Hi all,
I just joined the iliad user community. I would like to go the way and run some customized arm eabi debian port (usually run for testing in a qemu envirment) from cf-disc on the iliad. If I piece information together right, I will have to run a newer kernel. I have looked at some hardware drivers like the marvel drivers for the wifi and it seems to be included in kernels higher than the 2.6.21.

I would actually like to go into the direction of creating a purely djvu based (because of speed) alternative os for the iliad with some kind of fuse of xournal and djvu as only gui and a Desktop frontend (as few and as fast software on the iliad as possible) - but this is future work.

Is there any new activity in the kernel development apart from nalim's 2.6.21 port on [URL="http://www.kwik.cz/irex/"]?

Best,
Uli
