Hi Chris,
Sounds good to me. I'm all for getting this out for
more people to test out. I think its a great idea to
keep the mailing list and the rsync server going and
to keep them closed. I've been testing out the KDE
packages, so far things are working. I'll have a
detailed email for you tonight. I got some blank cd's,
so I'll start playing with that in a few minutes. One
question I had for you. If I get the aboot bootable on
the cd. Is there a way I can have the boot/root disks
images be used? Let me know, and I'll try it out.
