I have been trying to find a way to use the 'menu splendor' to configure the 
following:

P1020wlan FREESCALE PPC based platform.

A minimal kernel.

And a separate

INITRAMFS image.

Or alternatively  a large EXT2 ram image.

Every option from the menu system leads to 'not being able to do this'.

When the 'ram disk' is selected in the main package configuration, the result 
is a 'initramfs_disk.o' file being encorporated into the kernel.

This actually wouldn't be so bad, but the P1020 Freescale hardware I'm using 
seems to have a faulty u-boot, which breaks with a 'gzip out of space' error 
for kernel images that are bigger than 4M.

Hence the need for a separate disk image which is large, and which the u-boot 
seems to have no problem with.

The patches that I got from Rainer Schuth work pretty well, so this is not a 
problem of the support for the P1020 wlan itself, but just how to configure the 
build configuration via the menus, or some 'hand work' to do this.

John Clark.
