Hello,

New snapshot:

The big news - we have managed to port the coLinux patch to the Linux 
2.6.7 tree. There might be some bugs and quirks but fixing problems in 
that tree is easier than doing so in the old 2.4.x tree.

More lengthy summary of changes:

  * Linux patch ported to Linux 2.6.7. Linux 2.4.x will not be
    officially supported anymore. (Dan Aloni and George Boutwell)
  * initrd support was added (teesoft2004 at yahoo.com.cn).
    To activate it you can specify e.g. <initrd path="..." /> in the
    configuration
  * Changed PCAP handling to use Connection Name instead of 
    Adapter/Device/Driver name. Name is +now uniform between PCAP & 
    TAP and multiple devices of the same/make/model should be able 
    to be connected to. (George Boutwell)
    NOTE: This *requires* you to update your configuration.
  * Support AltGr for both FLTK & NT consoles. (Sascha Kettler)

The 2.6.x port will make it easier adding the long awaited frame 
buffer support, as the FB kernel interfaces are more well-formed 
in that tree.

I've also updated the Linux port of coLinux, and managed to run
Linux 2.6.7 on Linux 2.6.7.
