There's some indication that Darkstar2000 was making progress at booting his preferred Linux using the fast boot capability SplashTop/Expressgate offers, but some of the details went over my head... Just wondering if anyone else has made any progress at using Splash/Gate to fast boot an alternative Linux Distro?

I too am interested in this. What is the boot process with this? Where is the actual kernel image even located? Is it CEFULL or kernel.bin or a combination of the two? And if the bootloader is located in the bios rom would that mean there would be no way to pass options to a custom kernel?
