David, Agreed. :-) I also found the Knopperdisk project's hybrid approach to support for older systems interesting. It seems they boot using a floppy+usb arrangement. We've done things similar to that in the past with, dual-floppy, pxe, and your apkg. Combining Venki's linux 2.6 kernel with this approach is interesting to ponder. -- Mike Noyes <mhnoyes at users.sourceforge.net> http://sourceforge.net/users/mhnoyes/ SF.net Projects: leaf, phpwebsite, phpwebsite-comm, sitedocs ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
