I noticed that too. I edited the wiki page accordingly a few days ago.
3/ PMON graphical interface
The PMON graphical interface offers a more userfriendly way to change
the system parameters.
Open it by pressing the "b" key at boot time
Doesn't work on my machine. If someone can figure out the specifics of
this, please add to the Lemote page on our wiki.
However, some parameter changes are saved correctly whereas some other
not:
Lemote is still actively developping PMON [1]. You could submit bug
reports about your problems.
6/ With the 2.6.35 and the 2.6.37 kernels the yeelong-base and
grub-yeeloong packages seem to be not more required. However the suspend
to ram and the hibernate function dont work anymore.
Yeeloong-base does 2 things (so far): update the kernel and provide an
init script for wifi. We've kept to 2.6.32 for a while now because there
was no real need to update.
Yeeloong-base also pulls in grub-yeeloong because it's a nicer boot
loader than PMON. It's slow, but I hear that's a lot better in newer
versions of GRUB (should even be usable as a firmware replacement for
PMON). We haven't got around to updating it yet.
Suspend and hibernate work for me with both .35 and .37. Make sure you
edit the swap partition in /etc/fstab for .37. Do you get any error
messages (check dmesg)?
