Is that a typo? 2.1.x certainly isn't newer than 2.6.x. If you meant to

setting up on new hardware. Not a problem, other than one thing -
working out what device the rootfs should be on. Currently it's
configured in syslinux to use /dev/sda1, but I'd prefer something a
little more flexible

Hi all...
Over the next few weeks, I'm going to be setting up a wireless (802.11g)
network at home to allow a number of machines to share a new DSL
connection. In particular, I need to get a wireless card (PCI) for my
LFS desktop, and get it working.
Can anyone offer advice on this? Based on what

Can't blame you - that's pretty ugly. I've seen (and written) worse

Depends on whether the last is a typo... the current hotplug (as used in
LFS SVN) is 20040923.

Which version of HAL are you playing with? Gnome 2.10 isn't compatible
