Doug,
1) The initrd_kit is most of the stuff I use to build a kernel package.
I made it available
for download, so that #1, people could see how I did it. and #2,
they could build their
own kernels.
2) Option-128 is a vendor ID tag. The value 'e4:45:74:68:00:00' is a
special value indicating
Etherboot. That is, etherboot recognizes that number. Etherboot
will ignore any additional
options, like option-129, if option-128 does NOT have that special
value.
The latest versions of our kernel package don't need option-128 or
option-129, because
we now autodetect the network card. (assuming it's a PCI card).
3) why did you have to remove the mouse stuff ? you should be able to
keep both.
4) I think the newer version of KDM has it's own kdm.conf file. find
that file,
maybe /etc/X11/kdm/kdm.conf and see if there is a place to enable xdmcp.
Good luck,
Jim McQuillan
