At present, i think it is better to focus on how to program YIS :-D
I wonder if we can get Yoper 2.91 to work in Xen? I'll give it a shot if I
have some time. Qemu gets hung up at boot time with it for some reason.
Yeah I had trouble getting on irc also. Not sure whats up?
How about a wake up shout to the team?
I know were all busy but a brief hello might do a little good to all.
I totally screwed up my installation of 2.91 so I will reloading soon.
Hey Chaks what did you think about the Universal Linux installer idea?

VMWare is not a toy I use these days to be honest. As far as I am aware,
Yoper
does not work with VMWare - at least not the Blacksand versions. There was a
hacked kernel for the older 2.1 to run with VMWare - I think VMWare has
specific requirements in a kernel if I recall correctly. Perhas one of the
others may run VMWare and can offer some ideas? Otherwise, I can look around
for the VMWare requirements - it should be possible to include the hacks
needed.
As an additional comment - Blacksand does not seem to run under Qemu either.
The first release of the testing version ran - hence my screenshots of it in
Qemu - but I have not been able to reproduce the install with any of the
later versions for some reason. Not sure why - I did spend several days
fiddling about for no result :(
I would suggest an install to hard drive is the best way to test currently.
Anyone recall who hacked the old Yoper system for VMWare? I think it is
mentioned in the forum - I will check later.

I will agree with Tobias here - the irc channel usually has a few people in
there. I saw Chaks had issues getting in yesterday - so maybe there was a
problem with irc in general? I rarely use it myself now.
Cheers,
Mark
