PmM is the name of a configuration for Mele.

Made in perl/dialog.  
It is currently a part of the lastest ubuntu/debian image made available here:  
[mele-ubuntu-12-10-armhf-base-with-nand-install-v1](https://guillaumeplayground.net/mele-a2000-ubuntu-12-10-armhf-base-with-nand-install-v1/)  
[mele-debian-wheezy-armhf-base-with-nand-install-v1](https://guillaumeplayground.net/mele-a2000-headless-debian-wheezy-armhf-with-nand-install-v1/)

You can download it separately:  
[pimpmymele-0.1.tgz](https://guillaumeplayground.net/share/pimpmymele-0.1.tgz)  
`ddfd0be76ab4d29f11c581d7b4edc91f pimpmymele-0.1.tgz`

The goal is quite simple: Ease the process of configuring graphics/mac address/nand install/led blink.

You can choose to:

-   install on NAND the image and boot from it
-   change the graphic mode with the menu
-   change the mac address
-   **blink the led** red/blue with timing after the boot (really crucial feature)

In dialog mode (terminal):
