Hi Michael Petch, It turns I'm going to take your suggestion and attempt to roll my own. Not because I want to (I'm very lazy) but because I've read through the linux devices article, http://www.linuxdevices.com/articles/AT8073314981.html (thanks Erik) and can't quite find what I'm looking for.
I've used busybox recently but I haven't compiled a kernel since 95. I'll be building my distribution to live on a compact flash and the processor is a Crusoe by Transmeta. Do you have any recommendations on how to do this? I've found a few myself through Google but I'm just wondering if you've had success with any particular method?
