night about some of the issues that have been mentioned here, and I am

Hi, all -
I stopped by the ABI, and we're in luck for moving our "4th Thursday"
to "4th Tuesday" this month to get away from Thanksgiving.
So, PySIG is ON, Tuesday the 23rd, 7:00PM at the Amoskeag Business
Incubator, 33 South Commercial Street, Manchester.
Agenda to follow. If we have one.(*)

I am trying to get vnc-server running on my Cell Blade which runs YDL.

Like repotags? i.e., build a custom kernel, and install of calling it
