Do you volunteer for that ?
It seems that no one else is jumping at this idea, so yes, I guess so. Right now I'd like to build from kernel-tree 2.4.27-10, thanks for your instructions on how to do that, very much appreciated. I looked at malo and voltaire, both seem to be busy, presumably acting as buildds, and there is also the problem of installing kernel-tree, as I don't have root. In short, if you could make a machine available that would be most excellent. SSH access would allow me to start the build ASAP. If you want to physically send hardware, thats ok too (though I am not sure where to put it), but lets talk about that later. -- Horms -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
