- Following a chat with Russell at the show, it seems to be a good idea to
- get integrated with one of the big Linux distributors. Red Hat are
- unwilling to integrate a non-ELF based distribution, but as you can see
- from the message below, Debian don't see a.out as a problem. Is anyone
- else interested in lending a hand building packages? I'm going to install
- Debian on the PC I'm buying at the weekend, so I'll hopefully be able to
- suss the debian packaging fairly quickly. There's docs on it available
- from their website - http://www.debian.com/ - if you're interested.
-
- By the way, Russell, you're absolutely right, if I boot off hard disc,
- there's no problem with the IRQs. I'm just waiting for my hard drive to
- zip up so I can repartition it.
