Message-Id: List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-ia64@vger.kernel.org With the CD you built I probably won't mess with building another ISO any time soon. I will try reading CD-R and CD-RW discs and tell you if that works ok. I'd also be happy to be involved in testing any future CDs as we move down the road. Are any of the other tools you announced available? From the LWE presentation: Toolchain functional IA-64 backend for gcc (egcs) IA-64 assembler ELF64/IA-64 support in binutils kernel- and user-level IA-64 simulator User-level initial GNU libc and libm port Native User Environment (/nue) turns Linux/x86 machine into Linux/ia64 machine allows quick and easy development and building of user-level software I'd like to get going on porting/testing as many apps as I can as soon as I can. ;-) PS: nice Virtual Team Picture... ;-) David Mosberger wrote: > > As far as CD-RW and DVD read capability goes: I have no idea if it > does.

All I need to know I could have learned in Kindergarten ... if I'd just been paying attention.
