Looks good, except I don't understand the part about user-space drivers. A lot of hardware drivers rely on kernel interfaces for discovering and communicating with the hardware. I would think that build-time configurations that don't include kernel modules of some sort don't get these drivers, just like our current sim config doesn't get those drivers. Is that how you see it too Michael? I'm also a bit concerned that there are so many configs now - 6 are listed on the wiki page of your proposal. It implies a lot of coding, building, and testing. It also implies a much more complicated install: which of the 6 Live CDs should a user try first? I assume exactly two of those configs will turn out to be the most useful: one for running real machines and another for casual testing on 'normal' computers, like our current 'realtime' and 'sim' builds. Maybe it'd be best to identify which configs are the most useful, and then focus our effort on those configs/platforms? -- Sebastian Kuzminsky ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
