We have previously, I expect that if we can get over the threshold
of having SmartFirmware work on one board, that any future boards we
support we would at least pass on our experience with the board. Can you
recommend a readily orderable motherboard (K7 preferable) that the
current CVS sources of linuxbios will run on?
