Sorry, but I'm just a user.

BLAGHEAD had been incorporating the latest pre-release Fedora repos, but I'm not sure that the mirrored repo includes it just yet. In the absence of BLAG 100K, I'd probably download Fedora 10 along with the latest linux-libre with an eye toward avoiding non-free software. For now, however, BLAG 90K remains my default desktop.

Ok! I have to reinstall BLAG on my desktop because I made something wrong after I Install debian with Dual Boot. So I'm on Debian but don't like it any more since I've tried BLAG.
I'm going to install 90001 since we don't know when 100K will come.
I still have my BLAG x86_64 on my laptop.

If you don't have a CD of BLAG 90001, you can find the latest ISO at http://ks355011.kimsufi.com/blag/90000/en/iso/BLAG-90001-i386.iso

I have one. Thanks! I'm on Blag on my Desktop. Now, I have to update and install the software I need.

Well the good news is Fedora is looking a lot more closely at the license of it's packages. So BLAG repos would be Fedora - firmware + patent encumbered

I hope it will continue to have the same cleaning of the kernel because I have Broadcom ethernet card on my two computers and with the BLAG kernel (Jebba only clean the non-free code lines, not the entire driver) my cards work. Not with the gNewSense one. Because they remove all the tg3 driver.

Well from the sound of it BLAG used the kernels from here:

http://www.fsfla.org/svnwiki/selibre/linux-libre/

It also states that gnewsense used a different approach.

My BLAG is totally reinstalled with all the software I need; so I go to bed. It's one o'clock.
Salut. Merci for your informations. But I never tried to install a kernel from other sources but BLAG repositories.

Mailing list please. Makes things more open. Setting up "acid" as a dev machine. Wish me luck!

I'm attempting converting my porn laptop to a distro rolling laptop over the holiday weekend in the states. Wish me luck, I'll only have pirated wireless or dial up.
