Happy New Year!

Life
A week tomorrow I'm going into hospital for surgery, and I'll be offline for a while afterwards. I've stepped down from leading the Win2Lin FAQ team because of this, and today we had a meeting to talk about what'll happen in my absence.

Christmas was nice and relaxing - I spelt lots and hacked none :)

Going out for a chinese tonight, which'll be nice...

Hacking
Other people seem to be using my Revo Linux boot tree with success, which makes me a happy bunny.

Next step will be to change the initrd so that it doesn't try to start installing Woody, but just boots ;)

I'm hoping to work out if it's possible to somehow (realising it'll take some hardware abuse) to expand the Revo to allow me to attach CompactFlash or something similar, 8Mb ain't very much when it's got to act as RAM and a disk.

If I can, then it'll make it easier to get a working system going that will be good for something more than hack value (cos really "ooh, I can run ash and ping localhost!" is not what a PDA is for)

Wishlist for the future (if I ever get around to this...) is basically expansion, followed by a decent editor (more space means I can have vi) and maybe MicroWindows.

Might also see if I can spot a cheap secondhand 5MX for sale, so I can make use of the CompactFlash...
