I changed the whole mirroring process due to some abuses. UTK has 361 now.
The TUX loop came back when they switched from ftp to rsync, but I can fix
it by just not having home.html in the rsync source directory, it will go
away within the day. It is stabilizing.

Just the insmod bug and stupid noaccount bugs like missing necho in
busybox.

You can do that at the boot: prompt, like:
boot: zImage ramdisk=16000k
I think, if 4mb is too small. But, if you mean you want the / and /usr
larger, you can adjust buildit.s and rebuild, it probably will not happen
otherwise, because I am avoiding the space cost of filesystem overhead.

There are several (more than several) ways I want to enhance the asmutils
utilities. I have added this to the to-do list, but it will require some
retooling time to wrap myself around the assembly code.

Look in the add-ons directory under TUX or UTK.

I suppose I should fix that. You are actually the first to complain, I
think.
