and now, the brief Aurora update:
I'm still waiting for Tom Duffy to send me his o(1) patches, so that I can go ahead and build 0.96 (it would just be 0.95-enterprise, but I'm going to put the sun4c forkbomb patch into the main kernel at the same time). if they dont come in by the end of the day today, i'm just going to disable the enterprise build in the spec and build 0.96...because...
Jeremy seems to have resolved one of the major auroraconda issues last night, everywhere i turn, theres a note from him saying "i think i fixed auroraconda". thats a good sign. ;)
I still need to respin the 6.2 ISO after inflating the initrd such that it takes up 2.88M of boot image total, and see if it will boot. If it does, isos are much much easier, if it doesn't, we're going to have to do some serious serious black magic to get the installer in 1.44M. Which in and of itself isn't necessarily so bad. We'd need that to happen anyways if we want boot floppies. Right now, I'd settle for bootable isos.
And if I can have something for a few people to test before I go to the beach on Saturday (i'll be gone for a week), that would be excellent. But, one thing at a time.
