Thanks, will try.

Alas, the code I want to test is done in C (Mandos client), and as a developer I had my share of issues from the differences in what GCC flags different architectures support. > - The really screwy setup and UBoot problems (that should be fixed > in someone's FreedomMaker repository, I don't recall which). This is one of my concerns I wanted to remove by testing. I do not know if UBoot boots an initramfs like Debian does on a normal PC. I have also some slight worries that bringing up the wireless interface in the initramfs environment might bring its own issue that don’t exist with wireless cards in a PC/laptop. > In short, aside from having a different number of ethernet > interfaces, you aren't missing anything substantial, it's actually > easier to use a VM.

I should be able to at least do some preliminary testing (check if FreedomMaker creates an initramfs). But it sounds as I need an actual box to do the testing, since Qemu emulates a PC, not a Dreamplug. Is there a group or list on the wiki with people who has a dreamplug and are willing to perform tests? Thanks, /Belorn. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEAREDAAYFAk9KhR8ACgkQC+Cq+bUsy1LzoACdFihDN0D5s+Rspqu7E9OgnQk/ 79UAmwVT91oTVA54ZvC06qewPP++iFe4 =zzfc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Freedombox-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/freedombox-discuss
