They are availabe here and possibly on the Suse site by now: http://www.unixthugs.org/~jeffm/technical/reiserfs/aclea/2.6.0-test4/ So I'm on to the next phase of getting a debian system working with 2.6.0 (with devfs and a reiserfs root) I've got to sort out the initrd next. I've not needed it before so I'm on a cold start. First question is how to do the least damage to the debian setup. If I just replace /usr/sbin/mkinitrd, it is going to get overwritten the next time I do an upgrade. Secondly, all of the examples I find are somewhat different. Steve's patch in the HOWTO is for a very different looking RH file so it's hard to tell what he actually needs. Colin's July 17 looks reasonable and I'll probably start with that... but I am worried about the issues with debian packages. Colin? Russ? What approach do you suggest? BTW: I'm using Colin's policy default with a few fixes to let syslog-ng work. Russell's set is too divergent from Colin's for me to use it unless they've synced up recently. -- ------------------------------------------------------ IN MY NAME: Dale Amon, CEO/MD No Mushroom clouds over Islandone Society London and New York. www.islandone.org ------------------------------------------------------ -- This message was distributed to subscribers of the selinux mailing list.
