But Midori's packaging system would be pretty handy in the current conversation on leaf-devel, which is how to add dependencies and versioning to the packaging sys. There was some talk about ramfs and cramfs, but IIRC they both rely on kernel 2.4 and would like to see glibc >2.0. There's devel work on both, but the space requirements are a big issue. You guys should join the list, there's a lot of active discussion on these issues and everyone would like to see some fresh perspectives. -- Jack Coates Monkeynoodle: It's what's for dinner! _______________________________________________ Leaf-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
