At this chance, something from my private whish list: :) "unprepare-kernel.sh" or so, i.e. turning the kernel in its original vanilla state again. This is helpful when applying/reversing third-party kernel patches which also touch the modified Makefiles. I think on some 2.4 kernel, even reverting ipipe collides with the xeno-preparation. > The previous patch was also incorrect when trying to cross-compile the > Linux kernel or building it for ppc.

But you still have to configure both parts separately. The question for me is now if this simplifies the situation expecially for beginners. So far, the separation was clearly visible, now it /may/ become blurred (but I'm not a beginner...). Can you provide a rough comparision of the workflows? Sorry, but I'm too lazy, I mean busy to give it a try. Jan
