David,
I would be happy to help, however I have been unable to get the F17-GA
image to run on my Guruplug.. If I could get that running then I could
attempt to help with the F18 work.
Thank you for offering to help. I was looking
at the F17-GA test results:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/Quality_Assurance/2012-0...
and the Kirkwood image was tested on GuruPlug. Perhaps you can ping one
of the testers of that image for help getting it working on your Guruplug.
Thanks again,
