We are trying to get our suite of laptops ready for summer outings, the ones details here:

http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/SuccessStories#Bristol_Wireless_and_Psand_net_M

I have been working at trying to get a new kernel for these machines. This started as an idea to build most of the parts of a wireless-ltsp type floppy together. Our clients boot a hacked version of the wireless-ltsp floppy from their hard drives. It seems that all I should really need to do is get together initrd and vmlinuz files and make any necessary ammendments to the linuxrc, though things have changed in kernel land since the original disk. I am guessing I might need to re-build the whole ramdisk structure too though.

It would be good to have any guidelines or notes for building the necessary items, as I can forsee many blind alleys and false trails ahead.

Can anyone give some advice?

I have made a start on flagging what I think will be issues here http://www.bristolwireless.net/wiki/index.php/HDBoot2.6 and will make a start on the laptops today.
