Re: [ros-dev] Roadmap I'm sticking to

[Andrew Faulds]

I think USB comes under working/functional OS. Poeple need to be able
to transfer files in and out on USB memory sticks and the like,
actually run it on a PC post-2007 which lacks PS/2 Mouse and Keyboard
ports, connect their WiFi dongle...
Oh and I think uniata is very important. It'd help if you could
actually INSTALL the OS in the first place on recent PCs.
