Very interesting Jacques!!! It seems this is just what I have been looking for.... as I want a LEAF platform that uses 2.4.12 kernel (or newer) to support latest pcmcia and wireless tools. However, at first glance I was not able to locate the orinoco_cs wireless drivers... are they hiding somewhere, or not included in the collection you have built?
Will this distro support all of the packages that Charles has built for Dachstein? ... including IPSEC?? Congratulations!
