Terry,

  Yes, they are the "latest", which like I said, isn't saying much
because I haven't worked on it in quite some time.

  I used a slightly modified initrd.img from the AstLinux live CD to
make this work.  I use losetup and then I copy the entire image to
RAM, then I switch to the new root.  I didn't like the idea of having
the FAT fs mounted all of the time just for the loop image...

  What do you think?
