Well, that's how I found this place, and that resulted in one port (so far) :) But I can very clearly see your point. > Something like: > We have 10 people who are willing to work on this or that mainboard if > you get them a system they can keep for doing the work, given that the > northbridge and southbridge are already supported...

Once I can get my ******* laptop fixed and wrap up the cn700 board, I'd love to do a port for Via's new pico-itx board, but I have no real incentive (or money) to purchase the hardware. Yes it's an unsupported chipset, but it should be similar enough to the cn700 that I should be able to work with it. -Corey -- linuxbios mailing list linuxbios@linuxbios.org http://www.linuxbios.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
