provided we can meet the following criteria, i have no objections to the use of 2.4.x, and dropping of 2.2.x: 1) (mandatory) we are still able to use ext3/resierfs/xfs(if available) as the root partition. this would either mean building the install kernel with ext3/resierfs/xfs(if available) statictly in the kernel (unlikely) or include them as modules int he RAM disk (possible, but might take up more room on the root disk that we don't really have). 2) (optional, but nice) we are able to support a 2.2.x install by the end user dropping in a 2.2.x kernel by following the instructions for using a custom kernel basically, i don't want to see us lose our options to support multiple filesystems on the root partition. it would be great if one flavour could do all supported filesystems, and it looks like 2.4.x will be able to do that. -john -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
