I'm sure you already are aware of this, DJ, but the "proper" way to do this would be to checkout a working copy of 6.6, edit packages.ent to upgrade the kernel, then point jhalfs at the working copy instead of the "real" 6.6. If jhalfs were modified to be able to accept a user-specified version of the kernel, you'd have to pass it the version + md5sum anyway, at which point you may as well just type them into packages.ent as type them in jhalfs' config file :-) Regards, Matt. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/alfs-discuss FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
