[Netnice-developer] [Knoppix/Netnice remastering]

[Takashi O. <ta...@wi...>]

Dear netnice developers,

I am sorry that I have not been able to contact the list. I have been
hooked up with the medical school business in Japan, and have been
unable to make any move. Now, I have returned to Pittsburgh and will
stay here for a month, to work on the project.

BTW, we have been using FreeBSD as a platform of the bootable demo CDROM.
But, it is a bit costly to build the bootable FreeBSD, particularly
because we need to manually maintain the bundled software, such as X,
firefox, etc. So, I would like to make it Knoppix-based this time, and
for this purpose, I need a volunteer. Knoppix remastering process is quite
straightforward for Linux (debian) users, and will not take a day. Because
a spare harddrive may facilitate the processing, I may offer an external
HDD to the volunteer, if needed.

In the meantime, I will be working on the in-kernel lightweight JVM/JIT
project, NVM (Netnice VM), and will try to release the code by April.
Because there is no such JVM in public domain, I think the code would be
quite usable for many projects, not just limited to our VIFlet system.

So, I would really appreciate your help. Please let me know if interested.
I will be more than glad to assist you.

thanks!
