updated 'Quick Installation' and some other questions.

[Jim Shallman]

I was trying to respond to Roman's posting by the same subject in April
2005.  I see the thread got broken,
probably because I had to cut & paste from my flippin windows machine to
send it.

So far, I've only followed the directions posted at:

http://jornada820.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Installation%20Quick%20Start?PHPSESSID=5cf7cd3c556f4a052bc963492bbe59d3

Pointed to from: http://jornada820.sourceforge.net/wiki/

Though I see the next link
(http://jornada820.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Debian%20on%20the%20Jornad
a%20820) talks about mkxdeb.

Figured I should probably try walking before I tried to run ...--JTS (aka

Is that a bug the the filesystem image you are using? I have no
problem with the debian images I create with mkxdeb, or with mounting
devfs on /dev. If this bug is in an image distributed on the web,
please tell which. Otherwise, it's just a bug in your system.

accumulated fruits of their own and their ancestors' labor: their capital.
