Just a note about these particular files. I don't think that on the final version that we're going to be running a kernel or syslog daemon. We're running them right now because they are useful for debugging but I don't want those out there in the field taking up memory and writing to the flash when they don't have to be. I suspect that for most users they will have very little use. --Chris _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
