Yes, but the question is why Darrick moved the runnix images to his
"obsolete" directory when they are not obsolete. I agree with Mark that they
should still be more readily available/visible as you cannot always rely on
the combined runnix/astlinux images that Darrick has. Specifically, I was
unable to create my VMWare virtual appliance from his generic 586 image... I
had to start from the runnix image, then add on the generic 586 image into
the virtual hard drive that I created. I have no idea why it did not work
from the combined image, it just didn't.
