Re: [iPAQ] How unstable is unstable

I must have missed the 0.5.1pre announcements, guess I need new
glasses. Since my machine is not really doing anything I may try the
new 0.5.2pre root image just to see how it works. Of course right now I
don't have a lot of time but hopefully this weekend. Thanks for the
response and be sure and make the future announcements BIG.
