[U-Boot] newbie mailing list (WAS Re: [U-Boot-Users] test program crashing)

Dear Michael Trimarchi,

please note that the old list at SourceForge is dead. Don;t use it any
more.

What would that help? Nothing.

Guess how many people I refer to documents like
http://catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html  or
http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html
do actually _read_ this stuff?


The problem was not a newbie issue, but ignorance - not bothering to
think a second how anybody could provide help based on zero
information.

I feel 42 is a perfectly reasonable answer to the question :-)

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
