The goal here is to get to the point where vendors take on the responsibility for their own mainboards. I personally want out of this business of doing ports, I have a day job :-) The vendors should be able to do a good job with this, and our work would be assistance and testing. So the mainboards on the list are proof-of-concept, and we hope vendors will pick up on this. Note that Tyan is in fact a contributor, and they are offering linuxbios on several of their new K8 mainboards. You can ask for it with a mainboard. I need to add a 'vendor-supplied linuxbios' web page. ron _______________________________________________ Linuxbios mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.clustermatic.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
