I just picked up an old Corel Netwinder on eBay, and I've discovered that the netwinder.org ftp site no longer carries the firmware images, due to DMCA issues. Fortunately I have an old dm-3.1-15a.tar.gz tarball lying around that I downloaded back in 2000. As I recall, the Netwinder had a tiny hard drive, but I've got an old 80 GB laptop hard drive to upgrade it with. The dm-3.1-15a.tar.gz tarball contains a 2.2 kernel. Has anyone gotten a more recent kernel to work on a Netwinder? I'd like to run a 2.6 kernel if possible, and ideally to upgrade the entire system to CentOS 5. As I recall, the Netwinder OS was based on a version of Redhat from before the Fedora/RHEL split. -- John Abreau / Executive Director, Boston Linux & Unix AIM abreauj / JABBER jabr-iMZfmuK6BGBxLiRVyXs8+g at public.gmane.org / YAHOO abreauj / SKYPE zusa_it_mgr Email jabr-mNDKBlG2WHs at public.gmane.org / WWW http://www.abreau.net / PGP-Key-ID 0xD5C7B5D9 PGP-Key-Fingerprint 72 FB 39 4F 3C 3B D6 5B E0 C8 5A 6E F1 2C BE 99
