RE: Booting off SD?

All, attached is an image booted to run level 5 (GPE login screen).

I have a couple rootfs images - basically the same, one for mmc boot, one
for nfs. Only real difference is /etc/fstab and /etc/network/interfaces. No
other differences (kernel is the same, all apps are the same).

I was gonna put 'em on my apacne server, but in the end, they're 15 Meg of
stuff (tarred and gzipped), which would not be a thrill for all to download
given my DSL is all of 384K up.

Instead - there was a guy who mentioned putting them on a 100MBit backbone,
which would be much better. If you can just e-mail me where to put 'em, I'm
happy to share.

Tom

Good job Tom!
