Ken,

Are you integrating Andrews patches into the distribution?

I'm very busy now, but once this period is over I'd like to configure
a machine to be diskless (actually, boot from the network, but allows
me to juggle disks in and out of it, while keeping the configuration
and bootstuff on a different computer.). It'd be neat if the
distribution would be updated to have a working eepro driver again. :-)
