No, we do not plan to support the B2's further. Every day, more MP systems get built than the sum of developer prototypes; it just doesn't make sense. Some things will eventually help B2's but we can't afford the testing time, so I expect things will stop working. I'm suprised you were able to install 690 on a B2 in the first place. > * Are there any older services or configurations which need to be > deleted or modified? > * Is it possible to add more RAM?
