OKAY NICHOLAS, NO ONE WILL BUILD VIRTUAL PACKAGES!! Ya'll need to communicate better with this list because we had no idea the state of ARM because NO ONE is posting diffs and SUCH on this list and asking people to test. It SUCKS that there is no devs working on this platform but you're acting like a snake on Christmas because of all our questions. We didn't mean to rustle your jimmies with such force!! The REAL question is what can us "retarded gorillas" (as you would say) do to help? I already donate what money I can from working in asbestos mine and I spent my hard liquor money on a Bagel board so I could help you test the codes. I wish I could help with the programming but since I was bitten by a bird I can no longer program!! HELP US HELP _YOU_ by communicating using words and phrases!! Yours in Christ, Chester "Tee" Field Esq.
