Hi David; Fine with me, but we should be careful not to produce too much images to avoid confusion. The geode one with Alix support e.g. does not need an isolinux or one without serial support. I also don't the need for i686-serial image; I guess usual 686-based machines provides a VGA port, so one can start with the default inittab and modify later for serial support if needed. (I don't think we need "alix" to the geode kernel - it's hopefully understandable without, and alix itself doesn't help a lot cause we do not support alix1 and alix6...) kp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Next 800 Companies to Lead America's Growth: New Video Whitepaper David G.
