Comments/Problems:
Everything went swimmingly. When I rebooted to finish the install, I had
to manually set the kernfile variable to /vmlinuz-2.4.25-netwinder. A
better solution would be for the installer to detect that it's installing
to a seperate /boot partition and to add a /boot/vmlinuz symlink instead of
an /vmlinuz one.
As well, when I finished the base install (opting out of using tasksel or
dselect), I was unable to install ssh. It installed to the point where it
tried to generate keys, and then died with Illegal instruction. I suspect
this is a hardware problem with my netwinder, however.
Cheers for the good work, the progress is fantastic!
