Hi, Greg - The latest set of klibc work is all accessible from http://www.speakeasy.org/~bos Here's a brief description of each part. The patches are as independent as possible, and are in BitKeeper format. * ipconfig-2.5.69.patch removes ipconfig from the kernel, and prevents CONFIG_ROOT_NFS from working. * nfsroot-2.5.69.patch removes nfsroot from the kernel. * initramfs-2.5.69.patch (requires the nfsroot patch) stops do_mounts from doing anything if the kernel is passed root=/dev/nfs or root=initramfs. This is a stopgap until the rest of the junk in init/do_mounts gets moved to userspace. * klibc-2003-05-22.tar.bz2 is the latest CVS snapshot of the klibc tree. * kinit-2003-05-22.bin is a kinit executable, which you can drop into usr after applying the initramfs patch above, rebuild the kernel, reboot with root=/dev/nfs, and boot over NFS. I'll send along the kernel patches as individual attachments. <b
