Re: [Freeipmi-devel] how to transfer installation binaries to other pc

Great ... I will let you know about the status of the package porting. 
It seems that we have couple of boxes with sunbmc driver :-P    .. at

progress of testing/porting .. ideally, the package should be ready for 
snv_107.

Regards,

Michal
