Re: [linuxdc-dev] Tried my best. Can't get anything to work

[Gregg C L. <dr...@wo...>]

Hello from Gregg C Levine
Adrian, I visited your site. Downloaded the "kernel-boot.elf", and
"kernel-boot.elf.gz" files. Recieved a 404 error from that Demon, when I
attempted to explore the other parts of your website. It indicated that the
documents, and downloads portions of the site from
http://www.mcmen.demon.co.uk.for dc section, that is on dcweb. I also tried
out the actual file, "kernel-boot.elf", via the serial loader functions that
I use here, that's the "dc load 1.0.3" version from Napalm. And it worked,
as expected, complaining about not finding your NFS server, and panicing
when it reached the space where it was supposed to find the NFS supplied
stuff. Are there plans to have anything else hosted there?
