Al,
Is there somewhere one could see what you are planning to merge?

I was following the klibc dicussion list, but the archiver went slient after
August.

I like the idea in general, but I wasn't sure where this was going. It
looked like the discussion there was going for replacing the do_mounts with
the kernel uncpio/uncompress followed by a bunch of small utilities and
scripts. I had some other ideas that I played with, but depend on starting
with a single binary to make a lot of sense (going for the multi-call binary
base approach). (This would leave the initrd file for the user space).

If there is some place to get a preview I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
milton
