It will be half the size if you take your current config (with sound and

Why don't you take an existing kernel and make an initrd to boot from
SCSI with? Just take the blppaz initrd, resize it (if necessary), replace
the zip disk modules with a scsi controller module and change /linuxrc
to a script that just insmods everything.

I just remembered that it is framebuffer, not scsi, that you said was broken in your 2.4.31 kernel, so I will try to boot from /dev/sda1 with that kernel. Can I use the initrd.gz you supplied with it?

Please include slhc in your next package.

I can add a scsi drive to the last free bay in an existing computer, partition/format it, and copy over BL2, chroot to it to make sure it works, then try booting directly to it (from DOS IDE drive) using any kernel and an initrd.gz with scsi modules in it.

After I give up on the laser printer. If cleaning does not stop the jamming there is a $49 roller kit.

Thanks for all the custom kernels and other packages. I use dosemu (VDE), netpbm, and mplayer frequently.
