Is that an issue? I've been using images based on the ones here [0]. The only problem is they are 1GB. It looks like aranym can use an IDE1 disk image, so it would probably be easiest to put the chroots on IDE1. I'm willing to do the work if you're willing to host. :) Thanks, Stephen [0] <http://wiki.aranym.org/afs/setup_linux> -- Stephen R.
