Hello Brendan,

I only get to work on this once a week, so here comes my late reply.

My machine is still following your procedure, but I blieve that you 
tested it and that it will succeed.  I had solved the out-of-date 
R-Kiosk problem last week by updating the tar file, but using a debian 
package instead is more nice, because is simplifies the morphix xml files.

Do you or Alex have the status on a recent kernel?

I have seen there is a basemod for 2.6.22:
http://morphix.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/morphix/trunk/mmaker/templates/basemod-2.6.22.xml?view=markup

Does it work?  Yes, I could try it out by myself but no time now... :)

If it works, why are there no autiobuilds of it?

If it doesn't work: What is broken?

Also, why does Morphix need a custom kernel at all?  Can't we use some 
Debian kernel?  Don't the current kernels have cloop and unionfs as 
modules in the .deb?

Will look at that next week, when my .iso and me are ready to reproduce 
the bug.

Best regards,
