Before I put much effort into installing it on my 735 i have a few questions. my understanding of the current state of the port is that the kernel boots and some user applications run at ... at least a few seconds. right? how "complete" is the cdrom image, e.g. does there exist a /etc directory with some rc.d files and similiar essential things? if i put some effort into installing it then I'll like to use it as a basis for further updates, e.g. when there will be eventually a stable kernel I want to install it over this distribution. I'll have to install probably some further programs, too. Will this be possible with a "reasonable" effort? aehm, i have a 200MB SCSI disk. That is enough, isn't it? thank you, - Stefan
