Lets make a poll to find out how many of us are booting bering from a floppy and decide from there. Personally I've been using Bering-uClibc for 5-6 years I started from a floppy on a 486, when I pushed the button to boot I had to go and make a cup of coffee call a friend and then work on it again. >> I think I'll start slow and move my boxes to openwrt where the kernel is 2.6 >> > > I am in the early phases of a 2.6 LEAF mainly because 2.4 is loosing > development momentum. > Yesterday I downloaded openwrt ( kamikaze ), I played a bit around and build (x86) a system that It supposed to boot, in no time on my laptop ( Actually I was away ) with no problems. Then I changed a few vars and build a mipsel image of the same config. I would kill to see THIS on our ENV which I've worked with it for years, I am familiar ( debian look and feel ) and love it.
