Got to this site. It's mostly O2 stuff, but if you look carefully in his |
6 |
screen shots, there are two that are supposedly of this FB console for |

extreme. One shows text, another a floating boxes animation. |

Go into his kernel directory, and you can download the IP22 kernel ready |

I looked carefully through all his patches and links. The extreme patch |
13 |
is not to be found. I don't even see an email for this "milang" fellow. |
14 |
However, interestingly, some of the kernel config files are labled |
15 |
"onion". |

If we get lucky, the right search terms in the world brain (google) might |
18 |
just yeild fruit. I'll keep poking at it. |
