Right. I've started putting a together a set of updated files on the wiki
which includes the new bootloader and new kernel. The bootloader needs
updating to default to 'guralp' or 'aleph1' build, and then it just needs a
new rootfs with a matching set of kernel modules for the kernel and that'll
be a rather better-working base system.

Just for info I've also updated the info on the fillballoon script, added
info on manual uploading of extra files, the extrernal connector, and on
setting the 'build' flavour. I'm in the process of sorting out updated info
on usb setup and pcmcia setup, and ther is info on the LCD to go up as well.

balloonboard.org access has been a bit intermittent for the last few days
due to something bad happening with our DNS registration. I hope that's all
sorted now, but it was certainly missing again from here this afternoon, if
you used NTL's DNS.
