I'd like to see:
- a fix to send mail from init (this is a one line fix)
- a fix for lrp_space_check; it won't work with Bering, since you've created 
a second partition for /var/log
I have a dumb two line fix, Michael D. Schelif has written a much more 
flexible script - needs probably more documentation and an example, 
Michael...

Your busybox still has the applet freeramdisk, I'm pretty shure this doesn't 
work with tmpfs, and nobody will free /dev/root.

Dachstein had a ramdisk.lrp; after I#ve looked into it, it's not needed in 
Bering. To create another ramdisk/partition is done nearly automatically if 
you have a fstab entry and a package, which provides a mount point - 
something worth to mention in the docs. (I can write the few lines of text, 
if wanted).

Another point, is the handling of /lib/modules.
Charles approach in Dachstein-CD has been an intelligent /etc/modules and load 
process - with mount/umount commands and cd capabilty. Eric create a link and 
hold the CD mount in /cdmnt. Couldn't decide, which way is better... 

And as a last point:
The current CD building process with isolinux is technically the most advanced 
solution, anyway I can't boot with it. HP Anvin tells us in a few places, 
that a lot of older bios are buggy and will only boot  with the ugly 
syslinux/bootdisk.img solution. In opposite to Dachstein, this is mostly  
harmless, cause we don't need root.lrp oin the bootdisk.img. Therefor an 
alternate way to build a cdrom should be mentioned in the docs (again, will 
try to add it in a timely manner, if wanted).

Ah, one more  - could you please provide a busybox/Config.h similar to the 
kernel config?

regards kp
