Hah, yeah it was pretty obvious that I was a little frustrated. No hard feelings though. I mentioned the reasonable time frame because I was pretty sure that someone already had a solution for my problem. I just wanted to express that there shouldn't be any excuses for why some of us are able to run latest compiles and some of us cannot. Lets share the latest progress of everyone, that's what this is all about. I'll try to contribute what I can. But while I'm quite the pro at writing autoit scripts, correcting the perl scripts to my liking, and preparing batch scripts to pass to todo.pl, linux isn't my territory... at my employment or home... so some of the most important initial guts of unattended I understand on a purely theoretical level :(

The unattended project is intended to avoid wasting time on same duties so it could save time that could be spent to maybe....just maybe.. to learn how to compile new kernel in Linux :-) > > Anyway, if the maintainers don't have a pipeline set up to update the > kernel in the project's image...

Have a look on our wiki as well there is some info (I can give you write access if you need it) Cheers, juan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stay on top of everything new and different, both inside and around Java (TM) technology - register by April 22, and save $200 on the JavaOne (SM) conference, June 2-5, 2009, San Francisco. 300 plus technical and hands-on sessions.
