And it (still?) does not support decompression of kernel modules, as of the latest (1.13) version... I don't think I'm alone using busybox this way, and it looks like decompression support should be added to it first, and next to the kernel.. ;) /mjt -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
