Just "yum install dracut-modules-olpc" on any F11 system, then hack away. you can get the exact module list we are using from the .spec file for the OLPC kernel RPM Daniel ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

Either it gets implemented in OFW's cpu/x86/pc/olpc/security.fth and we do the full dance of QA on an OFW signed image, or we deal with our userland moving faster than OFW and knowing activation formats that OFW doesn't know about. cheers, m -- martin.langh...@gmail.com mar...@laptop.org -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

Happy if you grab them, happy if you > post a quick 'how to hack on dracut for the XO'. The dracut documentation is all you need. It's remarkably simple. I would not suggest trying to get it working on F9. As for the patches, I think they need more discussion (or at least eyes). I would suggest creating a wiki page for each major change describing the motivation and implementation, and then creating a thread for each one with the appropriate people on CC. I'm particularly uneasy about the change that ignores OFW's judgement on whether a lease is valid. I think we need input from all of the relevant experts on that one. The date stuff is less scary but I do have some questions/concerns, and I think we should also push a wiki page under peoples noses so that they at least read about the changes we're making.
