[Mentalunix-developers] So, if we're coming back to life...

[Clinton E. <unk...@un...>]

I guess it would be good to at least try to start the project back up. 
I'm almost done configuring and tweaking the installer disk kernel, and 
should have a basic pgi based installer iso uploaded in a few days 
(good thing I have bandwidth at school...the images are around 90MB). 
I'm going to try to find work (hmm..Best Buy is suddenly seeming evil, 
but workable [I'm fscking desperate...I've got nowhere else to go]). I 
am going to be apply the imon patch, preempt kernel patch, and resierfs 
patch. Should I apply the lpp patch (it is the patch that hides the 
boot messages with an image and a progress bar 
(http://lpp.freelords.org/)? I'll put that as later in my TODO file. 

On the thread of the installer--the progeny configlet system 
(hackers.progeny.com) uses Python, but I don't really like Python (it 
doesn't kill me to use it...). I'll look around to see if I can get 
anyone to join the project so we can have a vote on whether to use 
Progeny's configlet system or write our own (I am thinking Guile 1.6 + 
Guile-Gtk and a simple config library, probably rewritten from the 
configlet system). I'm grabbing the configlet source to see if it would 
be possible to simply at Guile support so everyone can do both.
