But things seem to get lost in the main Carolina thread so I thought I'd toss this out here.
The new 3.17 kernel with Carolina 1.2.
Nothing's different from mainstream Carolina 1.2 except the BASH update. (and naturally the kernel
)Compiled with the testing branch of Woof-CE. Thanks guys for making it so easyhttp://www.phoronix.com wrote:
