i was saying that we'd be forcing a kernel on you ... kernel settings are in 
the air ... but in the end you'd probably be able to choose kernel/modules 
yourself ala slackware style ...
the trouble i'm having (and the reason i sent this mail) is getting 
bootloaders working ;)  i fixed the zero-ing of ramdisks by using loopback, 
but now when i try to grub/lilo a loopback device, it (obviously) complains 
it doesnt know anything about a loopback device.  anyone ever try this kind 
of thing before ?  the idea is to produce the final image w/out ever actually 
writing/reading to a floppy for (1) speed and (2) no worries of errors.
