There is a solution, and it's sitting on a CD Image on my machine. It's
a fully populated RedHat CD ROM for ARM Linux.
Some of you may remember that I asked a while ago for volenteers to try out
a CD ROM. At the time, I said that I would only produce ONE test CD F.O.C.
I sent it to this guy (in Hampshire, UK), and haven't heard any feedback
on the CD since, dispite me mailing the guy several times. (and he's
probably reading this email).
Consequently, I've done very little with the CD image, and am wondering
why I even bothered creating it in the first place.
[sorry, but I'm still getting annoyed at the all-take attitude of some
people on here, which is why I tend to be overly protective of ARM Linux.
No flames directed at anyone in particular].
