Oh Lord. BeBox support in 2.2.x (more likely 2.3.x/2.4.0) would be neat, and will happen, but is a ways off. First, he's using the 2.0.32 bootdisks from 980610. Second, BeBoxen have been mostly coaxed into booting UP under 2.2.x. Tho I think they're using 2.2.2 from Linus, and don't have the MTX SMP stuff from Troy. BeBox support (from what I can tell) needs just a bit of work, and the people w/ the current source are a bit busy. --- Tom Rini (TR1265) http://dobbstown.yeti.edu/
