Re: Install mini-iso and kernel available for new AlBook

Hi list,

Humbly quoting my little self:

On  12 Jan, this message from me, myself an I echoed
through cyberspace:

I forgot that pbbuttonsd needs ADB compiled in to work. Not sure what it
is useful for, since I'm pretty sure these 'Books have no trace of ADB
nowhere. Anyway...

New kernel & iso:

http://www.cpu.lu/~mlan/ftp/debian/albook-mini.iso
http://www.cpu.lu/~mlan/ftp/debian/kernel-image-2.6.15-ln3-powerpc_10.00.Custom_powerpc.deb

The link hasn't changed:

http://www.cpu.lu/~mlan/ftp/debian/kernel-albook.deb

The new iso is quite a bit smaller, I hope it works.... let me know if
it doesn't.

Cheers

Michel

PS That kernel even supports sleep (i.e. suspend to RAM).... Hooray :-)
