Re: SS4000E IOP and DMA
Can somebody build
http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/armel/images/daily/iop32x/netboot/ss4000e/zImage
or
http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-armel/current/images/iop32x/netboot/ss4000e/zImage
with USB massstorage builtin?
I want to install Debian to external USB stick.
Thanks!
