Yes, thanks. I already have received some helpful hints from him - my mail was just between "box powered on successfully" and "we have a working debian kernel package", which is a natural point with adding new hardware to our setup every time. Nothing bad re 3A, and sorry if someone read it that way. (That's the reason why I asked for "please let's check again in two months", because it just needs a bit of time also on my sid, but nothing else than that probably.) (And just for those who are curious, I have now an kernel built by myself, but some more steps need to be done - just on the next step on the way to have everything done. Nothing unexpected, but everything normal.) Andi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
