Hmmm... Do you work for Dyson, by any chance? Or that other "large company" developing autonomous cleaning robots? Rob Schofield -- Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will sit in a boat drinking beer all day.

Recovery from a bad init?
by Tom Cramer 15 Mar '00

Is re-imaging the root directory the only way to recover from a bad init? I got my D.net client running all the time, and thats part of the problem. I forgot to background the buffer checker, so the unit boots and runs the client and keeps looping there. Can the system be booted in a way to ignore the init once and dump to a shell?

Test message for empeg-dev list
by Kim Salo 13 Mar '00

13 Mar '00

Hi all, Well, there probably are not that many to read this list yet as I believe this was created just a short while ago. Mainly, I'd like to test that whether this e-mail address is the correct one - though I didn't see any other either. Could someone (Verement?) please reply if sending this e-mail to the list succeeds. PS. The first try didn't succeed, I'm now trying to figure out the right e-mail address to send these messages, patient please ;) Thanks, Kim
