[freenet-chat] freedisk: pre-Alpha testers wanted

[David McNab]

Hi,

This is a call for pre-alpha testers for freedisk, the Freenet virtual
disk framework.

What I'll need you to have is:
 - curiosity and interest
 - a few bits of spare time on and off over the next few weeks
 - freenet 0.7 set up and working somewhere on your LAN
 - a linux-based OS
 - root access to this OS (for installation of packages)
 - ability to build kernel modules

What I'll need you to do for this stage of testing is:
 - install a small number of third-party packages, one of which (FUSE)
   needs you to build/install/load a kernel module
 - install the pyfcp package, which includes the Freedisk framework
 - report to me by email or IRC re any problems you run into
 - play around with the freenetfs
 - go through a few iterations of reinstalling pyfcp as I sort out
   the wrinkles

Anyone interested, please contact me off-list using my other email
address: rebirth at orcon dot net dot nz
