Hey Martin! > My idea was to put APEX in that 1 MB space and use that to load the > real Linux kernel from another location in flash, What annoys me the most about my debian-slug is that I'm stuck with the 2.6.15-1-nslu2 kernel because I don't know how to flash my own. Not only are IPv6 or usbfs unusable, but any custom option is impossible, not to speak of security issues. My suggestion: Why not make a bootloader that loads a kernel from the disk? The static kernel in flash should do nothing else than scan the first disk for a /boot/nslu2boot.conf file, (for instance) read the real kernel location and commandline from it at boot it. Only this gives the users the necessary possibilities. This is only my 2¢, I hope this inspires you and I would be glad to help. IF you think my idea is a bad idea, I write you some advantages. cheers Kevin -- http://counter.li.org/cgi-bin/runscript/display-person.cgi?user=214656 http://www.amazon.de/gp/registry/wishlist/1STJFWXVXM083/ ICQ#75570407
