more people would do it. For instance, I have here ATI, Intel, and SiS
video cards and no agreement is possible between them. If you add the
more common ones (Matrox, Nvida), trouble adds up. The SiS 6326 for
sure is not happy in Vesa. Likewise if you try the wrong module in usb
for Via boards, it loads and spews alarming error messages
There is a two floppy version of linux which somehow loads X. Why not
look at how they did it.
You will probably end up going back to source , dropping back several
versions, and then patching in needed features. That's certainly what
floppy distros end up doing. Enjoy. Tomsrtbt is apparently written
entirely in lua, (Whassat?) runs a 2.2 kernel and is ext3 compatible.
Ext3 didn't come along until well into 2.4x development, IIRC. But it
is developed under itself!
