 * rpms installed for amahi: httpd, ruby, samba,

-Missing deps in the installer:
-* httpd, samba, cadaver, bind-utils
 RPMs not available from the mirrors:
 * hda-greyhole
+* cadaver
 * rubygem-gd2 - actually - is this one necessary?
+* ruby-RMagick
-Other:
-* VPN does not work (had to turn it off in servers). This could be due to the kernel not having all that it needs for TUN/TAP?:
-      Cannot allocate TUN/TAP dev dynamically
-* Greyhole not working - hda-greyhole needed
-* crontab does not appear to be working
-* had to add with noatime in / to prevent flash burnout
-* should control monit - it keeps on pounding the flash with messages in /var/log/monit
-* would like to add swap to flash based drives
-* mt-daapd and amahi-transmission are dying
-= Getting it Going =
-Here are the steps to make it boot from USB
-* General [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/SheevaplugUSB directions]
-* get the rootfs-f12.tar.bz2 from
-     http://ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/arm/fedora/rootfs/
-* Connect the JTAG module and connect the USB side to a terminal emulator
-* Putty for windows (Serial)
-* gtkterm for linux (use 2 stop bits!)
-* Reset the device from the JTAG module
-* At the terminal, press enter a couple of seconds after boot to prevent it booting to the flash
-* There are some commands to make it permanently boot off USB:
-          setenv mainlineLinux yes
-          setenv arcNumber 2097
-          setenv bootargs_root 'root=/dev/sda1 rootdelay=15'
-          setenv bootcmd_usb 'usb start; ext2load usb 0:1  0x6400000 /boot/uImage-2.6.30-sheevaplug'
-          setenv bootcmd 'setenv bootargs $(console) $(bootargs_root); run bootcmd_usb; bootm 0x6400000'
-          saveenv
-          reset
