Hi Adam, my ROM image is attached. My system is Lenovo ThinkPad X61s. It has one LCD display and one VGA connector, I attached stripped lspci output as well. Let me know if you need more info.

Original story is here: http://fcp.surfsite.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=flat&topic_id=63613&forum=11 I agree that current state of bind-chroot package is not ideal (as reported on https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=504596) but I'm working on it.

Customizable script in /etc which is executed during package update
Hi all, I've been contacted with one man who is using "named" daemon in chroot environment. In Fedora <= 10 there is script called "bind-chroot-admin" which synchronized non-chroot and chroot configuration files (mostly created symlinks to chroot). This script has been removed in F11 development process due various reasons (http://fcp.surfsite.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=flat&topic_id=63613&forum=11) As the man suggested it would be nice to have a method to automatically synchronize chroot and non-chroot during updates because it will simplify administration. I would like to add script called "/etc/sysconfig/named-chroot-update-hook" which will be modified by administrator to sync needed files to chroot environment during each update. Then every admin will easily maintain his own "version" of chroot. What do you think about this? Do you know any better approach?
