Hi guys,

Adrian has kindly let me borrow one of his Wizards for a couple of
weeks, so I spent most of this arvo getting it installed.

I've made a tarball of a bare bones debian image, and a kernel that is
setup for the Wizard. They are at http://davidb.ucc.asn.au/wizard/

Run the specific kernel. 2.4-bf was showing 49 bogomips. This kernel on
the same wizard is running at 463 bogomips. Yes, that's almost an order
of magnitude.

There are a quick couple of things you will want to do to the tar image:

- Edit lilo.conf to make sure that it is pointing towards the correct
  target. It's writing to /dev/sda at the moment because of a USB caddy
  I was using
- Edit /etc/fstab to set the mount points correctly, and to set from
  ext2 to whatever filesystems you are running
- Run lilo
  
HTH,

David
