People, The linux-apus mail address on sunsite is now forwarding all incoming mails to the sourceforge user list. This means anyone still on the sunsite list will receive _zero_ mails going forwards - hopefully that should alert them to the state of affairs. Also, I will keep an eye on user postings and reply (privately) to anyone still using the sunsite address. It would be good if we could get something up on http://linux-apus.sourceforge.net/ ASAP (even just a simple page to forward to the project page), and then announce the new list on some Amiga WEB pages and mailing lists. Thanks, Jesper |

Is it plural ? is there more than 1 floppy ? You are really curious :) They're called boot-floppies mainly for PCs where you really have to make at least two floppies (one for the kernel and one for the ramdisk) to start the install. But that's not necessary for us.

This could be used like a FAQ-o-matic IMHO. Existing FAQs can be opened there and then closed again. And anyone can open a new entry if her problem isn't solved yet. It requires people to check the closed Support Requests before opening new ones though for good working. Michel -- Therapy is expensive, popping bubble wrap is cheap.
