I know what needs to be done. I can probably do it but it's the SCRIPTS that defeat me.. I just don't have the hours of contiguous time it takes to figure out what goes on in there. It shouldn't be too hard to figure it out though if you already understand them (which I obviously don't as every time I've made suggestions it ends up that I didn't understand it and I was doing it backwards (or something)) I can make you a kernel as I'm sure you could with no scsi and no networking, (in about 10 minutes) but that's not the part I don't understand. ok, It's the weekend, And I'm inthe office trying to finish this stuff off but I guess I can try look again.. remember this disk doesn't have to be pretty or even complete.. it's for thos deperate enough to need it. maybe I'll make it availible via ftp or something.. I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND why this obsession of yours with not producing a SUBSET disk that handles this case.. The single floppy is neat but more than one version isn't a bad idea.. oh well, my compile's finished.. must go..
