- I had a couple of thoughts. I may not have any more for a while
- because those about burned me out, so here they are:
-
- It would be a great help to those of use who don't have a disk
- editor for someone to upload pre-edited bootimages to the directories
- that now normally hold bootimages and/or rootimages. We'd need four
- more images, I guess: one for booting partition 1, one for 2, 3, and
- partition 4. If the space can be spared on the ftp sites, it would be
- a great help. I can't afford to buy a disk-editor myself, and I don't
- want to pirate one either. Is there anyone who owns a good editor who
- would be willing to do this for future releases? (Yes, I'm always this
- glib when volunteering other people :-)
- Also, a beginner's guide to kernel recompilations might be
- nice, with a section on what exactly it entails, why it's useful, and
- some common problems encountered in doing so. This is also a project
- that I guess I'm asking someone else to do, since I don't have the
- necessary experience -- although I'd be more than glad to help in any
- way I can.
- Comments?
