<br>I'm following Peter Robinson's suggestion, and using FC17 armv7hl snapshots as a base. The systemd startup requires mostly trivial changes from the old systemV mechanisms.<br><br>Now that I've got some of the services running, I'm wondering how to contribute to the XS codebase. What I'd prefer is to contribute deltas from XS-0.7 that use `uname -p` to enable the appropriate path through the startup scripts.<br>
