I have a *very* experimental 2.6.20 based base mod - Not suitable for gener=

use as it was produced as a "proof of concept" and includes some unusual=20
patches..

Don't know - If Alex has a package ready, we can set Zathras up to autobuil=

it.

As I understand it, cloop is deprecated in favour of squashfs, and unionfs =
can=20
only be found in the -mm patchset - Some users also like the eyecandy=20
provided by the bootsplash patch.
 For my part, I have a couple of experimental patches that I try to sneak i=
n=20
that would never be considered for a mainstream Debian build.
