[Netkit.users] First official release of Netkit-NG

[Saverio Proto]

Hello,

I confirm I see now /proc/config.gz

I still have very slow disk operations. I tried on two different
computers to make sure it is not a problem related to a specific host
machine.

I noticed that disk operations are slow even if I work into /hosthome,
so not on the netkit filesystem.

I will try to make a procedure so that you can reproduce what I see. I
will send something more to you in the late afternoon.

Saverio
