Your version of the OBI is the next one (2.6 if I remember correctly),
that I have not yet integrated into a complete system (no tarball, no
compressed image file). It should be better, and I would not like you to
step backwards, instead I would debug it, if necessary.

I am not sure what is the problem, and if there is something you have
changed, or that I have changed (if you use exactly the same version,
that I gave to you). And I am not sure why it failed for me. I have to
debug that. Maybe there was some very special reason for failing?

I thought it was urgent that you get a good starting point, a working
precise-mini tarball, where you can build ToriOS, so I uploaded it, and
there is a way to install it, to make a system with a working wired network.

Do you really think people intend to make servers from ToriOS? OK, to
install the openssh server for usage in a LAN, but a serious server
should be made as a dedicated server, starting directly from an Ubuntu
mini.iso, Ubuntu Server iso file or debian iso file ...
