´t in the rootfs?
When the storage card is mounted?

Tried moving the media folder you created or just the video to /opt/ ?

I´ll try to explain all steps to put the boot video to another directory (with my bad english). It´s a bit faster than my first way. Because I move the whole directory to /opt

1st.: run xterm and type
Code:
sudo gainroot
2nd.: move the directory, where the boot video is storaged to /opt
Code:
mv /usr/share/hildon-welcome/media /opt
3rd: link the new directory path to the old. So the system can find the boot video at startup
Code:
ln -s /opt/media /usr/share/hildon-welcome
If you want to have another boot video, you can modify
Code:
/etc/hildon-welcone.d/default.conf
just enter the video name that you have storaged in /opt/media

I hope you understood what I did.

You mean I need write this in the default.conf file:

Code:
[hildon-welcome]
filename=/opt/media/my_video.avi
?
