I thought it might be good to try building that on amiga, if you had
insisted on using that as the install kernel. BTW, is anybody working on
2.2.16 (I know its off topic here)? There were some big security issues and
the release manager wanted to know which kernel version we were using for the
boot-floppies...

Oh, cool. I usually prefer a source, where I do not have to apply any
patches. Is there any chance to get an up-to-date kernel source somewhere
with all patches included? Or maybe nearly all... I don't dare to start from
a fresh 2.2.10 source + patches either... might cost a little space, but
saves large amounts of time for everybody.
