now thatz weird

Brain dead Windows Vista says:
C:\Users\XYZ>ipconfig /release
The requested operation requires elevation.

Zen and the art of higher conciousness in Vista??? or is it yogic powers?? XP used to be down to earth like us common folks.. ;)

weathering the world

It is interesting to see http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS2766418755.html .. if windriver manages to get taken over by IBM, do we see a better set of patches coming the opensource way? i'd say there'd be finally a good competition to Montavista in embedded support sphere

Keep track of kernel developments... if u track kernel trap like me.. u'd want this too in ur list: http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/Linux_Weather_Forecast

Duh Ubooot!!!

With Denx opening the gates on Dat's Das Uboot, it is kind of interesting to see how things will flow on the "much belated" uboot push into the uboot official tree.
For those interested:
Uboot home page: http://www.denx.de/wiki/UBoot
Custodians: http://www.denx.de/wiki/UBoot/Custodians
ARM custodian is:Peter Pearse
ARM Tree weblink: http://www.denx.de/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=u-boot/u-boot-arm.git;a=summary
How to pull a uboot git: http://www.denx.de/wiki/UBoot/CustodianGitTrees

Patch status: http://www.denx.de/wiki/UBoot/PatchStatus

Compiler to use was already covered in my document: http://www.geocities.com/crecmca98/Linux/omap2430_From_almost_scratch.pdf
Codegen is the best..

Things I am planning on doing: start with 2430, move to 3430 patches.

I am thinking strongly of forcing muxing of individual drivers(not in uboot) to be done exclusively by kernel..
