You know, two minutes after I hit send I went and looked and saw that it was actually available in the repos. I did know that the Toshiba preinstall images used it, but I was (mistakenly) under the impression that it was a 'special' for them at the time. > (Sundar and Ethan also sent meeting notes for the AI meeting with Dave of > the Visual Panels team, so you can check in with them, or chat with the > VP folks on their public alias directly.) Yeah, I actually missed that mail from Sundar/Ethan in the churn we've seen lately on caiman-discuss. I've found it in my archives and will definitely be reading up on it. As I said, if it's available, we can make use of it. Ideally it's as simple as just including that package in the list of packages to install and then it just 'does the right thing' upon first boot (as is done for the Toshiba preload images). Which makes it much easier for us to incorporate it (basically a docs blurb to include the package in the client manifest). Of course my team will need to investigate that naturally. > just trying to clear up misinformation, Thanks for the clue-stick :-) -- Glenn
