I am relatively busy here, and while I'll update a couple times a week since I can do that late at night, but its not that often I get a chance to make chips and really test things recently. So as a tester, I'm almost out of business. You're getting far more complaints from this stretch install of your most recent "testing" iso, on the "I expect it to do everything house machine" that is still 100 ft of cat5 and several walls away from any of my "it cuts metal" machines. When I do get a chance to play, I'll likely pester you folks for a sample configure script so I can try to build master right on the pi thats running my sheldon. That will be slow, but should go ok on a 120Gb SSD. Amazingly, if I stay away from more than a j2 while building a kernel, the existing small fan cooler seems to make it bulletproof, I'm now getting uptimes from power bump to power bump. > >> JT > > _______________________________________________ > Emc-developers mailing list > Emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers > > _______________________________________________ > Emc-developers mailing list > Emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
