Might I suggest that it could go WITH, not INTO, 2.1 as an "experimental" adjunct. I would hope that there will be enough of a freeze in the release source that someone like David could bring his source up to the release and generate a final set of diffs relative to that tree for inclusion with the release. Along those same lines, I would hope that the CD could contain enough of a framework to make it fairly easy to generate a custom kernel install floppy. It would be a big win if we could offer the ability to build custom floppies for unusual configurations (like those 4meg'ers that can't make it under the wire) or the atapi driver that doesn't quite make it into the release, but for which we might find a solution for certain machines. ---- Richard Wackerbarth rkw@dataplex.net
