Well, I didn't deny the problem, I'm simply editing out what is not true in the Wiki. I don't decide Soekris policies nor do I have any influence as to when a manual will be done.
I just wrote to clarify that I didn't work for Soekris Engineering. Soekris surely reads the mailing-list, so I don't need relay anything written here, nor do I have the means or authority to do so anyway. All I'm really trying to say is, don't expect a power from me that I don't have :) On Jan 20, 2008 2:08 PM, Marc Balmer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > René Luckow wrote: > > > I don't want to get involved in this discussion but let me just > > correct you there: > > > > I do NOT work for Soekris Engineering, I work for Cortex Systems :) > > Ah, yes my fault.
