[ARMedslack] Hello everyone

[Nigel Sollars]

Hi Stuart,

Thanks very much for the response il go over the documentation provided and
look into miniroot etc etc.  Ive started documenting my journey with this
unit ( from a technical view ).

The installer idea is interesting as the fc18 image actually finishes up
with running the configuration script just as if you did an install from a
cd / image.  Perhaps this is the correct approach.  I was testing all
distro's / images at the time to make sure I was seeing the same activity
when I was getting the Bluettooth working.

So maybe do an image that then starts off running the ncurses slackware
configuration tool to setup networking / wifi etc etc.  may require some
changes / additions for wpa_supplicant.  Under all distro's ive tested with
none deal with wpa_supplicant, so it requires manual editing.

What do you think?

Regards
Nigel
