I have setup the Raspberry Pi to run XBMC, and I want it to boot up to always play a playlist and files on the SD card. I have turned off the Raspbmc automatic update. It still runs okay when I switch the SD card to the "lock" position. Now my qeustions are:

1. Will the "read-only" SD card system works all the time in my application?

2. Since the SD card is always in read-only mode, if I do not use shutdown command, and just turn off the power switch, will it damage my system?

3. Even if this works reliablely, it will always pop-up the message "Raaspbmc did not shut down properly". Is there any way to disable this message when the Pi powers up?
Yes in the raspbmc setup program you can switch it off.
Thanks and now I turned it off.

Also find out that the lock switch is ignored by Raspbmc and the SD card still can be written with the lock switch on.
