ok.

in the queue :)

ok. You might want to cook something up? :)

2.6.20.6 as base.

yes, but that's based on 2.6.19 with an old grsec patch. I'm waiting for a 
new patch based on the grsec patch in ~spender.


Okay, first shot list follows (done):
-------------------------------------
- -ck tree with sd scheduler
- lots of fixes all over the place
- rpldev hooks for tty logging
- multiadm
- some netfilter stuff like:
   - u32
   - route
   - tarpit
   - account
   - connlimit
   - ipp2p
   - time
   - layer7
   - sysrq
   - tproxy
   - chaos
   - delude
   - portscan match
- OpenSwan
- ndiswrapper
- kdb
- apparmor
- supermount-ng
- some bootlogos
- bootsplash
- for sure: grsecurity2 *latest
- lots of other fixes, enhancements all over the other place
- cdemu
- squashfs
- quadDSP
- UnionFS
- SerialMonkey RALINK drivers


needed:
-------
- xen
- vserver
- more netfilter stuff
- dunno what else. I've seen there's alot new stuff out there I have to
   catch up with ...
- maybe rsbac
- maybe kernel mode linux
- madwifi
- and for sure tons of other things I've forgotten :)
- drivers drivers and drivers missing in mainline
- cloop


are there other *splash things out there one wants to use these days or is 
bootsplash still "the way to go"? :)

I'll upload my current work to kernel.org this afternoon so you all might 
test ...


ciao, Marc
