- Your on the right mailing list - and someone will probably shortly get
- round to telling you how difficult it is to build 2.1.x kernels - my
- advice? Wait a month or so.
-
- Anyway, the 'understanding' problem we seem to be having here is that
- the ARM is known world round, but the RiscPC is known in a small corner
- of the western spiral arm* of Europe known as the UK - and very few places
- else.
-
- Up until a few months ago 90% of the people on this list were
- probably Acorn users using a RiscPC, A5000 or some piece of Acorn
- kit with an ARM in it. Recently we are seeing people with Corel
- Netwinders, obscure development cards, and ARM powered shoelaces
- asking about Linux.
-
- So as I say - kill the flames.
