The OpenZaurus 2.4.21 collie (5000d/5500) tree is exactly that. Some drivers cleaned up, some thrown out completely and rewritten. Lots of hacks were removed, along with code sections that aren't even utilized in the binaries used (e.g. XIP). The plan is to merge in the necessary bits from the poodle/corgi/husky/shepherd trees (c7x0 and 5600) into our clean 2.4.21 tree, and then move on to pushing forward Zaurus support into 2.6. -- Chris Larson - kergoth at handhelds dot org Embedded Linux Developer - clarson at ti dot com OpenZaurus Project Maintainer - http://openzaurus.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
