I don't know the official status but I'm running Debian testing on my fuloong. Most things seem to work, i was able to do a USB install. I didn't find any good instructions for the install and I was unable to get grub to work, so I'm currently putting up with very slow pmon boots. It's a very slow machine, but I think that's just the nature of the hardware. At least when I tried, the debian-installer build doesn't have a driver for the network chip in the fuloong, you have to find a regular kernel, pull out the module, and pack it into debian installer. I've reported a bug but there doesn't seem to be any action. Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
