Thanks Spot - I'm glad I asked. Well, firstly let me say how impressed I am with the speed at which you and Dennis have been working on this release - thanks as ever for all the hard work. I'd be very happy to be an early tester and provide feedback and bug reports where possible. The U60 has dual hdds, and I usually clone the main drive to the second before trying anything quite this experimental: if the testing fails, I just clone the disk back and try again, learning from the previous mistakes. I'm certainly not worried about ISOs or even gnome particularly, but does the broken .sparcv9 stuff include openssh? that would be a bit of a show stopper. _______________________________________________ Aurora-sparc-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.auroralinux.org/mailman/listinfo/aurora-sparc-user Aurora FAQ: http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~mas01r/aurorafaq.html
