EISA...wow, I still have my old Prosigna and Proliant systems that are EISA based, but I haven't tried to install anything on them in several years so I feel for you but you don't *have* to use SmartStart, any drivers or utilities can be run by themselves and more modern Proliants have the utilities built into the ROM.

Looks good, but why build it only for i686? Older architectures are always backwards compatible with new computers.

so is it released? I think I want to try it out.
Florida Rocks!
i think we will make an i586 version as one of my friends and a co developer has a AMD K7 which it wont run on.
GUI installer is now done and so is apt and the system is now in a usable state. It is officially become a "release candidate" we expect it to be able to distribute it in about 6 weeks (docs need doing and we need a server)
