Debian GNU/Linux bootable on Corel's NetWinder

>> News

It is now possible to boot the Corel NetWinder Computer with Debian 
GNU/Linux, thanks to the work of Jim Pick and the other team members of the 
Debian Arm port.  A disk image with instructions on how to use it is 
available from

<ftp://ftp.jimpick.com/pub/debian/netwinder/bootable-image/>

A kernel package of the new ELF kernel (some notes are available at
<http://www.netwinder.org/~ralphs/knotes.html>) is available from

<ftp://ftp.jimpick.com/pub/debian/netwinder/kernel/>

This alleviates the need for the chroot environment that previous 
development work was being conducted in, and allows work to progress even 
faster than before.  This will also allow more people to join in the 
development effort easily.
