Downloading, i will make the adaptation for pegasos until monday or
tuesday. Not sure much need to be changed, just it should include the
kernels with builtin initrd for chrp-rs6k and prep, i guess not much is
needed. Well, and a link from the -chrp kernel to the -chrp-rs6k maybe.
And, please include partimage if it is not already, it is a very usefull
tool for backuping/restoring partitions. I plan to make a DVD-RW with
DFS and a partimage copy of my main partitions. Maybe even an
automated script to do the restore or such.
Friendly,
