Sindi,

today I continued testing some of the cusomized 2.4.31 kernels
on your website.

- Sy doesnot work with USB modules (complains already with usbcore),

- it is the same with the Lm kernel. 

- Lc freezes after booting and loading USB device. 

So far I succeeded only with La - but La does not allow to mount 
CD-ROM.

In case you find time to compile a USB kernel with maximum RAM disk
8192 kB, I would describe my priorities as follows:

a) Please, do not make the kernel too specific. At this moment, I
know what I need it for - a very customized and minimized RAM disk
version of BL2. Nevertheless in future, it could be useful also when
booting into standard Slackware 7.1 installations. In that case a
lack of CD-ROM support, floppy drive etc. would be very annoying.

b) The module approach is okay to me. I do not need everything to be
built in. Loading the individual USB modules manually and in scripts 
can be helpful when debugging. If the basic RAM disk is 8MB I would 
not mind putting a number of modules on it. 

Christof
