Re: [gNewSense-users] GNS on Fuloong Mini: success

[matti christensen]

i'm writin this w tablet ( note that i wont mention the linux variant  
) as the three smallest kids are drawing near by ;o)

there appears to be a wiki page about the metad file - i'll take a  
close look at that and then add some metad file to  
'initrd_2.6.37_fuloong_0.2.gz'

my line about weather ment that here we have so much snow that it  
bends trees over power lines so that we have serious trouble = many  
houses have no electricity and thus trouble w warming...
our house is warm but there is breaks with IT as you can imagine -  
i'll try to attach a photo later
