Could somebody *PLEASE* tell me just what email address is on that page?
*sigh* unicent.com lapsed, and should be deleted, if not at the least on
hold. I called NSI on orders from the incompetents above and told 'em to
just let the domain lapse, because we wouldn't pay. (For those of you who
don't know what happened to Unicent Technologies, email me privately if
you'd like to hear a tale of damn near illegal business practices.)
Anyways, I'm still fixing about a half million things around the office,
and HOPEFULLY *HOPEFULLY* will have some images for dual to octal CPU
604e systems, and POSSIBLY a *VERY* **VERY** beta RS64 kernel. This is
assuming, of course, that I can get these people off of my back over
things that are beyond my control long enough do to a make zImage, or
even a patch -p0.
The updated site will be at ftp://mokole.nexbell.com/pub/rs6k/
Other developments may affect this, I will try to keep everyone updated
as things change. Sorry for being a bit out of touch there, everyone.
It's been a really rough past few months. (Gods, I hate working for a
startup.)
