Hi, New binary kernels for 4.2 are now up at http://tilde.se/flashboot/ The big news this time is support for more platforms, including a new bootable cd. The Generic-kernel is now 100% in sync with the stock 4.2 kernel, this means that all drivers should be in there. Please give us a shout if this gives you problems. Regards, Rickard.
newfs have changed and I didn''t notice, all image-files are therefore pulled from my web until I get it fixed. Kernels should be fine however. Rickard.

Big thanks to you and the other developers for making this! Flashboot together with Soekris is really nice stuff. // rancor On Tue Dec 18 16:58 , Rickard Dahlstrand sent: Hi, New binary kernels for 4.2 are now up at http://tilde.se/flashboot/ The big news this time is support for more platforms, including a new bootable cd.

And thanks for using it!! ;-) It would be really nice to find out more about the people using flashboot. Who are you, what are you using it on/for and why do you like it compared to other distributions. Also if you have which us to focus future development on anything specific. I know was a bit late with the 4.2 release, perhaps a few answers to my questions above will get 4.3 out faster, who knows. ;-) Rickard. rancor at dathomir.se wrote:> Big thanks to you and the other developers for making this! > > Flashboot together with Soekris is really nice stuff. > > // rancor > > On Tue Dec 18 16:58 , Rickard Dahlstrand sent: > > Hi, > > New binary kernels for 4.2 are now up at > http://tilde.se/flashboot/ > <parse.pl?redirect=http%3A%2F%2Ftilde.se%2Fflashboot%2F> The > big news this time is support for more platforms, including a new > bootable cd. > > The Generic-kernel is now 100% in sync with the stock 4.2 kernel, this > means that all drivers should be in there.

Mostly for network appliances (firewalls) and more recently spamd based bridges. The mindroot.org page does not seem to indicate many recent changes. To whom to I submit changes for things I have discovered and added local fixes? -- Russell Sutherland russ AT madhaus . cns . utoronto . ca +1.416.978.0470 [ voice ] +1.416.978.6620 [ fax ]

The ability to easily update without pulling the CF card is what made me switch from flashdist. Keep up the good work. -John

That''s the main reason I switched to the flashboot framework over and above flashdist or a full install. Keeping upgraded every 6 months and with patches is a bit too much when an internal CF card is involved.
