Hi Stuart, Thanks very much for the response il go over the documentation provided and look into miniroot etc etc. Ive started documenting my journey with this unit ( from a technical view ).
The installer idea is interesting as the fc18 image actually finishes up with running the configuration script just as if you did an install from a cd / image. Perhaps this is the correct approach. I was testing all distro's / images at the time to make sure I was seeing the same activity when I was getting the Bluettooth working. So maybe do an image that then starts off running the ncurses slackware configuration tool to setup networking / wifi etc etc. may require some changes / additions for wpa_supplicant. Under all distro's ive tested with none deal with wpa_supplicant, so it requires manual editing. What do you think?
