Actually, just the opposite, I wanted a normal functioning system running a kernel with the experimental ntfs support. It's worked well enough in the past for ro operations and I often like to boot up w/an infected XP system drive to recover/scan files before blowing the drive away. > > Look around in distrib, that's where the instructions to build boot > kernels > happen.

Thanks to all for the help.
