What support is missing exactly from Crusoe for i686 instructions? because it does in fact have an FPU I don't know where you heard that it doesn't. Its more likely that you were hitting other unsupported instructions. or something in -O2 was messing up the CMS
I have archlinux, and sometimes it randomley makes 4 new unaccesable desktop screens, i can see them by pressing CTRL + ALT + left mouse click and hold + drag mouse, or CTRL + ALT + back arrow and I can see smaller desktop windows but I cant use them, i want this to stop. any ideas? terminal? configuration?
@macafern Not a problem! I wanted this to work just as much, so I had to do something about it. I learned everything by the wonderful support I've received from the Arch Linux BBS and annoying people on irc.freenode.net with too many questions. I wouldn't have been able to get this far myself :) The most I can ask is to enjoy it (as it sounds like you would!) and chip in to the linux community whenever you can.
@macafern I take it these guys run a Crusoe? I'm going to upload a video response of what to do in a bit :) I'm on AIM pretty religiously as sawtoothdentist, so hit me up.

Please, don´t hide behind a nickname. You deserve all the credit for this work. Do you have a blog or web site? an email address?.
Best regards,

hey synthead this is GREAT news!!!!. I´ve been waiting for this for years!!!
I have a handful of Gateway Connected Touchpad internet appliances from Gateway/AOL that used to run a very ancient (2.4 kernel) Midori Linux.
Now I could finally install an up to date Linux on it!
Now,how does one install this? is there an archlinux livecd or install cd that boots this kernel by default? or how do I drop this kernel into the cd?
Where can I reach you?
