sadly i'm stuck at dependencies. i have not enough time to understand all of those articles so the progress is slow. linux is cool and it's not new to me, but i can count on one hand how many times i compiled things from sources in the last ~14 years.

That's a config that works so you can build your own.

There's also precompiled files there if you want to use them... but i'm not going to host them forever.

Also i hope you understand that you MUST use serial to perform the initial install (at least according to the wiki)?

damn i did not noticed that. so no way if the upgrading method not change... serial is not an option. i hate this. gargoyle is my daily driver on my 3 devices.
