HI Folks I have fought a bit with my new 5.01 installation on a WRAP and I am still wrestling to get it up and running the way I want.
I have a few requests for future packaging - Could we refrain from placing the modules in a flat directory, it makes the modules directory horribly unreadable and I don't see any benefit. - Could we make a version with minimal modules in initmod? You may think this is unpractical, but for myself I found that in initmod there is no natsemi driver so most of the modules there are not needed. Whatever you choose It will be the wrong choice most of the time, but it is overloading small platforms. - It might be practical to provide a small tool to build a customized initmod from the modules tarball. Autodetection is a fine idea if you have memory to spare. The upside of all the distros which are targeting a single platform is that they can and do customize their kernel and thus can live with a very small footprint. - I suggest to add a few pseudo targets to the build process, which do not require a recompile of the kernel but a rearrangement of initrd and initmod ... like WRAP, ALIX, hopefully soon something like TP-xxx. - I may be horribly old fashioned, but how many of you are really using IPv6. Despite all the ballyhoo it is still not widely used (in Europe) and IMHO it should be an option. The future may prove me wrong. cheers Erich
