Hi,

first of all:
Congratulation. You really managed it, to get linux working on the 
Networkstation (1000).

When i bought mine about two years ago, i was very disapointed, because 
of the software delivered by IBM - now i can really have a debian on my 
box :-)

But there is still some work to do.
First of all, i would suggest, to provide binary packets directly on 
sourceforge. I already installed the cross-compiler and patched the 
kernel - but i did not manage to build my own Kernel :-( So i was very 
happy about the link to http://networkstation.aytolacoruna.es/ where i 
downloaded the kernel and a root-fs - so everything worked fine.

Second: Is there a way to get X to work with 16bpp? I get an ugly green 
double-picture...

The last point on my wish-list is really a add-on:
I root-image, only providing an X-Server using xdmcp

.. but i hope i will be able to do this myself by stripping the provided 
root-image.

Thanks a lot and keep on this good work!

Ciao
