it!

Thanks to all of you who have contributed today. It's just fantastic!

What's the status on getting an account & password? Who do you have to know?

Stephan,

How do I put a PDF file there? Or a hierachy of html files?

I will be establishing web storage space for files (originally for 
myself, but I can make it available to others). If you need space, I'm 
going to configure websites like:

http://linuxbios-wiki-resource.windex.org/<username>/

that are intended for use by wiki maintainers to publish binaries, PDF 
files, and the like.

It will likely only be available via SCP, so using 'scp' or FileZilla 
would be required.

If you want an account, please let me know your wiki userid (so I can 
keep track of who is who), and I'll shoot you back a password/login 
information. You of course will need to agree not to abuse my DS3 
connected personal machine for non-linuxbios related purpose. :)

If anyone wants to CNAME me a record off of linuxbios.org, I'll be happy 
to set it up to maintain consistancy. Maintaining FTP space is a lot of 
work, so I'll be happy to do it for anyone with edit access and provide 
access to anyone who wants it for mirrors. The machine already has some 
"general public" type user accounts and is without incident (so far).

Hi all,

I am reading the linuxbios list for about 4 month, looking forward to
use linuxbios on my Epia M10000. I am not sure, if I build everything
allright. Maybe with the complete update of the website, there could be
ready-made ROM images available to download. I want to boot from hda,
which is a CF card.

The next thing is, how do I get the ROM image to the flash? The flash is
a SST39SF020A. The best solution would be that I use a second flash to
play with linuxbios, but I can't find a distributor in germany willing
to sell small quantities. 
My colleage has a programmer, which supports that flash. The idea is,
that he saves the standard BIOS and writes linuxbios to it. In case the
linuxbios image does not work, the original BIOS could be rewritten to
it. Would that work?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Regards
Martin

You might try Conrad or any other electronics shop. Be sure to purchase
a chip of the same family (39xx0y0)

Yes. This will work, I did such a lot of times. With the flash_rom
utility mentioned in the FAQ you can also easily create a rom backup
file of your original bios. (Be sure to copy it to another machine or
floppy before erasing the flash chip though ;)

Love the new page. As I do not have edit permissions, but would like to
help, here is the specs for the Via board's to put under your "(Unfinished
re-organization: Supported Motherboards)" section. You may need to do a
little formatting, but they should be for the most part, copy and paste.
Also more then willing to write the tutorial for the epia-mII, and the
sample configs.  If you would be so kind as to fix via south bridge stuff.

Yes, Justin Darby did a GREAT job of fixing up the FAQ, btw.
