Well, let me tell everyone what's been going on. I got the X packages
mostly done, but there's still several missing files. It's really not
any fun to work on X at all, so that might take me a little while longer
to get finished.
Once I get X done, I'm going to turn my attention to the kernel and
module packages. I'll also work on the bootdisk/root disk/supplemental
disk situation. After all that's done, I'll try making a bootable disc
and see how that goes. Then once I've got that figured out, it'll be
time to put something up for download.
I destroyed the motherboard for the computer that was going to serve up
the downloads and the replacement arrived today. But the machine still
fails to power on, so I've got to work on that before we have a place to
download things from.
Unfortunately, Tuesday through Saturday of next week is ALS so I'll be at
that and not really working on anything of importance.
But give me a few more weeks and I'll have something thrown together
for everyone to break.
