That sounds fantastic. From what I see, we'll have to be wired to supply a complete kernel rpm, as the libertas driver comes with the kernel rpm. It it possible for you to build kernels in a reasonably timely fashion following Fedora's security updates? Doesn't have to be immediate, but the XS has more "internet exposure" than the XO. I am still interested in understanding what the state of the driver and firmware is, but that's for another subthread... thanks! m -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff ___ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel

That doesn't resolve the issue of not having the usb ready before looking for the ks file. I re-rolled anaconda to fix that, and not to copy stage2 to /tmp before mounting it. http://members.shaw.ca/jvonau/pub/usbfix.patch http://members.shaw.ca/jvonau/pub/anaconda-11.4.0.82-3olpc.src.rpm Jerry ___ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel

My guess is: in the general devel forum in moodle.org. Copying Matt Clarkson as he's the main dev for it. cheers, m -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff ___ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel

It was ok when boot.iso was only 15meg, but now... Rough "thinning" script: http://members.shaw.ca/jvonau/pub/mkslim Turns the current DVD sized install iso into a CD sized one. Should see if my pungi patches could be ported to revisor, then this script would not need, for the spin to fit on a cdrom.
