Please do. I've actually got a copy of BlueCat, which came with my ELJ
contest kit. So far, I've been less than successful at getting it to boot
(believe it or not, their network bootstrap loader won't work across a
router), and there tech support has apparently been following the Dispair
Inc. Apathy motto: If we ignore our customers, maybe they'll go away, but
this could be related to the fact that I have a 'freebie' version...
On the plus side, their distribution installed a cross-compile develompent
environment on my RH 6.2 box successfully, and they look to have a fairly
large list of pre-built packages. The boot problems are also at least
partially due to the embedded PC card I've been trying to get BlueCat
working with...
