OK, thanks. We'll hold off until everyone is happy.

Well, I've been using it on the RPi here but it's the one Chris Hall put
into a prototype distro and I've no idea what its provenance is. However,
the RPi hardware shouldn't look a lot different to Iyonix from Zap's PoV so
I'd expect the latest Zap to be OK.

Could you point me at what you guys would consider to be the 'current and
correct' version?

Thanks,

Steve
