David, I would be happy to help, however I have been unable to get the F17-GA image to run on my Guruplug.. If I could get that running then I could attempt to help with the F18 work. -derek David Marlin <dmarlin@xxxxxxxxxx> writes: > It was brought to my attention that the F18 Alpha lacked a Kirkwood > image, which we had for F17.
